Just wanna says congrats to Terrier on the No. 2 !!!
Afcai,
Kekekeke.... Will start to bring my girl down to playground soon when she can walk. She is learning these couple of weeks... only last friday then she can finally stand on her own. Actually I suspect she can walk liao but she got no confidence, she will only walk if she can hold on to my fingers.
So the playground at 392 there is quieter?
Apple Tree - I think last time there used to be an Apple Tree in CCK. At this bomb shelter at 273. I thought I remember them being in Apple Tree tracksuit. But dunnoe if now still got??

Hi Susan,
My boy will only start at Carpe Diem around May as he's yet to turn 18 months old. Hence, I can't really comment much on it.
As far as I know though I didn't ask the nephew's parents since I hardly see them except their kid who stays at my place, the centre has various themes at diff period, so kids can learn diff things. They also arrange outings to visit places and stage performances done by kids, etc. In the centre itself that I went the other day to take a look, it has segregated areas for diff groups to learn diff things, depending on kid's age & learning pace. Each teacher takes care of a small group of kids (about 5-6, I think).Fee is about $400/month after subsidy for half-day childcare and about $800 for full day.

Susan,
The amount includes uniform & other misc stuff. The average price now as far as I know is $350+. I actually went to Just Kids too but price is even more ex than Carpe Diem! Well, at least $400 is cheaper than those "branded" schools featured in Sunday Times the other day which cost is equivalent to undergrad school fees

Kekekekeekeke.... actually I was quite surprised by the pricing of the "branded schools", esp Pat's Schoolhouse. I thought it was more expensive than $1340 for full day childcare. You should have seen my hubby's face when I told him that I didn't think that price for Pat's Schoolhouse is exp.
Sneezy mom,
From what you say Carpe Diem sounds quite ok.
Hope your boy enjoys himself there!
My hubby keep telling me that he just want to send my girl to the Sparkletots at Blk 386. Luckily my workplace got subsidised childcare, so I can send my girl here instead.

CLY,
Thanks for the info!
heehee, I think I will try out the class for one sem and see when my girl turns 18months.
afcai,
Sparkletots is under PCF...
The Village CLY and I are talking about is the name of the newborn-18months class at Kindermusik, which is called Kindermusik Village. My girl attending that now.
Kekekekeke... my girl now likes to slide down the bed because we have been trying to teach her how to climb down safely, so we will put her halfway down and let her slide down. When she reach the floor we will clap, then she's very happy also.

Hi Afcai & girlboy_mummy,
"Village" is the kindermusik programe for Age Range - newborn to 18 months.
Then will proceed to "Our Time" for Age Range - 18 months to 3 years.
My girl is now in "Imagine That" for Age Range - 3 to 5 years.
After that will be "Young Child" Age Range - 4.5 to 7 years.
you can find ot more from here: http://www.kindermusik.com.sg/
Wow, like selling the kindermusik programe for them. Well, I don't mind if mummies who signed up new programe put my name as reference so that i can get $20 voucher to deduct for next terms. Ha.. ha ... ha...
Actually am thinking of switching my girl to Yamaha little note which is cheaper and later she can proceed to keyboard but our this area also don't have Yamaha school rite? so just hang on to Kindermusik first since my girl love it.

Hi afcai,
There are many outlets islandwide, but the outlet nearest our place is at blk 318, BB St 32. My boy will only start cc sometime in May, hence, don't know how he will react as he sticks to me like superglue. Currently, he's at home & taken care of by in law. Sending him to cc is actually for him to learn more things rather than staying at home & also to relieve my in law during daytime.
As far as I know, Apple Tree is more of a playgroup, and not childcare; it's more of a 2 hour playtime per day for kids but think they are only opened on weekdays and not weekends as far as I recall now.

Jvenus,
What kind of home-based teaching are you looking for? My colleague's 5 yr old is currently attending classes at iCreative Learner, which is home-based, and they go to the teacher's house in Ghim Moh every week. It's more of literacy classes for kindergarten childen. According to my colleague, iCreative got classes all over the place, since all are homebased.

afcai,
hahahaha. You know, everytime we clap for my girl when she does something, I will remember the scene from Xiao Hai Bu Ben 2, where they say how everything babies do are amazing to the parents, but somehow we will forget to encourage them after they grow up into schoolgoing children. Think it's true lo. But hope I will not become like that in future...

anyone interested in the Eu Yan Sang receipt? otherwise i will throw away
Susan,
Yeah, the child goes to the teacher's house for lessons. I can ask my colleague for more details if you like. They have worksheets to do to help them in their reading and writing. They are asked to read out loud and also to draw pictures to represent the passages/rhymes they read, thereby stimulating their imagination. It's very school-like, but seems quite effective. Think the programme starts from when the children are 4 years old.

oh yeah, the lesson is once per week, think one hour. But at very reasonable rates.
Oh, and each week the teacher will also give out flashcards so that parents can reinforce at home what the children were taught that week. But flashcards must return one. And the children are also given some homework.

TYPE IN a command and see what happens... sit, roll over, down, stand, sing, dance, shake, fetch, play dead etc. and... it's also very cute if you type in a command that's not recognized...!!
Make sure you type in "Kiss" too, but do it last.
Enjoy
