Emmie,
yes.. registration for most pre-schs and childcare centres starts in May/June. How old is ur boy?
In Fernvale, there is PCF at Blk 430+ but they only admit 4yo and above, moriah sch house at blk 409+ (which is a chilcare centre but as u know all childcare centres provides pre-sch education), smartie cottage at blk 404+ (this childcare is not recommended based on reviews), appletree playgroup at the RC under blk 412+ (which admits 3yo based on ur of birth), kindertots at Fernvale Point (which admits only 18m to 3yo) and Chatsworth Kindy (but I heard that they r moving out of Jln Kayu end of this yr.. dunno how true though).
Registration for Appletree starts in June or u can register online at
www.appletree.com.sg.
My boy attended this appletree for 2 weeks and i pulled him out.. reason mainly becoz the teacher was inexperienced and i feel that she could not handle the class well. But fr wat i hear fr other mummies, appletree changes teacher quite often.. so i'm sure if it will still be the same teacher next yr. It's Teacher Aida when my boy attended.
my boy is attending Kindertots (
http://www.kindertots.blogspot.com/)currently.. and he's very happy there coz the class is quite unstructured which suits him.. but like Carmen earlier pointed out in previous posts.. hygiene standard at Kindertots is not ideal. My boy is joining Cannan Kindergarten (
http://canaankinder.blogspot.com/) fr Jul 1st... used to be a kindergarten.. but changing to a childcare centre fr Jul 1st onwards.
Along Yio Chu Kang Rd and within Seletar Estate, there are quite a no. of preschs and childcare centres.
U can do a search of all the childcare centres in our area at:
