Hi mummies,
I've 2 boys, one 21 mths old and the other 2 mths old. We are staying at Tampines st 44. Im excited to find that there's a tampines mummy club and would love to join this group.
At the same time I'm also keen to look for playmates around the area for my elder boy. I will become a sahm (not exactly though as i will be doing my freelance from time to time) to care for both of my boys with the help of my maid from feb 2011 onwards.

Hi AC (vulnerable)
Thank you for the feedback.
Thank you for the feedback.
Hi sunbeary,
I totally understand what you mean when it comes to Agape.
My boy is there and I'm also very unhappy with the teachers turnover rate.
Just like you, when my boy was sick for 4 days, no teacher call at all to check on the reason for his absentism.
I'm thinking of changing school for him. Now considering the one that AC mentioned.
Myfirstskool which is by NTUC at Blk 803. My PIL went to check out the place and they said it is very new.
The school fee is also very reasonable. In fact, much cheaper than Agape.
I'm going to check out this week or next week and make a decision.

Arisz & little black,
Hi hi..
I'm going to enrol my boy to Sparkle tots in 2012 which is just below my block. Their vacancy taken up quite fast.
For a start, we are bringing him to GUG at suntec city outlet. Not cheap. $170++ for 1.5hr lesson a week. Just wanna let him have a feel first before we enrol him full time to school .

hello mummies,
Didn't realised that this thread is suddenly alive!
Arisz - - let me know your thoughts on myfirstskool! I just called earlier - - kind of piss me off.... they've moved all calls to headquarter. So the lady I spoke with, couldn't speak proper English, and I just wanted to ask some questions.. but she asked me to go online and submit registration form so that the center can answer my questions! Didn't leave me a good impression..

<font color="0000ff">Hihi,
Wanted to share a little bt Carpe Diem. Started my boy in Carpe Diem in Dec 2010 and so far our experience with them is pretty pleasant.. The tc are very warm and helpful.
My boy usually arrive sch at 8.30am & there was once since we were at home, decided to send him later. The tc took the extra effort to call me at 9.30am not seeing him in sch & asked if he is okie...
Also, my boy has very bad ezcema & when the tc knew bt it. The Centre Director even called me to just to check what can be done for him or ways to relieve his itch.. We tot without aircon, his skin will b worsen but so far, it's still okie. These are small stuffs which really touch us. Hope these good stuffs will still continue...
Hope this helps! </font>

Hello mummies!
I'll no longer be a SAHM come April. Going to miss being one though.
Anyway, I've noticed that almost all of the questions posted here concern our kids. What about us as women? Do you do anything for yourselves? My "me" time is spent at the gym for about an hour a day.
I also find myself neglecting my husband's needs. What do you do to keep the romance going?

hi eenie, welcome here!!! once awhile, the mummies arrange gatherings..
AC and arisz, I applied through WDA website on a whim. Apparently, the childcare industry is on a hiring spree. With WDA sponsorship, even non-experienced applicant are hired and sent for training to become a teacher!
I've been hired by Sparkletots. They sent me for a 15-mth fully sponsored course to become a teacher. While studying, I also get paid a salary. 3 day of school, 2 days at the centre. Not bad eh?
So if anyone's interested, just check out PCF Sparkletots and NTUC's My First Campus websites. These are the centres which are actively hiring right now.

Yumi, can't say for all pre-school teachers and I don't know the kindergarten you mentioned. Teachers in all levels are overstretched. So I guess the teachers in that kindergarten were stressed out with registration and curriculum planning and that's why they gave you that impression. I don't know. Not defending them or anything. Nevertheless, I agree with you that they could have treated you better. It's all about professionalism. Perhaps you can feedback to the principal. I would.

Hi Tampines mummies,
I'm staying in St 41 with 2 kids, 1 girl (2006) & 1 boy (2009)
Going thru P1 registration soon, and having headache now coz dunno which sch to chose.

Hope someone can advise me... thks

Hi mummies,
I am at blk 156 tampines st 12. This is directly opposite tampines mall starbucks. I have a boy who is turning 17 months soon. I have enrolled him into creative twinkles playgroup at blk 354. Any mummies have any feedback on this school? I personally like the place very much. Clean, spacious and well-ventilated. Teachers and principal seems nice too. Most importantly, my son doesn't reject it. He was playing happily when we were there. He will be starting after the Sep school hols at around 19 months.
