[Bukit Batok/Chua Chu Kang/Yew Tee] Preschools

Tri-mum:

Hi Dilshamum,

Í couldn't remember the exact fee as it was abt 3 years ago. I think it was approx $700 plus for 3 days/week for 1 1/2hr sessions for Nursery and $1000 plus for 5 days week. I put my girl there because it was convenient for my mother to fetch her to/fm school. For the price I paid, I don't think they are very academic but also maybe my girl is still too young (2 1/2 yrs old) at that time. However, I can see obvious improvement in her language and social skills after I switched her to CCK Bible Centre Kindergarten (3hrs including one meal). I've not heard of Gracefield but you can bring your girl there and see whether she likes the school environment. You can also check out Hope Community Kindergarten at Sunshine Place (CCK), I've heard good review about this school too.

Hi Tri-mum,
I am looking for a Pre-N for my girl. I realise in Yew Tee area, not much of Pre-N classes. CCK Bible Centre only starts from Nursery, I have been trying to call Gracefields but no one pick up. Hope community is a bit out of the way unless they have school bus transportation.

Hi Dilshamum,

Yes, not much choices for Pre-N around Yew Tee. I’m not sure which part of Yew Tee you’re staying. You can also consider Apple Tree near to the Mobil petrol station, I believe they do have Pre-N classes if you think Tulip is too x . There is another childcare centre (Elfa something) at Blk 689. Gracefield probably follow the national school holidays scheme like my girl school and that’s why nobody is answering the phone call. Hope Community do have transport service but if it is abit out of the way then forget it afterall your child is still so young to travel "long distance"…Good Luck to you.

My daughter goes there but I don't know the fees for N1 (3yo). Sorry.

Personally, I find it affordable and value for money and I live in a flat with no maid and no car and both me and my husband need to work.

Maybe it'll be more helpful if you specify a range that you'd consider affordable. Oh, and whether you qualify for the childcare subsidies, 'cause that would make it even more affordable.

Any parents has experience with Canossian Convent Kindergarten located at Bukit Batok area, Jalan Merbok?

Heyya all…


I’m all for Tulip Montessori, if its within the affordable range
for you. The place is so tidy and offers extensive teaching
materials from Nienhaus. They also pay very close attention
to cleanliness. Small teacher:student ratio will benefit the
fussiest parents. Hahahaaaa!

The CCK Tumble Tots near swimming pool has Pre-N too
if i remember correctly. Offers flexi days. Even if you opt
for per term of 10 weeks lessons (daily program)…
i think below $700 only. Lurve the cute cheerleader girl’s
skirt uniform! Pheeewit! Heheeee…

Offers Mandarin. Music & Movement.
Gym Play. M<textarea>Heyya all…

The old teachers may have left.
Good to go visit and assess yourself.
Followed with a trial class for a small fee.

Hope this helps.
Cheerios.
