[Ang Mo Kio/Bishan/Thomson/Toa Payoh] Preschools

[Skyea82]

Hi all, I'll be moving to AMK/YCK and am sourcing for a new school for my boy for K1 next year. I'm looking for a school with a good curriculum but yet allows the child to have fun while learning at the same time. Also I'm interested to know if the school prepares the child well for P1.


I have visited most of the schools in the following list but I'm still undecided. So I would really appreciate it if parents with kids in these schools would provide some feedback. Thanks in advance!

P/S: If any parent would like to find out about my observations/thoughts of any of the schools (I've also visited Discovery Garden and Carpe Diem @ Hilltop), feel free to ask!

1) Nobleland Arts & Learning (Thomson)
2) LicDo Schoolhouse
3) Creative Inventors
4) Discovery Garden (Cactus)
5) Brain Buttons Kindergarten
6) Kinderland Preschool (Yio Chu Kang)
7) Bethesda Kindergarten (AMK)

Hi Skyea82,

Please check out Chatsworth International Kindergarten @ Picadilly Circus (off Jalan Kayu exit via expressway). It fulfills your requirement. They organize many interesting activities for the kids and teachers are not afraid of the kids making a mess through sensorial play etc. The kindergarten is using an old colonial bungalow house with a large outdoor area / garden and carpark.

I have also somewhat checked out all those you have listed and am glad to have found Chatsworth through my neighbours' recommendation. Let me know what you think after your visit!

Cheers,
Desertwind

Hi skyea82,

You can consider MindChamps Preschool at Bishan. It is located at Midview city. I've sent my child there and he's doing well. Very happy with the school, the teachers and the environment. Do take a look.

Hi DesertWind and msscarlet, thanks a lot for your recommendations! Will check out the schools.

Hi all,

I have another suggestion, please check out the new childcare centre "Carpe Diem @ ITE" in Ang Mo Kio ! At the brand new ITE campus and only commenced Jan2013. However, vacancies for the younger classes are already very full. I like the huge premises and the convenience of parking and the safety. Furthermore, very reasonable school fees even before subsidy.

Check it out fast if you are interested!

Hi Willyan,


If you do not mind taking school bus, you can consider Brainy Kids Schoolhouse at Braddell. They do provide school bus service.
My son there and so far I like their teaching methods.

Hi,


Anybody can share whether is there any preschools that cater to weekend parent accompanied program for 2 years old? I’m actually looking for 1 but it seems like not many offering this program? My girl is a bit shy & I wanted to start her off with some exposure before her N1 next year. Anybody can share? Thanks!
