sheryl:

have visited The Pre-schooler & me up with Ms Lee. She told me that there is no cases of HFM last year.


Still sourcing for a childcare around the area. Any recommendation is appreciated

I tell you, sometimes childcare are so \"secretive\" about HFMD cases. They are not open to parents which make me :x

I received notices now and then from Ms. Lee with regards to the cases and what are the measurements they are taking to prevent the spreading. Of course, as a parent we are worried and we'll asked question after question trying to find out more from the students, the principal and the form teacher. Am not sure why they are so reluctant to tell the truth to the parent and they should be aware that we parents exchange info!

I'm :!: to know that the principal denied it rather than admit and explain to the parent on the precaution they takes to counter the disease...

kind of disappointed to hear this.

The pre-schooler is definitely out of my shortlist for dishonesty. It is important for school to be open to parents. It is not that we will penalise them for HFM but we should know about it. Parents also have the responsibility not to bring their kids to school if they are having fever or suspected HFM. School also has to play a part by maintaining high level of hygiene.


I’m also very disappointed. Need to look around for other CC.

Can you let me know the name of the CC at Philip Ave? Have you heard of Rosth Child Care at Grace Park?

Schoolhouse by the garden.


There's another one \"treasure box\" at parry ave.

You can check the listing here at KSP for all the preschool according to the address. I'm not sure how to link you up for that listing through.

Is always a pro & con for a cc. Is all depend on what we parents want for our children.

Good luck in searching.. :xedfingers:

You may want to consider Dayspring. One thing good is that they have enrichment classes in the afternoon and we can use baby bonus to pay.

Mummy of 3,

Hi lifestylink,

Yes, my boy is in K1 now. So far my boy has been enjoying going to school everyday. You may want to call up the school to check on their timing.

hi aussieblues,


Cambridge at hougang has 2 centres, one at st xavier lane, the other at poh huat crescent. Both centres are managed under the same principle. My child is at poh huat crescent. I'm not very sure about st xavier one but so far, i'm quite happy with the centre there with minimal turn over for teachers.

Hi mom2boys
Thinking of sending my boy to Poh Huat Crescent.
Can give more comments about the place & teachers?
