Hi mummies,


After reading all that posting i can understand hw it like when u r looking 4 a gd child care centre. Me myself work in a childcare centre and that y i m very fussy. I kw hw its like in the school. few of the sch that was mention earlier ( the expensive one i mean) wasnt as gd as u think like Pxx, Etxxhse, schhse xxx etc etc.

When i look around for my son tat time i almost comb all pre-sch in e east. I was like e rest of the mumies dun mind paying but wanted a centre that is clean and with staff that has passion in teaching. Hv curriculum preparing them for P1 and food that is health.

Finally i found this one. \"Tot n kids\" behind katong shopping centre. A small chilcare centre.

Nw my son is in K2 and my girl in N1. They are even giving away disc for sibling. Fees not expensive too.They belong to e middle range. $700 for fullday. The only thing that i m not too happy with is the class no is abit high. Like my girl who is in N1 there r 18 kids in her class. So for those who is looking for pre-sch can go n take a look

Hi NewM,

I have visited this sch and is considering to send my kids there next yr. Any feedback on whether ur kids r enjoying the classes and its impact on their development e.g. become more outspoken, jovial, confident, etc?? Or any comments on the teachers or principal? Comments fr other mommies with experience from this childcare r most welcomed!

Hi Pea

Yes Brighton Montessori is very reputable..... i heard it is a good school but very expensive fees

Hehe i'm not sure if my son is having a healthy childhood ...but i do know that he is enjoying his personal space He is doing a lot of \"free play \" at the moment .... but i hope he knows that one fine day he will have to just sit down & learn ...

Hi maisy.

Thanks. Unfortunately Brighton Montessori has a very long waiting list. Not sure if can get for next year. So next year not fixed, I'm on several waiting lists.

Hi Maisy,


Sorry for my late reply. My boy was sick for the past few days. Didn’t manage to log in the forum. I’m staying at Bedok near Red Swastika Pri Sch. I actually wanted to do PV for this pri sch but guess I’m too early for that. Don’t think they will accept it.

Hi Pea,

I’m still looking ard for gd kindergartens. But I think most prob I’m narrowing between Holy grace and Bethesda Katong Kindergarten. Cos my cousin and her frds’s children have studied in these schools and they are all doing very well in the primary schools. btw, heard from my frd that Soka kindergarten at Tampines is gd. She will be enrolling in that school for her girl. Maybe u can check it out too.

Hi Jerejoy
No worries. Hope your son is well by now. My son is also sick.... will be bringing him to the Paediatrician tomorrow... i believe he caught a flu (runny nose & cough).
Wah ..good to hear you say your frens' kids who studied in Bethesda Katong before are doing well in Primary sch - that assures me further that i have chosen the right school for my boy ... hahahah -kidding lah.

To each his own, of course i hope my boy will do well but nah .... i'll take things as it comes, so long as he is happy, i'll be happy

Good Luck on your preschool search...hope you'll be able to secure a place soon in the preschool of your choice

Hi Maisy,

Hope yr child has recovered already. So many of my friends' children are falling sick. It's hard on the child and on the parents too.

Hi Maisy,

Glad to hear that yr boy has recovered.

Most likely I will settle for Holy Grace but they only accept kids from 4 yr old. Need to find another preschool that accepts 3 yr old students. Will be checking Bethesda Katong if they accept 3 yr old students. Then transfer him to Holy Grace when he's 4 yrs old.

hi Jerejoy
Oh i didn't know Holy Grace doesn't accept 3yr-old... i thought most kindergartens accept 3yr olds these days into their Pre-nursery 1 and the 4 yr olds will be accepted into Pre-Nursery 2, then K1 & K2...

Yeah Holy Grace is a good kindergarten too Very strong in chinese ...
Bethesda Katong accepts 3 yr olds but i m unsure if they still have vacancy for next year. Better call up the Principal fast then ...good luck

[jerejoy]

Thanks Maisy for yr info. My boy can only enroll in the following year cos he’s only 17 months old. But I better hurry since this preschool is pretty hot.
