Dear All...

I am leaving around hougang (near to hougang mall)and is urgently looking for a preschool for my gal who is turning 2 next yr Feb. Does anyone has good recommendations?

Currently my gal is attending enrichment classes at GUG, would love to let her continue there but travelling is abit too far for her.

Recently i visited Pat's @ Lim Ah Pin, anyone have comments/experience with them? I tried to go through the threads but I cant locate any comments on them (most of the comments is meant for other locations).

I saw a few good comments on Faith, can someone pls share with me on their website?

Many Thanks
Kaisu Mummy

Hi casey29


My gal is attending the classes at Novena twice a week. She is under the Babes class though is meant for babies till 18mths but is fine to park her there cos it is her 1st time attending lesson.

Teachers over there are friendly and nice. My gal loves to go there for lessons. If is not for the distance, I will just let her continue her preschool over there…

In terms of language, now she is able to do the zoo-phonics in less than 2mths…

Hi Mom2boys,


Can i chk with you if there are any cases of HFMD in Poh huat crescent since you have enrolled yr son there?? I was told only one case so far....is it true?? I saw the timetable schedule and was a bit uncomfortable that after 5pm, it is TV time or free time until the parents pick them up.....so wonder if this applies to other CCC??

hi,

sorry for the late response. Was real busy with work and my work place set firewall for this website :x
there are some minor cases of HFMD in poh huat crescent last yr..think about twice..my son got it from his classmates..but the school did inform the parents in advance on the cases that happen in school..so far this year, din heard of any...
As for the TV time, that the usual practise for CC cos there will be pick up starting from that time for my CC..
What i like so far is the low turnover rate in the CC..my child has sticked with the same teacher for the past 1yr plus..so the closeness is there...

Hi mom2boys,

Thanks alot...this gives me better impression of the school should i decide to place my son next year there....

I went for both poh huat and st xaviers ones but seems like my son prefers the poh huat...mainly becos of the playground outside and they have the little tikes cars....hahhaha....

May i ask if there is any problems encountered since the kids sleep in the aircon rooms?? I have heard feedbacks that do not let kids go to cc with aircon as the air circulation would be bad and kids wld be more prone to get sick......can u share your thoughts??

Btw, have u heard of carpe diem mi schoolhouse at hougang ave 9??

same...my elder son chose poh huat bcos of the playground..they r currently re-furnish the playground area..the CC only on the aircon during nap time..most prob to restrict the children in their room and easier to nap cos more quite..the rest of the time, they are in open area...so i find it acceptable..my younger joined when he's 19mth old..so far he has been adapting well. prone to sickness sometimes after experenice realised that mostly depends on individuals..if the kid is more trained to be hygenie, the chances of falling sick is lesser..

the other good pt is that the ratio of children is quite good..each level only one class so not crowded...

Hi mom2boys,

Tks so much for your help....btw, did u put yr child in the full day when u enrol your son?? Did u stay with them for whole day in the initial period??

I will probably put my son there next year...
