Hi Moms & Dads,


I'm a newbie, am currently preparing to enrol my baby gal who is now 13.5 months old for childcare placement in the Hougang vicinity for Jan 2013.

I came across the following:
1. LITTLE TREE HOUSE LLP
2. CHEERY INFANT AND CHILD CARE PTE LTD

Would really appreciate any form of feedback for the above 2 childcare centres or any other recommendations. Thanks!! :xedfingers:

My friend's 2 kids attend Cheery, feedback quite good. There are another 3 child care own by same owner, think all near hougang. Have considered this child care before but my home too far, no transport arrangement.

Anyone has any feedback on My First Skool at Blk 314A Anchorvale Link? Strange that their fees listed on MCYS are slightly higher than the other centres nearby with 1 km.

Anyone has kids at Kids Kingdom in Punggol? Appreciate any feedback, good or bad. If you prefer, you can also PM me.


Thanks.

Hi, any recommendations on the kindergartens ard this area? My girl is going nursery next yr, was thinking of withdrawing her fr her CC and enroll in a kindergarten instead…

Hi


My son is in SMART KIDS Educare at Buangkok. If you are looking for something special, you should try this Child Care Centre.

This CC is not the 'branded' one so you might not have heard of it. The person who set up the school is the one that teaches. She is very dedicated and always shows lots of enthuastism. From the first time that I call her, I can tell that she really wants to teach and have lots to offer.

Whenever i ask for feedback, I can always get specific comments on my child.

Good luck. It's not easy to find a good school.
