[Isabelle Cheng]

Hi kstwinkle ,


I am new in this forum. I am looking for childcare at buangkok area. May I know where is the location of Smart Kids Educare.

Have you hear of Global kids, currently they have a new branch at Serangoon. Any comment?

Hi North_Mummy


I am curious about your survey Q7 - "Would you be keen in enrolling your kid to a Montessori Childcare or a Main Stream childcare?"

1.Montessori
2.Main stream (Learning Vision/Cherie Hearts etc)
3. No preference

Any idea why Montessori considered less main stream?

i am moving to sengkang, can i have feedback on summer kids and top kidz child care pls ? thank you so much

[eeyorex]

any review for Genius School House in Punggol (Blk 637D)? My daughter will be turning 18months next Feb, and currently looking for childcare for her.

She is at PCF Sparkletots (AMK) infant care now. We do have priority to "promote" to the childcare once she turn 18months. But we have moved to Punggol and would like to place her in Punggol childcare instead of travelling to AMK again.

Thanks.

If anyone thinking of Kidz Plahouz at Punggol please DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR CHILD'S FUTURE. It's a very bad school and I had a very bad experience as my son was tortured by the school teacher. I am already doing what is required as per the law and am waiting for a final decision. Please dont select this school there are better schools out there.

:scared: Well, I need to put myself in the alert mode now since I am going to enrol my boy to childcare soon. Along I thought this is a good one I have shortlisted these few
1. Eduventure Childcare
2. EShkol valley
3. Faith Educare Blk 107D
4. Faith Educare Blk 275A near buangkok mrt station

Any comments. Thanks in advance

I just signed my son up for Eshkol valley last week. It was quite a last min decision as I just got pregnant & worried my mum cant cope with 2 kids later on. Most childcares are full when i called to enquire.


Didnt see much reviews on this childcare since it's still v new.. Anyone care to share? Find it abit expensive at $680 per mth after subsidy. I have the intention to put my 2nd child in childcare once he hit 18 months. Any cheap one to recommend?
