thanks hnghng for the info!


how old are your sons? how long have they been attending the school?

[hnghng]

My 1st boy next yrs will be P1. I send him to cc there when he only 22 mths old, bcau i give birth my 2nd boy :lol:

And 2nd boy at the cc when he 23 mths old. Next yrs will be K1.

That’s great age difference… just nice.


My boy is turning 24 mths in 2 weeks time, and still a little shy with strangers. Staying home with grandma doesn’t improve his language much too. He is only speaking in two words now, can’t form sentences yet. Would like to find a warm, conducive environment that he can start off with half day, and also to let grandma have some rest time (he is super active baby at home).

Is Pebble non-aircon classrooms? How’s the chinese language in school? does it do more play-based activities, and balance academic studies as well? Liked your comment about the teachers being responsible. I think teachers play a GREAT part, especially at young age of 2, really need teachers who are committed and loving.

hi Dee,


Not sure if you want to consider Yuquan school. They have preschool for kids. My son is attending holiday class there - find the staff quite friendly, and the preschool environment nice and cosy.

Understood from a friend whose kids at the yq childcare that her kids chinese improved greatly since being there - cos there is strong emphasis on chinese (50% Eng/CH);

It’s at Guillemard Road, at the old Singapore badminton hall. The offside is that there is a spa there - but honestly, the school is a bit far away from the spa.
