Carpe Diem

anyone sent their kids to carpe diem @ alexander?


The school is quite run down but i like it that they have animal farms. Not sure about the teachers’ quality/ TLC etc. Any feedback?

My son is enrolled in CD at Punggol 21 since Aug08 when he was in N1. He is now in N2 and will progress K1 next year. So far, we are quite pleased with the school. We enrolled him for a half day program as we have a maid at home.


Teachers are friendly and yes, there are lots of outdoor activities. Environment is good as you can see the sea. Occassionally, the teachers will let them do their drawing outside of the classroom.

Although there are many CD centres in Singapore, only 2 centres, namely JJK and Punggol 21 are still owned by the founder of CD. The rest are franchise and they will also follow the structured programmes offered by CD.

The plus point of this place is the outdoor environment as it is very close to nature. And no issue with mosquitoes.

Hi insider,


i actually paid for the full month as i officially enroll him to the centre.

However, after attending the sch for 2 days, my son doesn’t want to go anymore. i try to coax him to school every subsequent day.

My son will come back and tell us that he doesn’t want to go sch everyday. to the point that he want to stay at the granny’s place, refuse to follow us back home. then i realise that he really doesn’t want to go sch. No choice! i’ve to withdraw him from sch. i do not wish to force him resulting in having phobia in going to sch.

However, i put him on trial at Cherie hearts near to my workpl. He cried too when i bring him there. But he’s is adapting well from day 2 onwards. He look forward to going to Cherie Hearts.

As for the payment, CD have yet to confirm with me on the refund. The PIC says he will only be able to revert to me in Jan 10. So, i have to wait …

my boy is in CD Punggol end. There for the last 2 years. We had actually "shopped" for a childcare from start of Punggol rd to end. And ended up with this one right at the end of the road.


enrolled at this centre for the amount of open space - a dream really for us stuck in high rise buildings and next to the sea and of course price. There was no queue really couple of years back. Now I heard is full. Flip side is the transportation. Not cheap for the short distance from Sengkang to Punggol.

as we believe that children should enjoy their childhoods. our emphasis/criteria for selection of childcare are different from some of those posted in this thread. so far, quite happy - both parents and child.
