Yes for my DS. The school teachers says participation in MO and SO added advantage.

hi, I have friends and nephews in Qifa. From what I understand, it’s a pretty good school. Primary 1 syllabus is pretty easy to immerse students from different background. Steep learning curve for Primary 2 as they accelerate the syllabus.

I am also planning to enroll my son in next year.

Hi I just moved to West Coast Rise, is looking for the following for my 1yr old boy in West Coast/Pandan Garden/Teban Garden/Clementi/Pasir Panjang area:

1. Playgroup before he is 18mth old. Any gd playgroups in this area accepting 1yr old kids? I called Apple Tree, but they accept min 2yr old kids.

2. Childcare since he's 18mth old. I noticed there are Cherie Hearts at West Coast Rise and Moden Montessori at West Coast Creation Center. Any comments on these 2 and other recommendation? My preference, while not compulsory, is non-full-airconditioning with outdoor facilities/yard for my kid to play and communicate with peers.

Hi zhizunbao, i stay along west coast rise too. My boy is 19months old now, i have been scouting around for childcare. Cherie Hearts West Coast is a bit rundown, but the teachers and principal look friendly and caring. I dont think it is airconditioned but i heard bad reviews about the place so it isnt my first choice if possible.

MMI at West Coast is also fairly rundown, though it has a big outdoor area.

If you prefer newer environment, check out Learning Vision at Alpha or IBP. But it's air-conditioned.
