Hi mummies,
Sorry for this late reply. My girl has been in Moriah's infantcare since she was 4 mths. She then transitioned to the childcare recently. The teachers are rather responsible. My daughter is rather independent now and can self feed and change on her own. The principal and teachers are v nice. |

Just delivered my 3rd child n b4 going bk to work, decide to place all my 3 children in moriah childcare; previously, my 2 older kids are in kindergarten. I was rather uncertain of my decision to put my children in ccc initially but decide to try it out during the June holiday... My observation for the past 3 weeks in moriah cc is ;
1) the place is kept v. Clean, this ccc engage 2 cleaners from iss who station there just to keep the place Spick n span
2) well- ventilated/ non air-con environment , high ceiling
3) responsible teacher- the teacher spotted that the spray I bring to school is expired, I never even notice the fine prints when I pack into my child's bag! Another example is They inform me immediately when my child did not eat the buns for tea |

4) the teacher-student ratio seems to be high but the teachers can handle the children well
5) principal was very much involve in the day-to-day operation of the ccc
6) the fees is rather affordable, seems to me they r a non- profitable organization
7) food is prepared by in- house cook, food look well- balance
My main concern is still the teacher- student ratio, especially for nursery level. My no.2 still protest going to ccc every morning, but my elder one looks like he have a good time in school. I'm still observing for this trial period, but overall I would say I feel quite satisfy with the ccc. |

Hi,
my boy name is in middle of the list, with hand written words. 
Find the children in the N1 class -Grace... very friendly n sharing however, till now my no.2 still crys when we drop him off at school though he settle down very quickly once i leave (outta his sight). Does ur boy enjoy school for the past 1 yr? how u find moriah cc fare in terms of academic?
In contrast my older child who is in K1 enjoys his time in moriah cc very muchn look forward to going to school.
How old is ur no.2? mine is 2.5months... |

Hi,
oh..i dun know grace (as in not fm the PG gp to N1 gp). I only know a few of his friends My boy is Samuel (carrying barney bag). He is the naughty one in class (according to Teacher angeline, he is more 'active' compared to other N1 kids, sigh!). He still 'mummy mummy' everyday, esp if the teachers are not the door to bring him in during breakfast time. So far, quite happy with the sch. Will learn more from the teacher during this sat PTC.
my #2 just turned 8mths old last week. Hmm..so wouldnt be classmate with your #3 liao. |

my boy name is Dylan... ru SAHM?
I like the spaciousness of Moriah cc, n it is kept so well ventilated by so many ceiling fans, in fact my boy who have sensitive nose... is keeping a drier nose at moriah ... compared to his previous school. ... non of my 3 kids have fall sick during their 1 month stay in moriah !! (touch wood!)
However I still feel that the teacher student ratio can be improved...a couple of times i find the N1 class is only manned by either chen lao shi or Teacher Angeline... usually there will be more teachers at PG grp.
Come next yr sept my no.3 will be in PG group, i believe ur girl will still be in PG grp then... so ur no.2 n my no.3 can still be classmates... who knows mayb in class Samuel n Dylan is good friend now?! I ask my no.2 about Samuel n he seems to know... |

nope, FTWM. I choose moriah cc cos its next to my hme n its non-aircon..so my boy dun fall sick easily. So far, he hardly miss sch
Yes, the N1 class is expanding..there are now 21 students in the class. Form teacher is Teacher Angeline n chinese teacher is chen lao shi. But other teachers will come over n help if needed..esp the PG teachers cos they r next door only Mrs Lim is always on the ground too.
Haha...hope ur boy don't get bullied by Samuel. Yesterday one boy went to complain to the BBsitter that Samuel hit him when she went to fetch him in the evenings :P *so embarassing* |

Hi there,
I saw ur boy in class just now... quite meaty.. heehee. if i don't remember wrongly ur boy is seated just next to my boy in the class... when my boy just joined, it is ur boy who automatically come up n make friend with him, find that ur boy is one of the more sociable boy in class. that's y i remember him well. the 1st week my boy join the class, it is ur boy who will come up to my boy n give him a pat on the back when he cries to console him...n ur boy look on with concern eyes when my boy was crying to go home i appreciate that. |

Hi,
U sure the boy u saw was samuel? Hahaa..I'm surprised :P. But I know he is quite sociable cos he will wave to his friends n tell me who is coming (during the morning when Tr Violet is checking on them).
He is the bah bah type with the 'china boy' hairdo, hahaa
Hope your boy will gel in the class soon. |

Hi Stacy n Meira,
Care to share more about Moriah Childcare n Developement?
1)Does your child enjoy the school?
2)Is the Teacher commited n passionate?
3)How about the Academic aspect? Does your children learn much in school, any enrichment session?
4)How about chinese? is it a effectively bilingual school?
Im thinking about enroling my child there but it is about 15 min drive from my place, but if it is good then will be worth it.
Thanks! |

meria - glad our boys r gd friends in sch.. It so sweet to hear what you are sharing with me about Sam Tks, Tks! This Sat is the PTC, I hope to find out fm Tr Angeline more about his progress in sch. I suppose you wouldnt be going rite as your kids just joined a mth ago.
Rosbelle - my son joined MCCDC since last yr Mar when he was 18mths old. He enjoyed going to sch n liked the teachers n friends there. I like the teachers there cos there is always communication between the teachers and parents. So far, no enrichment session for his N1, but I'll ask the teacher about it during the PTC this Sat. We usually converse with him in Mandrain at home. In sch, they speak to the kids in both English and Mandrain. |

Rosa el!
My K1 boy enjoy school but my N 1 boy is still adapting to the full day routine in ccc. Find the teachers rather responsible.
My k1 boys is learning phonics n word sound n I'm happy he can remember wat he learnt in school n can share all the stuff with me, for Chinese they r using the wisdom system, sort of like flash card, heard this is the same system used in primary school. For maths my k1 boy is r doing addition n counting now. No enrichment program in this school except dancing .. |
