Hi eniale,
As for nice food, all the same as normal coffee shop. But there are a few tuition centre here, Just Education, Whizzle land, Nisshin Tuition, Xue Ni Language Centre. There is also a CDAC centre just opposite the MRT station. And also every saturday, near the sheng siong supermarket there is a couple selling stationery, bags, toy, pokemon cards, rain coats... is cheaper then those selling in the shop. There is NTUC, This Fashion, 7 eleven at the MRT station. Opposition the MRT station there are more shop and coffee shop. What else you need to know ? |

Hi morning ladies,
Gemini
Is your boy attending lesson/tuition at Just Education? I heard that the teachers there are all NIE trained teachers. Is the centre good? Am thinking of sending my boy there for tuition.
PebbleS
I'm staying at Blk 518. Yr Blk is near Vista Point rite?
eniale
Now my boy in K2 only, i oredi stressed. Afraid to think when he's in P1. There are 4 sch near me - Woodgrove Pri, Innova Pri, Woodland Pri, and Woodlands Ring Pri. The nearest is Woodgrove Pri. This is a gd and popular sch. But chances of getting in is slim as I'm under Phase 2C (where no sibiling studying in sch, parent not staff member etc..). And for past 2 years, balloting is required even for proximity within 1 km from home.
Me also a FTWM. Am considering of becoming a SAHM next yr when my boy goes P1 cos my boy is one who needs a lot of guidance and coaxing.
Gemini & PebbleS, are you both FTWM or SAHM? |

Hi Linda, I'm a FTWM. My son is attending English tuition at Just Education. What I know the teacher is ex-school teacher. I have seen their assessment paper their standard is higher than the school. Hi which school are you choosing for your son. My son was in woodlands primary but recently i just change school for him , now he is in fuchun. Woodgrove Pri is very popular and their standard is getting better. |

Hi Linda, yes i just tranfer my son out from woodlands. Firstly the distance is far, secondly the school don't have any CA1, SA1 and CA2 examin. So the children are more relaxing. If they don't have any examin only class test, is difficult to judge their performance. When i withdrawn my son from the school and join another school. He told me that they have already finish all the topics and now revising for their examin. And also they have more homework and journal to write. In the ex-school he seldom has any homework and also no journal, so i found that he is very weak in composition writting. What i found out from other mother from other school. They start to write journal in primary one so their composition writting is ok. My son just finished his SA1 examin and his composition is only 4/10. And i check with other mother their child composition can be 9/10-8/10 and their result mostly 90 and above for my son only 77. So better to find out more information about the school before choosing the school. |

Yup, i am staying at those brown hdb blocks opp vista point kitchen! You are styaing very near to my sis's place 51X.
I am a sahm, also teaching at my own place for about 8 hours per week to keep my sanity and challenge my brain. also I can have reasons to leave my gal at my mil's place at BP and go shop shop in town at times. Hehe.
There is nothing wrong with WDL primary school ( a lot of my students were from there last time.) Just that having good teachers in the class is imperative. Not all the teachers will mark the errors in the journal, I know most do not cos they do not have the time to go through 30's journals. But at least it gives e child a reason to write, whether right or wrong. The teachers in most schools normally do not give compositions often seriously. You can only score with flying colours with "own ability" or parents'/ enrichment's guidance. Just to share
Woodgrove Pri is the "sought after" school in woodlands. Some of my students are from there. I am lucky to have 2 schools which are so near to me, one beside ( Innova) and one behind (Woodgrove).
Gemini
I used to conduct tuition classes at my previous house 17X too for about 50 students. Now old already, so betta shake legs more before all my blood is vomitted. Another few more years I will have to coach my gal in her pri sch syllabus. Cold chill runs down my spine just with the thought of it.
My neighbour's gal is from WDL and she is writing her journal in P1 and P2. Need to pray hard to have a good teacher in the class. Nowadays if you want to score, compo especially, definately need someone to coach unless you are born with a high level of intelligence. hehe. Not easy for parents really.
Eniale
Oh yes the scrub is thumb-up! At least i dun have to spend more money for extra treatments in my pedicure sessions keke.
Not easy to care for 2 kids by yourself right? do you have someone to help you out? I will probably go berserk if i have to take care of 2. |

Morning PebbleS like what you said pray hard to have a good teacher. Because in pri 1 and pri 2 no split classes they will have the same teacher. Now I'm looking for creative writing classes for my son. I know my standard I can't teach him how to write. Yes not easy being a parent.
I change school not because the school is not good. The main problem is distance. Teacher complaint he look tire and sleepy during lesson. Pri 2 morning session he has to leave the house at 6.25am to take school bus but school only start at 7.20am. After changing school we leave the house at 7.05am so now he can has more sleep. |

My neighbour's child is P2 from WDL too. She did not switch her over to Innova this year which is just beside our block, where a few did. She also mentioned the school bus is so early so i really take my hat off to see her walking her gal to and from from school daily. Quite far from vista point ley. My 30 over-year-old legs will prolly drop halfway....keke. Yes I am lazy.
Distance is the first priority for me too. That's why I hope to get into Innova ( if i decided to stop homeschooling her till P1) so that my gal will not be tired out and i can run home to sleep after that.
Eniale
Ha, my brain can only function when i am in the class. Old already, i am off mode most of the time.
Why do you put MArsiling mummies for the heading ah? haha, i thought you stay at the old marsiling ley. Ya area is considered woodlands too, just that the mrt station is confusing hoh?
Lucky lucky you to have a mum taking care, somemore staying with you.
Hee, my group phonics class is full this year cos i only accept max 6 students. Dun wish to teach more than 8 hours per week ( limits of my sanity ) Hmm, next year hope to gather a class so that my gal can join in when i conduct.
Is ya gal attending any lesson now? I just enrolled my gal for a mother and child programme ( once a week) at the MMI centre opp my place! BEsides that she is still attending homebased shichida class once w week. I kiasee, must find a programme where i can haunt her everywhere! ) |

Morning mummies, you mummies are early birds! I normally wake up about 9 plus with my gal. Going to bring my gal out for a playgroup organised by a few mummies at about 4pm so waked her at 8 plus so that she can take her nap earlier.
Linda
Hey I am there in the morning at 10.30am. The one I am attending is a playgroup for 18 - 30mths, but with one parent to participate together. Just like those mother and child's programmes at GUG, chichida and JG. Fees a bit more ex compared to the programmes without parents accompanied.
Is the math mmi good? Slowly start to load ya child with assessment books now. If a child has confidence doing the questions, then they will start to do independently really.
Dare not put too many comments about schools, later my account gets terminated here. Sometimes we can just pray to be allocated good teachers in the class.
Eniale
You must have had a whale of a time in tokyo! $40 per hour for the homebased shichida. The teacher is great too. Just that i am too lazy to travel to Bishan on cab once a week.
I am teaching my gal piano myself. Used to teach piano too hehe. Put her on waiting list for the baby suzuki violin at mandeville. Then again, hb commented that he is afraid my gal will have a funny head posture if we drill her to practise every day.
People always ask me the same question about marsiling mrt and woodlands too. The real marsiling is very very ulu cos all the old flats are there.
Think the woodlands thread not very active. You go start the thread that i say hi to you again? haha.
We have some activities on the 2006 sahm's thread. Join us? Hee, we can go together ya? I am looking forward to go the Fairy tale stories at Forum next week. Any mummies want to go? |

Anyone knows of any centres that conducts Chinese lessons (some where in our area) for infants below 18mths? I want my girl to have a feel of the language, so that it will not become a 'phobia' for her. |

Hi hi Mummies,
i am staying near Admiralty MRT station too, opp to Admiralty Pri sch..
i have 2 princesses. elder 3 and younger 1. Elder one is in child care and has been taking chinese lessons at Berries (Woodlands Community Club) since Jan this year.
Yes, Admiralty is a good place.. can get almost anything here.. at worse, take a feeder bus or drive over to CWP lor :-)
Wendy, you can check out berries if you are keen just that 18mths may be abit too young at the moment.. Think they only take in at N1 stage for berries.
cheers |

hi mummies,
this thread has been inactive for a while....
Hi celeste
i used to stay opp Admiralty MRT, but shifted to Wlds ring rd = i think 6 or 7 yrs ago. Have been staying in Woodlands for the past 10 over years. Used to be a quiet place. Now, so crowded.
Regarding the Chinese lesson, hv checked and called up a few places. So strange that they do not take in babies as young as 12mths old. Don't they know that the first 2 - 3 yrs is the most crucial years for them to pick up languages. I am also searching for Chinese flashcards, but to no avail as i want those with han yu pin yin + Chinese character + pics. So hard to find lor. |

I hv also 'migrated' to 'Woodlands mummies' thread. It will be good if all mummies in Marsiling & Woodlands can get together.
The more the merrier!!!!!!! |

Hi, I was staying in Woodlands.. Moved to Sembawang 2 years back. But my girl still with my mom in Marsiling Drive. I've a 17 month old girl and preggy with No 2.
Anyone have any idea if Marsiling has any playgroup or enrichment classes suitable for 18 months onwards? Convenient for my mom to bring her... |

apart from it,i will still choose this ccc for my 27mth girl |

Hi Piglet, which blk are you staying at? I'm staying at blk 13X so to go over at blk 23 is a bit far for me leh.. I did visit the centre once they got infant care there too..
Which other centre or playgroup hv u visited so far ard marsiling?
I went to blk 171 YMCA and saw the incharge is actually the person I spoke to when I went to blk 23.. she is pregnant so I can recognise her.. she say she was helping out at blk 23 dat time.. I quite like YMCA but is a bit far for me also to cross over the hills.. sigh... |

hi precious,i'm staying at blk 21X marsiling crescent.i went to one ccc located in woodlands ring road,the enviroment is good,although too far for me.
heard from my sis that their fees after subsidy only 85 bucks,so go down & take a look lor..
i ver fussy & troublesome wan,look for ccc,ask alot of question like their daily menu lah,teacher's qualification lah,the ratio of teacher & kids lah.. |

My 28-mth son was with Star Tots at Blk 8 from Sep-Nov 09 and find it quite good. He's more independant and socialable afetr attending 2 mths there. Class is from 9.30 - 11.30 and I would say he enjoys his time there =)
Currently registered for the same session but heard that they dun haf enuf students yet to start the class. sigh. |

Hi Jayc (jeroymummy),
Just saw this thread. I put my son there too end of 2010 n the teachers there are very very fierce!!!! My son say teacher beat him. I withdrew liao, principle is a nice lady but the teachers are not good. I pass by there quite often n hear them scolding the kids a lot!! My son even after more than a year refuse to go near the school n if he sees the teachers at the playground he'll hide at the staircase at the block beside the playground. There was once he wet himself after seeing the teacher at the playground. He is already toilet train for a yr liao. That is how fearful he is of the teachers there. I am still upset to see him so fearful after a yr. |

Hi marsiling mummies .... Just to share, my only 30mth bub went to Smiling Star playgroup blk 123 Marsiling Rise.. its not bad afterall. She looks forward to skool every single day. 
Every week she will bring back her weekly sheets.. colourings and drawings she dis at skool. Its a 2hr session.. the teachers are abit matured,but i guess its not a problem to me. 2 teachers in the class.
Currentli onli 4 or 5 students... Hope theres more students in the class..hehe
* to me i dun be too fussy.. just take it easy. As long dat i know our lil bub is enjoying the class, the teachers educate n take care our child, and they bring back the stuffs they did at skool (so i see the 6mths material fees im payin),im happpi. |
