Hi, mummies.
Any recommendations for child care (for 18mths above) in Bedok Reservoir area?
I saw that there are Marvel Kidsworld at Eunos CC and Carpe Diem at Blk 122. Please comment if they are good and what are their charges like.
Thanks! |

Hello mommies, me also East side mom but me at Katong...
Any kids here on Nan pro 3? Got lobang to order from distributor directly, anyone keen to tonbang? Don't mind meeting you at Bedok Reservoir (Jalan Tenaga area)... pls let me know latest by tomorrow ya?
Price? - 900gm Nan Pro 3 = $25.50 (incl GST liao)
Also got Nan Pro 2 but $2 more - $27.50 for 900 gm (also incl GST liao)
Thinking if we combine our order, see can get a better price... me ordering 2 cartons...

Hi Naf (naf)
Read your note above.
1. To learn numbers, u should get him do quantity recognition first. Numbers do not mean a thing to them unless they know quantity. Try doing Dots flash cards
2. Similar note, ABC do not mean a thing to them. .. eg: can u define A?
Show him short words.. or sounds of A.
Tumble tots at Tampines Stadium got RightStart toddler lessons which might help.
3. Try games like lacing n jigsaw to train the concentration span. But do not expect loads.. cos it's very typical of them to like to jump around.
4. PATIENCE.. and more PATIENCE... do not compare or set expectations... lots of praise and encouragement for the boy....
Cheers |

3) Learning Vision @CBP - quite like this one
4) MindChamps @ CBP - quite like this one too
5) PCF Sparkletots @Blk 184 Bedok North - my girl currently @infant care centre. |

hi mummies, i've visited the following
1) cherie hearts @ jln singa
i like it cos it has outdoor play, water play, and air-con only during nap time, so less spread of diseases. principal also seems sincere and nice.
2) carpe diem @ blk 108 bedok res
worst of the lot. principal could barely speak english. totally out of my consideration.
3) orange tree @ kaki bukit
vibrant place, fully-aircon. but no outdoor play and quit inconvenient location
4) hungry caterpillar
place is very big with it's own outdoor play, but it's super hot. nicely renovated... but very COLD. place seemed very dead when i visited. my child felt most uncomfortable when entering.
5) cherie hearts @ 743 bedok res
nice place, where there's a live online screening of yr kids during music time. i like it that children are not confined to a small space. but the other time, they said due to h1n1 no outdoor play, not sure about now. it's fully a/c but the air the place after naptime so quite ok.
6)the pre-schoolers
nothing impressive. place looked dark and cramp, but i guess all these hdb void deck kind are the same. in fact already much better than carpe diem.
7) kidz kulture (modern montessori)
i have yet to visit them, cos they only open up for trials on saturdays, and they are booked for the next 2 weeks! gosh. but from the person who spoke on the phone, they seemed so much more professional. of cos lah... u pay so much more...
8) marvel kidsworld
have enquired since long ago but they are always full. maybe cos it's very cheap! only $250 after subsidy. i have not viewed the place, but i know it's air-conditioned. but then, it's so cheap so I kinda worry about the quality of education.
so after looking around for so long... i still haven't decided. any mummies have put their children in one of these and has experience to share? but anyway juz posting my research to share. hehe. |

Hi there. I stay in Eunos too. My boy just started pre-nursery. Sent him to Aces Montesori at Kembangan Lor Sarina. So far not bad Nice vibes in the place. The 'boss' is always around which resulted in teachers being on their toes. But they also speak very highly of him which is good i feel |

Hi Naf, maybe you teach your boy in a different way? My boy learns best by interacting with things in daily life. He can't sit still to listen to anything I try to teach him ie. flash cards etc. But he learnt his numbers very fast by looking at the lift (the digital numbers which flashes at the top as the lift move up/down). We would read it out to him as the lift moves and soon he can recognise the numbers (but only to our floor haha)
As for ABC, I started by singing the song to him all the time, as I was carrying him. The rest he learnt through his alphabet books. |

hi chiroaini,
my dd attend full-day playgroup class at MMI tampines kidz pro...since Feb'10
1)MMI tampines kidz pro
- school feel 560 after subsidy
- no air-con : less prone to flu, etc
(previously dd went to an air-con infant childcare ctr and catch flu frequently)
2) MMI bedok reservoir
- school fee: 780 after subsidy + $50(or $80) for weekly gym...so addup to more than $800. As the principal does not like the playgroup as she believe it is the source of diseses/viruses...so need to engage external vendor to setup internal gym weekly
- air-con : prone to flu
other factor to consider - available public transport (if you don't drive)...this is very important as you need to send/fetch your kid everyday rain/shine |

hi there,
I am staying Jln Tenaga too.
princessgx,
i visited:
3) orange tree @ kaki bukit
the supervisor keep shouting at the kids for them to be quiet.
don't want my daughter to learn shouting.
kids toilet is dirty and smelly.
4) hungry caterpillar @ shun li industrial park
environment is clean and spacious. my daughter can readily join in the activity.
9) thinkerstar @ jalan damai
the supervisor doesn't show enthusiastic on the kids when i visited.
in the end i enrolled my daughter to hungry caterpillar since Jan. she likes to go school and learned quite a lot of things there.
i am happy with the place.
the only down side is that they seems to change the teacher pretty often. lucky that her main teacher for playgroup class is still the same. |

Update on my school visits...
I visited
1) MMI Bedok Reservoir
Seems like a nice place but the principal seems proud so didn't select that place.
2) MMI Tampines
Supposedly MMI but didn't like it that principal couldn't speak English properly and environment is very much like the normal HDB void deck childcares.
3) MMI Katong(Katong SC)
Quite a nice spacious place but didn't like it that there was no outdoor playground.
4) Cherie Hearts (Lor Melayu)
Felt the place wasn't clean enough. Also, kids were watching tv, something which I disapprove of.
5) Tenderkids (chai Chee)
Very cramped. Outdoor toys old. Kids watching tv in the afternoon while waiting to go toilet or something.
6) Our Junior's Schoolhouse (telok kurau)
My son was there for a while and he didn't like it. I like the outdoor play space, but didn't like it that parents don't get to see what's going on inside since its all enclosed.
7) PCF Sparkletots (Eunos)
New and nice place. Very open. But... Heard from a fren her son got bullied there and didn't drink his water so don't have a good impression of the place.
8) Honey Tree Dido Street
Affordable place. Very old. Quite convenient as its near the main road. There seemed to be an interesting curriculum, but I didn't like the place cos it was too old.
9) Aces Montessori
The children do activities on a cloth mat which I find to be rather unhygienic. Generally, didn't like the environment. It's one of the cheapest Montessori childcare ctrs around the area though.
10) Ripples Montessori (not childcare)
Nice environment. Teachers seem good too. But it's pricey and there's no food provided.
11) Twinklestars Montessori (not childcare)
I like it that they have integrated a music program as well as gym. U juz need to top up some $ for those enrichment programmes. But because there is no toilet inside, it is listed as a private school and we can't use baby bonus for payment.
12) Cherie Hearts Stahub Ctr (Ubi)
Place is clean and bright but rather noisy. teachers don't seem very caring.
13) The Little Skoolhouse (Fidelio)
My kids have been there for over a year. Environment is nice. Nice outdoor play. Teachers don't change. Food is good. Kids learnt a lot and are very happy.
I visited some of these places more than a year ago so some may not exist or some may have changed. But I just realized how many schools I'd visited just to find my kids a school... Haha. Anw hope my research helps. |

Hi there. Happen to see this thread n tot of sharing my experience with the mummies here.
My gal has been attending skool at Orange Tree for abt 2 years now. Teachers are very caring and encouraging towards the kids. U can feel that they genuinely care for the kids. All the teachers know every child in the cc. They maintain close contact with parents. As for curriculum, they have weekly Tien Hsia n Morris Allen classes which takes the trouble away from sending the kids to extra Chinese n English enrichment classes on weekends. They are also able to identify the strengths of the individual kid. Hope that helps. |

My son also been in Orange Tree Kaki Bukit for 2 years (since N1) and in K1 this year. He loves the school with good phonics skill (taught by Malay teacher). Before coming to Orange Tree, I've tried Talend Plus (good before 3yo) and Spakel Tots (only there for 6 mths as the quality of the students are quite poor). So glad I found Orange Tree who provided great education to my son with the right enrichment classes.  |
