Hi fatmtb,
I didnt go to the computer rm to take a look, so not sure whether the monitors are LCD type or traditional type.
Hi Janey,
My girl has started attending the lesson liao. So far so good. I think the teachers are very good, almost all the children stop crying after the 2nd weeks of school. My girl stops crying after the 1 wk so I suppose she is coping well.
The first 3 days when I was there, the teacher didn't teach them much. They only teach them how to eat, sit and how to hold the bottle properly. But I think it good, cos they afraid the children might hurt themselves so teach them the proper way of eating, sitting, etc.
By the way, my gal is in Grace class under Mrs Hutchinson. |

hi all,
Received a letter from the school a few weeks ago that say there will be Chinese New Year celebration on 5 Feb. The kids are strongly encourage to wear their new year clothes. what does it mean? Everyone must wear? Don't want my son to feel left out.
He is in the nursery class first year. Thanks in advance. |

No need if you don't have the traditional clothing. My son wore his own clothes only. If you are too worry, you can check with the teacher or call the school to check. |

If your girl is turning 3 this year that means she is born in 2005. For those born in 2005 registration started last year. My girl is born in 2005 June and she started pre-nursery this year. We registered her somewhere in July last year.
I think they go by the year you are born irregardless of whether you have touch 3 yrs of age. And if I am not wrong registration start earliest June for some schools. But every school is different. Got to look out for the banner all call the school to ask.
For me, I want to know the school fees to make a comparison. But so far no one can advise yet. |

Alternatively, you can see if the school still have vacancy. If don't have then waitlist. Or she can start next year at another level which is Nursery.
Hope the info helps. |

hi Dearie_e,
I am so happy to hear that the teachers are good!!! Thank you thank you!!! I am prettty worried about the feeding actually, cos' my kid does not self feed well at all..
Do we need to bring our own water bottle?
Btw, i think there is only one pre-nursery class right? so Mrs Hutchinson is a english teacher?
hi JkCY,
my girl has to be 30mth and above, 2.5years old to join the Pre-N class. The principal told me to come after March holiday You can call to check the vacancy. |

Just curious, do you mummies mind abt the obituary room at Nativity that is on the side entrance of the school? I know that the school bus will bypass it.
I want to send my daughter to Nativity but it will be an issue to convince my hb and mil on that. |

Hi, I'm thinking to send my 05 boy to Nursery in Nativity, Catholic Kindergarten at Kovan or Kinderland Serangoon in 09 Jan.
Visited all three, Kinderland is of course much newer and full air-con. Both Catholic and Nativity are very old and non air-con. and for the fees, Nativity and Catholic are charing rather cheap less than $500/term where Kinderland is charging abt $1200/term.
Wondering if teachers/principal in Nativity speak proper/good english (where no singlish AT ALL)? |

Hi! Little Precious
I agree that the building is old and non air-con but I do not think that the place is hot & stuffy as they have ceilings fans installed hence is pretty cooling. My son speaks pretty well after attending Nativity and he's always looking forward to sch so guess he's enjoying the company of his classmates & his teachers which is Mrs Hutchison & Chen "Lao Shi'
(Mrs Chen).
Well..I guess appearance of the sch is not important at all as long as you know that your child is comfortable and is learning well there. And his form teacher is always willing to share his progress with me whenever i call to enquire.
Hope this helps. |

hi residentevil,
Same here! My kid is in Mrs Hutchinson class, i think the chinese teacher is quite good, is her surname "Mrs Ng" and one more assistance, also quite kind but i didn't catch her surname, she worn specs.
But i find my kid is not drinking enough water, not sure if the teachers are monitoring their water intake and making sure they drink enough? i find the water level is almost the same when i check it back home.
Do you call up and talk to Mrs Hutchinson? I also feel like calling up and chat on my kid progress, just to make sure everything is ok since i don't go there myself.
My kid is also taking school bus! Are you taking Mrs Peh yellow bus to go? |

Hi Hi Janey,
yea..i agree on the water issue..e h2o level doesn't drop much everytime aft he returns home. Guess e teachers doesn't want e kids to frequent e washroom too often bah...
Yes, he takes Mrs Peh's bus..I've called Mrs Hutchinson twice so far..and she's happy that parents actually call to check on their child's progess so I guess you can just give her a ring soon..Do you happen to know abt e Meet the parent session in May? Guess from there, we'll have a much better understanding on our child's progress & development.. |

My gal like Mrs Hutchinson very much.. and chen lao shi. If I not wrong, Mrs Ng is the assistance. Chen lao shi is the chinese teacher. I'm so impressed when my gal talk to me in mandarin.. haha
Have u saw them doing chicken dance b4 on every wed. I happened to see it once, so funny..
They are going for their outing on 09 May 08. Feel so happy for them, can go outing. |

Janey,
I think the outing should be confirmed. But not to worry, nearer to the date, the school will inform the parent again. |

Cutie Cute,
How about Upper Thomson Rd (opp Thomson Plaza). Is it too far?
There's a Church of the Holy Spirit Kindergarten there. Not sure if they have pre-nursey but you may wish to call them at 64536330 to find out more.
This is the location of the church:

Hi Janey & Dearie_e,
our kids will be going for their 1st excursion this Fri..feel so exciting for them..I'm sure they'll enjoy. Btw, did any of your girls got any bites on them which seems to me the culprit should be sandfly...my boy had a few of it last week and apparently he got a few more after attending mass @ Nativity which my in laws attended and thats when i realised he must have gotten all this sting from nativity compound. And yesterday he got 2 more!! I'm wondering if he's the only one..?? I'll probably call up the church or school admin to feedback on this. Hopefully they can do smthg abt it. |

No, my girl dont have any bite on her. When I was there the whole of Monday, I didn't get any bite as well. So I think might not be from the school. |

Hi Ann,
Only Pre-Nus & Nus will be going. The school will be closed on this Fri as all the teacher need to go for the outing to look after the kid. I'm not sure whether there will be any admin staff to show u ard. Better call and check.
Residentevil,
I celebrate my ger birthday on Monday so they allow parent to stay thru out. But I only stay in the classrm for half hr and wait outside the classrm till class end. Dont want to distract the kid. |

Tks Janey,

I would like to register my gals in this kindergarten. Is there any mummies know if there is anymore vacancy for pre-nursery and nursery?
I called the school but no one pick up the phone and I'm looking for school for my gals coz I'm moving to that area in July.
Thanks for the help.. |

Hi! Dainel,
You may like to try calling them again on Mon cos the teachers were all out on an excursion today..not sure about the admin staff though.
Other than Nativity, you can also check out St. Anne's kindergarten. Depending on where you stay or if happened that Nativity does not have any vacancy.
Good luck! |

Hi,
Registration is around April every year. They can go to the pre-nus once they reach 30 months.
You can give them a call most likely will be on waiting list if you want to sign up for next year. |

Hi
Wow the Nursery Class for morning session is indeed FULL & there are abt 10 on wait list.
For mummies whose child are in Nursery PM session (11.30am-2.30pm). May I know what is the timetable like? Will there be any snack time for the children? If I put him in this session means he needs to eat lunch at 11am. |

Hi adora
I also find the afternoon session inconvenient. (Like nowhere near and there)
Are u looking for a Catholic education or a kindergarten near yr place? Like others mentioned, can try St Anne or Catholic Kindergarten? I like the idea of them bringing kids to the church compound and saying prayers. |

hi,
notice that nativity kindergarten did not offer phonics as part of their cirriculum for N2 classes. But they have Readers program ... can any mommies out there comment on the readers program - does your child learn to read and converse better after attending nativity ?
Anybody enrol for their enrichment classes like speech and drama ? I need to urgently enrol my gal to a kindergarten - as pretty late now for next year intake. Any mommies staying in Sengkang enrol in navitity ? Thanks ! |

Hi Mums
I'm new here and I need help. I've enrolled my son at Nativity Church Kindergarten starting next yr and attended at the orientation day in nov. But I just didn't rmbr been told to sit in for some talk as to what things to bring for my son on his first day at school or whether parents are allowed during the first few days of school as practised by other schools/childcare, etc. Also, are there books that I've missed out buying for my kid? Pls, could someone (who have kids studying at tt school and with kids borne in 2005) enlighten me? |

Esther,
When my gal attends the pre-N this year, parents are allow to go into the classroom during the first 3 days.
I didn't buy any books for my gal. You just have to let your son bring his water bottle with his name on it. hope this help. |
