Hi, I am a Nov 2007 mummy from SK. Wondering did any mummy here sent your kid to child care already?
I heard some good comments abt learning vision at Punggol Field Walk blk 128D?
Any comments ?
Very headache as most of the child care center in SK already full for next year and for those still have vacancy, the fees are sky high !!!
Thanks in advance.

Cactus: where will you be going for Cruise? =) Is E going along as well?
I've been meaning to go to Tokyo leh but no opportunity. Maybe I can convince hubby to go there before I go back to work after my maternity. Summer should be quite nice. =)
Koala: Sorry I can't help you as I don't stay in SK. But I understand your dilemma. One of my concerns is Childcare vs. Kindergarten.
I'm still weighing the pros and cons between continuing nursery - K2 in a childcare setting or moving E to Kindergarten (3 hours) in 2011. What you gals think ah?

the left one is what i'm currently using... I forgot when i bought it. Should be ordered from either amazon or diapers.com. The right one is brand new, my friend just bought it for me from america....
Note that the packaging and color difference......

michviv:: yea loh. think of the money to spend haha!!! hubby was still asking me: should go or not? waste money. so i think i better act fast before he thinks otherwise.

HAHA!!

I think is individual needs whether to choose child care or kindergarden and also if you have helpers (maid or in law) to help you to fetch to and flow... and most importantly is the teachers must have "ai xin".
my boy went to child care for a while when he was 18 mths, get sick after 1 week and my mum told me the senior teacher scolds the kid as "xi ren" ( dead person) so i quickly withdraw him.
end of the day, not matter child care or kindergarden, the quality of the teacher is most important.
<font color="0000ff"> missA</font>
I have talked to a few center, some of them following the 30 months rule but some are not. they go by calender year, so our dd is consider 3 yrs old. Mcys not really strict abt this, but below 30 months, the teacher to student ratio must be lower than 1:12.
learning vision @ cecil principal told me they can put my boy in N1 by next jan. so i think is depends on the management.

Some of the US products have different packaging for import and local use. I am not sure if CB is one of them. You may want to check under CB website. I think you can write to them.

Weishy/K@ye: I like the iron on, nice. But we've to choose the right colour coz if ours is white t-shirt, then the silver lettering might not stand up. 2 more weeks to go, so we've to decide what wordings we want on the t-shirt so that we order the right alphabets. Just throw some ideas here and we decide,k. Else will take very long to finalise
1) "NAME turns 2"
2) "NAME just turns 2"
3) "Birthday Boy/Girl - NAME"
1) "NAME turns 2"
2) "NAME just turns 2"
3) "Birthday Boy/Girl - NAME"
Weishy/K@ye: Ok, so we've more or less finalised on the DIY t-shirt. Next, we need to decide if it's going to be (a) Iron-on or (b) Doodle on the actual day.
(a) Iron-on
Pros:
- Nice
- Neat
- Stands out when taking grp photo
Cons:
- More expensive. Average abt $15.50 per t-shirt. $2/t-shirt, $13.50 for letterings (assuming 9 alphabets name for the phrase "Xxxxxxxxx Turns 2")
- More time consuming. One of us has to iron on the t-shirt prior to D-day.
(b) DIY Doodle
Pros:
- Convenient, less hassle
- Cheaper (Less than $5/t-shirt)
Cons:
- Wordings might not stand out when taking grp photo.
- Can be a little messy if not drawn nicely.
I guess the idea of the t-shirt is more for grp photo taking, fun and for remembrance purpose, we can still dress up our prince/princess on that day, take some grp photos in their own dresses/tuxedo and then we'll also take some photos with the DIY t-shirt.
So mummies, option (a) or (b)?

Michviv: We're taking Star Cruise to KL (few hrs pit stop) and yes, we'll be bringing E along. Go ahead and plan for yr trip else u'll be more busy when no.2 comes along.
Gloomybear: There's a Mom's Essential shop near my wk place. They're the authorised distributor for CB products. I spoke to the lady boss regarding yr concern and she explained that it's very likely due to oxidization. As it's an organic product, there's no preservative/extra ingrdients added to the content, hence the smell and colour of product will change if it's not lock/cap properly. She advised not to continue using the product on the child but adults can use it perhaps as hand wash, no need to discard the remaining. As for the packaging, the right bottle in yr picture is the new packaging. She said u shld not be overly concerned if u've purchased the product from an authorised dealer.

Hi gals: Finally go some time to log in. We are back in Shanghai since Tues morning. But it was terrible cos both my hubby and I kena food poisoning just the day before we flew when we had buffet at a friend's wedding. Both down with LS and vomit and fever and almost had to delay our flight. But fortunately, we were well enough to make the flight. Then Matt caught the virus from us 2 days ago and has been vomitting and LS all the food and milk and liquids he has been taking. Poor boy... Hope he gets well soon. Other than taking care of him, he's been vomitting all over the place and there's so much laundry and cleaning up to do. With him sick and the little baby, it's just such a handful for my mum and me. We have our domestic helper coming in daily from next week onwards. Hopefully things will be better then. Matt's prob lost his little belly already.

tinkabel: Hang in there...viral gastroenteritis is really no fun. Hope Matt gets well soon.
missA: They actually told me that E will be considered N1 when he goes to school in Jan. They didn't tell me anything about the 30 month rule. Perhaps MC@Tanglin is more lax cos the intake is still quite low.
Cindy: Haha...I raised the idea to him today. So far so good. No strong objections. hehehe. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Haha, let me ask my mummy tomorrow about her "performance". She's trained in ballroom and line-dance so no surprise la. =P
Koala: Thanks for your input. =) I totally agree but then again, there are also more considerations in my mind...

Thanks for all the well wishes. Certainly this is prob one of the worst illness a toddler can be down with. He's prob wet like 10-12 diapers today. Luckily the vomitting stopped. Haiz but he developed phobia for bathing already. Hopefully the LS will stop soon too.
Shannon's coping ok. It's still not too cold yet. Temp ard 16-26 deg. Decent temperatures...
gloomybear: You can go to the little shops (which we call xiao dian here). The good junctions are chang le road along huai hai lu and shanxi nan lu. Around that area are quite a fair bit of little shops. I find that in Shanghai I seldom shop at the shopping centres. Either we are not familiar with the brands or for brands like zara / mango, they are more ex than Singapore. Do drop by the tailor on Day 1 if u want anythg, It's at Lu Jia Bang. For baby clothes, try the NiHong Shi Chang at Pu An Lu and Jing Ling Lu. Do the massages/ pedi/ manis. They are inexpensive. Have fun...

Tinkabel: Hope Matt recovers soon! Take good care of yourself too!
30 months rule: Yep, this happens at certain cc like I know Pat's follows this. But some other centres follow the year on year progression. Good and bad, cos if it's a yr end child, or the child is not ready for N1 but parent pushes, then it's not good for the child.
Re: T-shirt
Agree to just enjoy that day and let them wear whatever they like... hahaha.. J has the habit of screaming, "I don't want this" when he doesn' like a particular top. HOw he gets so so picky... I have absolutely no idea!

Thanks for all the well wishes for Matt. Thank goodness his vomitting stopped after 2 days. Now still LS-ing, but less frequently already. Need to change once poo else later kena diaper rash problem again. Loads of soiled diapers. Think he finished 1/2 bag of the big pack of diapers since we came back.
Been also training Shannon to sleep through. So far, she lasted 3 nights of 8 hours without feeding, although she does wake up ard 4 plus am and wanting milk. Hopefully can start to adjust her feeding and sleeping. She so super awake in the day, only taking cat naps and always wanting pple to carry. My friend was telling me girls need more attention. We wanted to leave her down crying a while hoping she will stop. Cos Matt will stop if we ignore him a while. But Shannon unfortunately is not like that. Those with girls, is this the case?
