Hi,

I sent my son to KiddyABC playgroup at Hougang, Blk 555 void deck .
My aim is for him to socialise. Kiddy ABC

The price is reasonable and they do a lot of handicrafts, learn about colours, shapes, A-Z.
Each class has 1 Auntie and 1 English teacher. Class size is not too big too, less than 10 kids.

I sent him there for 1 year and later enrolled him to Kinderland Serangoon.
The reason is the school repeats the material every year...So no point to put him through the same thing again.

Previously i send my son to his KIddy ABC. The problem is the place i feel is abit space constrain. sometimes at night it use as KARAOKE for RC. If i am not wrong the teacher is Ms Irene. And it is only meant for Playgroup, after one year, you have to switch to another Nursery. But the main issue I withdrawl from there is My son don't like the place. Everyday crying for almost one month.

Ya, Same teacher, she quite good with the kids. The minus point is the school is sharing the RC facility.

My son love that school. Maybe that is the only time he get to mix with friends of his age...

Anyway, my son is the type that can be "thrown" to any school. He just need 20-30mins to get used to his new school/environment. He loves school and will do anything to go to school..:err:

ANother good thing about DaySpring is the school got Playgroup, Nursery, K1,K2.So don't need to crack head what is the next until Primary School. The school work like a Primary School. Imagine they have 4oo over students per day. Before i enrol my son there,I had search the many forum and review about this school, all the feedback is very positive.
One thing bad is abit too far. It at the end of pungol Road. But I see alot school bus fetching students.

hi Blueimage, are you looking for a playgroup or a nursery (then leading on to K1, K2)? Cos I think they are different. While the latter is more mainstream (childcare or kindergarten) teaching more "mainstream" academic stuff, the former (i.e. playgroup) is more "complementary" to mainstream schools. So they serve different needs.

The one I recommended above is the playgroup kind (Play Dates!). I have attended afew, and this one is different and true value for my money. The Play Leaders are great, and their contents great. You can read what the parents say, and see if it suits your needs.

What Parents Say Play Dates!

gd luck.

Dayspring Kindergarten
Hi Blueimage,

can check with you whether Dayspring provides full day childcare service or is it just a few hours a day preschool activities?

Hi, Dayspring is a School that provide Playgroup to Kindergarten. Basically is just a 2 to 3 hrs class. I do heard that they have Enrichment. They follow school holidays too. It is not a childcare school.

Hi, i realise they don't state address on their contact page ??!!
Contact Us Play Dates!

But looks like they are open for new term registration. Maybe you can email them at the email stated on the page?

Looking at their blog posts now, I think they operate in "I Love Children" (VWO) premise near Sengkang Compass Pt, and also at home (of the Play Leaders). Maybe you email them and ask?

Hi mommies,

I sent my girl to a weekly playgroup at Sengkang. We enjoyed the playgroup a lot. My girl got to mix around with toddlers her age and did some craftwork. She likes the story telling time and the dramatic play that follows. You can give a ring to the mom who runs this playgroup, 81013295 or try this site www.facebook.com/playgroupsengkang

hi mommy,
just wanted to let you know that I found a gem of a place for my gal and if you are looking for a childcare/preschool then you should check out "our children's house" at paya lebar crescent. it has natural outside/inside with beautifully done up dance n music room , n indoor rock climbing wall. the whole feel of the school is very warm and welcoming n so are the teachers. all though it has international curriculum it is not expensive as many other I have seen so far.
