Looking for Weekends Programmes for 2yr olds?

[beanie976]

er... pardon my ignorance  ... still very new to the pre-school scene.  What's MMI?  Is it Modern Montessori?

Tumbletots have 2 different types of curriculum. One mainly for balancing and movements on weekends. This is called tumbletots. The one I was looking at is held 5 days a week on weekdays. This includes lessons on arts and craft, storytelling, mandarin, etc.

I have a nanny during the day to look after my kid. Don't want to make her travel too far. So the school will have to be around the vacinity of nanny's place 

Pat's school charges around the same as the RC!  amazing... what a difference location can do.  The Pat's school near my office charges more then double the amount!!  At least that was what my colleague told me lar.... hmmm.. maybe it was for a different curriculum 

wah... navigating through the different pre-school types is like going through a maze! Any guidebook or article where we can get more info?

the only 'officially' guidebook will be from MOE...i guess....but i feel tat for pre-school....it's more on the parents,  wat we want our kids to be.....to be able  to speak 3 lanugages before P1, to be able to know some musical instruments before P1 or pick up any sports before P1....it's all in our own mind....yes, i would like my son to be able to do this and tat before he goes to P1 (he's only 2.5 yrs old now) .....but, so far, am only thinking...no action taken......

maybe should start him on in-line skating.....swimming ? korean lanugage? drama class ?

no guide rule what. Depends on parents what you are projecting yr children to be lor.....

To be happy, go, lucky .......no one is stopping.
To be Kia Su......................no one is stopping.
To be an introvert...............no one is stopping.
to be an extrovert...............no one is stopping.
to be equip with everything...no one is stopping.

sheesh... what reactions for asking a simple question   

The guide list I was looking for was a list of pre-schools around each neighbourhood and what kind of classes they offer, ie, Full/half-day childcare or playgroup or both, etc.

I can understand that there are many KS parents around but there are also lots of new parents who would like to understand what options there are for their kids. 

Initially, I was looking at childcare instead of playgroups cos' I didn't know the difference.  It's a slow process to understand all the jargon 

For all those who are totally lost still, here's a list of childcare centres from MCD

For those who are aware of playgroups (weekdays/weekends) around punggol, pls let me know where it is and any feedback about the centre cos' I'm still looking for one
