Hi,i would be moving to Punggol Field Blk 197 on 31 Mar 2007
.
I am in a delimma for my 3 years old son who are currently at one of the hougang childcare under my block. Few options:
a) To entrol my 3yrs old son at Blk 175D Bright Kidz. It would be a 6-7min walk for me. As for my elderly mum, maybe it could take up to 12-15min. The journey would by pass 1 traffic light, 1-2 roads of HDB carparks.If raining, situation could be quite bad.The fee for N1 for working mother is $438 after subsidy.
b) The childcare centre at Priwrinkle Blk 195C(2 min walk from my blk197B) had planned to open on 1st May 07. They are Q-dees.One of their branches are Q-dees Childcare located at Punggol 24th Ave. The fee for N1 for working mother is $650 after subsidy.(if I could recall, their duration are 7am-9pm)
c) My mum said she would take care my son for a month till 1st May when Q-dees open. What if Q-dee prolong their opening date? Furthermore, is also quite tedious for my 67 yrs old mum to look after my active boy. I am also afraid that my son would get use of non childcare day(relax mode) and would have more resistance in due course to place in a new childcare.
d) A half day AM childcare at Bright Kids than swap him over to Q-dees for the month of April 07?
e) A babysitter?
If I opt for option A,it be troublesome and unwise to quit Bright Kid just after a month and move my son over to Q-Dees at Blk195C. I also do understands that is quite unhealthy to do a quick change of childcare within such a short period....for infants. Envoirnment change is always challenging with many uncertains.
Kindly share your advice here. I would much appreciate and who knows I might get some ideal views. Thanks so much......
