Questions on schools near Avon Park

Post by N.C. » Tue, 19 Jul 2005 9:51 pm

Hi,

We will be moving to Singapore next month and we are lucky enough to have found a place to live in which is Avon Park. My question is this, I have two kids, my eldest is 5 1/2 years old while my youngest is 3 1/2 years old. I am very concerned in finding a good school for them near this area. I surmised that given their ages I will have to put them in a kindergarten.

Could anyone please recommend a good kindergarten for my kids? How long does this schools operate, from what time to what time? Is it really possible to put your kids from 7 AM to 7 PM in school or are there only a select few who have the said setting?

Will I have a problem in finding a slot for my kids inside the school? We will be moving there in Aug 15 at the earliest or Sept 1 at the latest. Will this pose a problem if I would want to enroll my kids in a specific school?

And what is the difference between a child care center and a kindergarten? Is the curriculum better in a kindergarten setting?


While Child care Centres are Ideal Educare Pte Ltd, Kindercampus Pte Ltd, Ascension Kindercare, UR Kids' Place and Nimbus Treehouse.

Did I miss out anything? Is there a better school than the ones that I have listed above? Can anybody give me their experiences on any of the above schools?

Thanks so much! I do hope anyone there can help me decide on what school to put my kids in. I am sorry if I have so many questions. I am just really worried and concerned that I might choose the wrong school for my kids.
