We live at West Coast Park and have a pre-school just around the corner - My son has been attending there for about 4 months since our move and he loves it, my wife and I think it is the best he has been in since we moved to Singapore - he is 4 1/2. If the address is close to what you are looking for, let me know and I will get the name and full address

Hiii

thanks for the reply. I am staying in Clementi now ,my kids go to MMI... however once I shift to Jurong ,,its gonna be really far for them to travel.
Thus I am thinking of changing school. However If I still dont find anything then perhaps, I will just leave them at the present school. I am just worried that the journey from Jurong to Clementi will just tire them out.
Anyways ,which school is your child in ? Thanks!!!!
Always have a smile on that face!

Aren't MMI everywhere, inc. West Coast Walk, Jurong West and East? I was thinking of putting my (very) little one into the JE one in a few months but not gone for a look yet.
Are we talking about the same MMI as well though?

getting from Jurong to Clementi and back in rush hour traffic will be tough. We also used to live Clementi (well Pandan Valley) and had the same problem so we switched him to this school, I'll have to find out the name from my wife and get back to you - but I think it would be worth a look.

Mostly the feedback from my son, he will be finishing in August and going to full time schooling, so he is old enough to communicate well. He likes the teachers and he looks forward to going to school. The pupil/teacher ratio is better than his last pre-school, they take into account his personality when interacting with him, this was important to us as we know he reacts well to praise and not so well to critisism. I find the teachers freindly and helpfull and the owners daughter goes to the school (gives me confidence that the standards will be kept high) there are a lot of little touches that make the place more freindly than the bigger pre-schools. Suggest you take a look if it is in range of where you live.
