Final round of selection for Preschool
>> Monday, June 21, 2010
We have shortlisted 3 preschools for Alaric. All 3 are considered new establishment, less than 3 years.
But unfortunately one of the most wanted, top on the list one is out as they had reached their maximum capacity of the school.
Second on list is at Katong. It's a big centre and I especially love their spacious gym area. It combines Montessori and thematic approach. It's a lot of learning through play which I focus a lot. They have KinderMusik and GymPlay on a weekly basis.
It's also the very first preschool we had visited and it did leave a good impression for my Aunty whom accompanied us to to do the visiting. There is expats toddlers there as well so it's a good mixture of culture and gender as well.
Third on the list is between Katong and Old Airport Road. The teacher:student ratio is the lowest at 1:4 which is the most attractive factor of the centre. They have many educational lessons and focus a lot on academic aspects of the child. The principal did mentioned that our child need not attend extra class outside as they provide most classes when our child is there.
Downside is that the playroom is small and waterplay is only held once a month. Playdays(no lesson) are only on Friday. My concern is all work but no play makes jack a dull boy! I do not want to deprive Alaric of his childhood. So gotta review and see the timetable for this preschool again.
We will make arrangement for Hubbs to visit the 2 preschools and decide by then.
Maybe when it's the house moving ceremony day as Hubbs will be on leave and it's a weekday!!
So looking forward.
