给娃找child care (Sengkang area)

2019-07-19 19:07
阿不现在18个月多，我还没决定什么时候要送child care，打算起码等到他可以告诉我白天在学校发生了什么事情之后再送。也要看他自己准备好没有，打算先送两小时，再延长到半天，大一点再送全天。

在家附近看了一些，我的focus是playgroup。没找到十分满意的，有几间是可以考虑将就的。Share一下information，也希望妈妈们有好学校推荐的可以告知一声。以下排列从最喜欢到最不喜欢。

目前最满意的就是这间了，也是看过的学校里头课程表里面唯一没有academy的一间。我的大方向是让孩子去玩就好了，不用刻意学什么。不过如果能从游戏中学习的话也是好的。有两间半独立双层楼房大，没有空调，有户外活动的空间，这都是我所喜欢的。去的时候学校放假，还没有机会看见老师带领孩子们的情景，不过阿不看起来很喜欢这地方，自己跑进去玩了半天不想走。唯一不满意的是老师和学生的比例是1对10。校长说，如果需求上升的话可能会调到1比12。一个带这么多个，顾得来吗？

感觉比较传统的一间child care，现在没有playgroup，今年中才开始会开办playgroup。同样没有空调，有户外活动空间，就在kinderland隔壁，只有kinderland一半大。老师学生比例1 比 8，可以接受。就是问到校长他们的philosophy是什么的时候她说不出来，只是说了会安排适合小孩的活动让他们参与。

没有空调，有户外活动空间，一个老师带三个小孩，但是学费不贵（800多好象，记不清楚了）。去到看见带孩子的都是一些穿得很随便的大婶，对娃态度有点感觉不太好。

被扭曲了的montessori理念，强调学习，三岁大的小孩子，除了语文还学科学，数学，还有很多enrichment classes，跟我的理念背道而驰。

矮小，封闭，压抑的课室，娃一进去就吵着要出去，一刻也不愿意多待。陈旧，闹哄哄，乱糟糟，给我的印象十分不好。经过孩子们的厕所一阵异味扑鼻而来，教室内孩子们都光着脚，老师们都穿着鞋，我落荒而逃。据说老师很好，可这样的环境，老师再好我也不愿意把娃送来。


时间有点赶，写得有点乱。现在考虑把找学校的范围扩大，到punggol，或者serangoon。希望妈妈们推荐。

感觉不太对啊
选child care不是选幼儿园吧
关注的应该是care

个人觉得应该是就近，老师有耐心和蔼可亲

顶kinderland，还有交换生计划去日本
Never too young for overseas school trips

Kinderland has been sending pupils abroad for several years, while EtonHouse will start soon. -ST

Fri, Nov 02, 2012
The Straits Times

SINGAPORE - Giving students overseas exposure is critical, and two pre-schools here have deemed it vital to start very young.

Kinderland has been sending pupils abroad for several years, while EtonHouse will start soon.

Next month, Kinderland will take a group of pupils between the age of two and six to Japan on a seven-day trip billed as an "autumn exchange camp".

Pupils, who have to be accompanied by an adult, will go to Mount Fuji, visit theme parks and spend a day at a Japanese preschool.

The e-mail to parents - backed up by posters - cites the "first-hand opportunity to understand Japanese culture in a kindergarten" and the opportunity to "enjoy child-centred learning activities while on holiday with the family" as benefits of the trip.

The chain, which runs annual year-end trips to Japan, charges $2,190 per pupil and $2,590 for each accompanying adult.

It did not reply to queries from The Straits Times.

Like Kinderland, another high-end chain here, EtonHouse, said it intends to take its preschool pupils to visit some of the 10 pre-schools it owns in China in "the near future".

A trip was initially planned in 2010 but did not take place as school holidays in both countries did not match.

An EtonHouse spokesman said that it wanted its pre-schoolers to "understand different cultural contexts" and learn to collaborate with children from other countries.

She added that such trips might include a social responsibility element, with pupils taking part in a charity drive to raise money for underprivileged children in the country they visit.

But is there value in sending children abroad at such a tender age?

The views of parents and experts were mixed.

Some, like Association for Early Childhood Educators founder Christine Chen, think such trips can be beneficial as pre-schoolers take well to experiential learning.

Physiotherapist Felicia Seet, 32, said she would send her six-year-old son on such a trip if his Little Skool House childcare centre offered it.

But others pointed out that overseas trips for pre-schoolers are a nice-to-have bonus, rather than a necessity.

Citing welfare homes and orphanages run by Singapore-based charities, pre-school education consultant Khoo Kim Choo said: "If you want children exposed to social causes, to realise how fortunate they are, Singapore offers a lot of opportunity to do so too."

One parent, whose daughter attends Kinderland's Kovan branch, said she will not be going as it is "too expensive".

Another mother, who sends her son to Kinderland's NurtureStars branch, said: "It will be more beneficial if kids go on such overseas trips when they are much older."

How much benefit children will derive depends on how carefully a programme is planned, said Dr Khoo.

She said: "It is not just about the trip alone, but what learning is done before, during and after that makes it meaningful."

都关注。送child care以后也希望在同一地方升幼儿园
我关注的是环境，地点，师资，philosophy，老师与学生的比例，活动，设施。
