After seeing yr input... I m now thinking twice.

Its so tough finding good teachers. Parents expectations are so high. I suggest for parents to treasure teachers. Feedback to help them improve as if they are your own children. If you think th grass is greener on the other side and switch schools. Remember that that teacher can resign too. So its better to make sure YOU as parents contribute to a conducive environment for your own children. Dun gossip as it will only create negative vibes for your own children. Parents do avoid such parents. Negativity only brings everyone lower.

I have putting my 2 1/2 old child in MMI pinnancle. Most of the teacher is new, no experience. Children wandering out the school gate with no guidance and anyone can just grab and go. Only one entrance and exit for escape with another door lock at all times. The teacher will not ensure whether food or water intake is enough for the kid. No communication bet teacher and parent only through the communication book of what they serve and teach. If we ask the teacher question, they always refer you to the principal.

Suggest you choose a few to visit. Just a few. I went to a number in that area and eventually put my child in Mindchamps Preschool@Katong. Besides Glory Catering. I am not sure if there is still any space there for PG though. But speak with the centre director and make a visit. Its a building on its own annd the center director, VP and STs run the centre very well and you will be impressed with what you see there.

Suggest you visit a few centres so that you have an expectation of what a preschool does before you go there. I would suggest Shaw and also Eton nearby before you go to Mindchamps.

but everyone has their own criteria as to which preschool is best...

I went through that before and know its very hard to decide on price alone. But I have seen the lower priced ones and even put in one of the centres and at 18mths, if the ratio is very high, you do get the care that you want your kids to have. 1:5 vs 1:7/8 makes a difference at 18mths old.

happy hunting... see comments on mindchamps at the mindchamps forum. Most of them are very true as I see them for myself.

My son turning 18 months in May and I was wondering if anyone could recommend preschool around Tanjong Katong area.
There seem to be so many and it's hard to choose based on price alone.

Anyone have any good or bad experiences to share specific to preschools around Tanjong Katong?
