Pre school
Hello daddies and mommies , May I ask how long in advance do you look for your child Pre school and what’s the thing to look out for ? Mind to share any good and bad experiences as well if you have any pls ? TIA !
If you are looking at putting your child into full day childcare at 18mo, it's good to start off 6 months before as some cc has places reserved for their ifc kids. Wait list may be long. The other popular entry point is at N1 / Playgroup / Toddler , termed differently by different centres, for the year LO is going to turn 3yo. If you are looking at few hours kindergarten or play groups or work groups, you may need to check with respective centres as they usually only have 2 intakes (Jan and June/July) per year, so you won't want to miss the registration. Good to search for available centres in the vicinity and indicate interest first. Walk past the centre in the morning when parents are dropping off the kids and observe if the kids are happy going to the centre and how the staff manage the crying kids.
