Would like to share my story about a rude vice principal at a childcare centre. I believe all parents will love to enrol their kids to a nearer childcare but not many are lucky to have a slot nearer to home. Hence, parents got no choice to enrol their kids further away until theres slot vacancy at a nearer childcare.

A man found his van stolen after dropping off his kid at the childcare near Guillemard Crescent. Did anyone see the culprit or have details of the incident?

Our contributor believes more financial assistance should be given to families in light of rising kindergarten fees so as to also encourage them to have more children.

I refer to the article “PM Lee Hsien Loong zooms in on three areas for Singapore to prepare for the future” (Straits Times, Aug 9).

An angry mother complained about a childcare at Sengkang/Buangkok that overcharge parents for kids' meals, excursions and everything else! The childcare claimed the $22 meal was because it was an "international buffet". What, a buffet consisting of nuggets, fishballs, chicken wings and beehoon?

A careless childcare teacher in Macpherson accidentally scalded a girl by refilling very hot water in her bottle. The mother has complained to the management but said the incident is "beyond apologising". How can they be so careless?!

My husband and I are working and both of us have insufficient cash to afford a maid or put our 6 month kid in childcare as it costs very expensive. We are not rich people. So when we do food delivery we have to bring our 6 month old kid along.

The principal what app me.... "Good afternoon Shannon, sorry just to inform you that Osbert had accidentally knock his own water bottle against his mouth during drinking water time. He hurt his lower lip. First aid given. When I reach there I ask about how this happened. I asked him isit he drink and run at the same time. He told me that nobody knows or saw what happen. I ask about the cctv camera. He told me the cctv camera is down.

But this does not excuse you to park indiscriminately while sending your kids to the centres. It may be for just a while, but the short time you were away, you might be blocking access to other vehicles who are trying to get out of the carpark, thus delaying someone who is heading out and beginning their day. And this also does not excuse parents who spend so much time at the sending off area for their kids, and stand around while waiting for your kid to have their temperature taken. You might not be in any hurry to leave, but spare a thought for the next parent in line who is desperately trying to drop off their kid and heading off to work early. You are just taking up too much of their time. I don't know why people are now more selfish, always thinking about themselves. Please spare a thought for others

Today, while bathing for my girl after school we found a big bump on her forehead. I asked my girl how did she get this bump... bang at school and she began crying very badly!!!Immediately we call the school, as expected they say that the accident did not happen in school as she have already left the school and we did not immediately spot the bump when we pick her up!!! if it did happen at home how would I NOT KNOW?!?!?! A bump of this size???? She would have definitely wail her lungs out!! Would a kid even tell a lie like this? Just 5 months in this school, my girl got hurt 2 times with no evidence that its just an accident!!
