They do not pro-rate the fees or tuition. I think this is standard practice for most, if not all, the international schools here. Not sure if you had the opportunity to tour the campus, but it is considered large for Singapore. It covers nursery thru 12th grade once construction is finished next yea...

Is financial aid, grants, fee waivers, or scholarships practiced in the international schools in Singapore? The up-front costs to some schools are so intimidating. Seems like most of the school want all the fees and half of the year's tuition before school starts. Not sure if I even want to broach t...

Just wanted to make sure that you're aware that just because there may be a nearby local school to the housing you find, it doesn't mean that your children will be placed there.

Starryeyes, It will all depend on how 'generous' you are willing to be. Some employers include a phone card allowance each month; trip home once a year (not to include the end-of-year contract expiry); it'll be nice for you to allow her to cook her own food once in a while as she may not be used to ...

My husband has scoliosis and he's gone to see Dr. Serene Ng - she's a chriopractor. She's worth a phone call to speak about your son, she would be honest to tell you if she can help and refer you to someone else if necessary.

I really liked the prenatal classes at Como Shambhala at the Forum Mall - on Orchard Rd. They are held a yoga studio and not a multipurpose room like Mother & Child. The instructor is very knowledagle and will give you a good work out. 1st class is free so check them out. http://shambhala.como.bz/de...

Yes, you can find them. I've seen 7th Generation cleaning supplies at cold storage, Taste original, Brown rice paradise, and other shops. I agree with the other poster in that you can make your own earth friendly products. Vinegar, water, washing powder, baking soda .... some combinations of those i...

I actually shop at their Harbourfront shop but apparently the have a larger shop in Clementi. Call them for their address - 6872584 Taste Original

Carpe Diem Kidz off of Alexander Road has a sandpit. They have a large outdoor area with bunnies, chicken & duck coop, herb garden...

On the 3rd floor, it's called Taste Original organics. I think they have a shop in Clementi too.

A few fun coloring and workbooks so they can learn English...a cross-word puzzle for the older son (10 y.o). I wanted it to be eductaional and fun - so I opted for pencil crayons, markers, and activity books for my helpers's 2 boys, age 7 and 10.

Will also be giving my helper $ for postage.

Hi all- Can someone point me to a shop that sells a good variety of arts and craft supplies? I can't seem to find construction paper anywhere! Want to do a few things with the kids for the holidays and needs things like pipe cleaners, pom-pom balls, glitter, construction/felt/foam paper, paints, etc...

The styles here are a bit lacking (based on USA tastes), IMHO. You can, of course, find recognizable brands here but you'll pay out of your nose.

Def. buy shoes b4 you come for your whole family.

There's a place called COMO Shambhla - this is where I go and really like it.

The first trial class is free for new people. They are a proper yoga studio and the instructor is very knowledgable.

Hi all - I need take my 2.5 y.o. son to the dentist soon for a check-up. Any recommendations?

Any advice to get him to stop swallowing toothpaste and brush thoroughly would be helpful too!
