Nursery For Two-year-old?

I am looking for a nursery for my daughter. She is turning 2 this Aug. However, some of the places I went said she is too young to be admitted.

I like to know what is the minimum age for her to attend any Nursery and which nursery in Tampines is open for registration. How do I register?

Dear Helper says:

She may be too young for a nursery class. Nursery classes cater only to children aged 3 years.

But it's still not too early for your daughter to go to school, if you wish.

She can go to a playschool. There are many in Tampines.

Since she will only be two in August, I suggest you register her in May/June for the 1997 intake.

In the meantime, enjoy spending time with your daughter. I believe the best school is at home, where parents teach good values.
