What do you think of ECDA?

I’m a mother of 5 years old and currently teaching Nursery one. Yes I went through the same thing 3 years ago. I was frustrated when my dear son was on the waiting list for so long without any response. I started to blame ECDA for their management about it. But after becoming a preschool teacher myself a year later I realised that we are really short of teachers due to the parents’ demands, stressful work environment and salaries etc. It is almost impossible to hire a qualified preschool teacher nowadays. 🙃 Try to call the centres individually and register your interest. It took me almost 6 months to get a reply from a school. The schools will contact you as soon as they have a vacancy. Wish all the best to you and your little one 😊

same, applied for every single one at tampines, simei, pasir ris and bedok from 2 years back and only been on waiting list for infant care until she had to change to playgroup, lol. i managed to get her in infant at hougang by luck but it was such an inconvenience to travel. and by luck a school in tampines had 1 last slot and immediately took it but seriously until now on waiting list for playgroup for other schools. thank god her current school is good, if not, i will be on waiting list until she goes primary school i think. this is part of the reason why i dont even want to consider a second child looking at how frustrating it is to get them to a school.

Have you tried calling the individual schools to ask? A bit troublesome but.. it pays off.
