dragg SG The Children's Garden Of Learning, run by Macpherson Christian Church, was told by MOE to cease operations as it did not have a licence. it is mid-way through the year. where can the kids go? a parent said, "this kindergarten charges only $40 a month while others $90. i cannot afford this. and they are understanding - if we cannot pay, they will give us a waiver or let us pay the following month." MOE said that kindagartens are registered if they meet the basic requirements in land use, safety, hygiene, teacher qualifications and curriculum. they have been teaching without a licence for 40 years and nobody complained. so it must be good isnt it?
dragg SG i dont think there was a need to register 40 yrs ago. they are charging only $40. my understanding is they are doing it in a charitable way. MOE took action following a tip-off.
nightzip SG Write in to ST forums? Suggest that the kindergarten obtain a license? Blast the government for withholding charitable acts by kindergarten.
Ito_^ SG i think people that are directly involved would be better.. outsiders like me, i dun see how much we can understand the situation. but i'd still support whoever that writes in though.
