former bt panjang child welfare clinic


this colourful building at 24 woodlands road used to be the bukit panjang child welfare clinic. it was officially opened in 1950. when we moved into the bukit panjang housing estate in 1997, it was still operating as a government clinic.

today it is a child development school (kindergarten) known as the learning ladder. at least, it is still involved in the welfare of the child though you have to pay a substantial fee to avail your child of its services.

it has a rather small car-park and in the mornings, when i see parents/guardians driving their children/wards to the place, they all seem to have a hard time manoeuvring their vehicles out of the confined space.
