kindergarten @ foochow methodist churchwe never had any pre-school education, so when it came to our children, we made sure that they were not deprived of this experience.
when we were living at towner road, newton life church and foochow methodist church kindergartens were about the two nearest kindergartens which were affiliated to churches.
both ivy and ida attended the foochow methodist church kindergarten at race course road. they were placed in this kindergarten because we happened to know dr gong (who emigrated to australia in the 60s) who was related to the principal.
ivy had started attending k1 at foochow methodist church kindergarten. the next year she was moved to the kindergarten at newton life church because lay bee's pei hwa colleague's (ms tang) sister was the principal of the centre. the following year she joined the pre-primary programme at pei chun public school in lorong 6 toa payoh.
ida also started at foochow methodist church kindergarten before switching to attending the pcf kindergarten at the void deck of our block (104) at towner road. it seemed that she had not enjoyed the pre-school experience because of the discomfort she felt while riding the bus to the kindergarten at race course road.
i think for both of them the high point of their attendance at the kindergarten was their performance at the end of the school year's concerts where parents were invited to watch.

Got mistake. A lot of them actually.
We attended nursery at foochow methodist. The principal was one Mrs somebody who is related to Dr Gong. Auntie Anna worked at Heng Hwa Methodist Church's childcare where we went for a bit.... And Pei Chun was at Lorong 6 when we were there.
