Biloulou, there's a playschool at Ridgewood, at the end of the cul de sac, in the small shopping center, called Corner Playhouse.  While they don't have a bus, you can VERY easily walk to it.  The hours for two-year olds are something like 9-11 am.  The school has both local and expats, but, more importantly, some very lovely teachers.  Oops, I just read that you were looking for a daycare center, so I don't know that my information helps you.  There's a school on Moonbeam Drive, right by Holland Village that has a bus, but I don't know it's hours.  There's also Kinderland at Pandan Valley and Pat's Playhouse at the side of Ridgewood, but I know nothing about there student make-up, hours, or bus services.

My 5 year old goes to Kinderland in Pandan Valley, hours 11.15 to 2.15.  There's a nice mix of local and expat kids.  Fees about $900 a term (4 terms per year).  There is a bus that picks up/drops off, but you'd have to ask the ladies there about that.  My daughter is very happy there.

Thank all of you for the information...
I am really sad that I have to remove Elliot from Pibo's school only because of a bus problem (it takes around 45 minutes (instead of 10 minutes by car or cab) from my place to the school just because the bus has to pick up one of the children at Host road which is very far away...  so all the other children are victims!) The idea to leave my 2 years old son in a bus 1 and half hour a day is unacceptable!
If anyone knows a private transport cie or want to share from himiko/Pandan Valley to Dunearm...  please contact me (62754500)

Mo3 -- You mentioned Corner Playhouse -- have you got children who go there? Do they like it? We're checking it out for my 2 year old so would appreciate your input - thanks

I would also like to give a plug for a preschool at the bottom of Pandan Valley, near the shops  (alongside Laurels Supermarket) - it's called Zesty Spot and both my daughters have attended there.  The teachers are so very lovely and patient with the children.  My 3 year old daughter wakes up every morning asking if she is going there today.  It is a lovely International Mix of children and my children have benefitted greatly from their time there.  Check it out.
