How much $$$ do you spend on your Pre-schooler?

[golfer]

just want to have a rough guide.

how much are you spending on your child monthly school fee including those enrichment classes?
how much is primary school fee?

currently , i m spending $600 / mth for my kindergarten children. hope when they enter primary level , the expenses will reduce?

[golfer]

how much does it cost for home tuition for K1 level?

say 2 times a week , 1.5 hour each lesson .
to teach phonics and maths.

any good teacher to recommend ? in tpy area.

how much are you spending on your child's school fee to prepare him for primary school?


mine at K1 .

pcf kindergarten =$200
Mind Stretcher = $200
berries = $100
pcf chinese enrichment = $50

total $550 a month .

i hope when they enter primary school, the cost will reduce???

I don't know about enrichment and tuition when your child enters P1, but one thing for sure is that the school fees would be heavily reduced and that's really a load off. *** I am assuming that your are Singapore Citizen, that is. ***

is this thread about 'how much are you spending to prepare for PRIMARY school?' or \"how much you spent per month on education?\"


if it is the former, is 'swimming' or 'piano' considered as preparation for primary school? :?

if it is the latter, i think we have a similar one here.

Yes it will.

Especially if your children won't need additional tuition or not taking
up external/private enrichments outside the school's. CCAs in Pri
Sch these days are aplenty and majority are subsidized rates, in my
opinion. School fees itself as compared to pre-school years would be
cut down by like a LOT!

Pre-school is quite the most expensive time in a child's life.

Heyya golfer, why do you still need home coaching when your child
seems to already be having a lot.. i mean.. PCF kindy.. topped up
with Mind Stretcher and Berries + PCF Chinese Enrichment... and
he is only in K1? It seems more than sufficient in my view. PCF &
Mind Stretcher i assume would cover the Language, Phonics &
Grammar part for English... and Berries + PCF Chinese Enrichment
would have more than covered it already for Chinese focus... Hope
you don't mind me asking... :oops:
