How much $$$ do you spend on your Pre-schooler?
-
Just curious, what is the changes in expenditure after the child goes to pri school, lower primary and finally to upper primary?Is the expenditure going higher or lower?
Care to share?thanks -
golfer:
i hope when they enter primary school, the cost will reduce???
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.

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.golfer:
Heyya golfer, why do you still need home coaching when your childmine at K1 .
pcf kindergarten =$200
Mind Stretcher = $200
berries = $100
pcf chinese enrichment = $50
total $550 a month
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: -
buds:
no lah. just thinking of replacing all the enrichment lessons to home tuitions. 1 to 1 more efficient mah..

currently , i m spending $600 / mth for my kindergarten children. hope when they enter primary level , the expenses will reduce?Joy:
Preschool years are the most costly. My kids used to attend shichida, phonics, chinese, kumon, cma, gymnastics, chinese dance, ballet, swimming, arts, piano, ad hoc holiday programmes. Endless list, lost count of cost :lol:Just curious, what is the changes in expenditure after the child goes to pri school, lower primary and finally to upper primary?Is the expenditure going higher or lower?

Lower primary is the cheapest. Foundation should be strong by the time the child enters primary school. Can cut down on all academic enrichments. If time permits, can continue with a handful of non academic enrichments like piano or arts depending on the child's interest
Higher primary enrichments cost likely to surge again, in preparation for PSLE. Probably need to send to learning lab, creative writing classes, Maths olympiad classes, science camps, etc. Wow! -
Childcare centre: $460
Enrichment prog in childcare centre: $200
Shichida: $300
Total every month: $960 -

That's really a lot for a preschooler and lower primary kids!! Has the bar been raised so much or am I seriously out of touch, I wonder?
My P6 kid has only Chinese and English creative writing, Science tuition and piano, while my P4 kid is even worse. Only Chinese creative writing, swimming and violin.
Now I'm worried for my baby who is only 10 months. Wonder how many classes he has to attend next time. Better start saving up!
