Student Care Closure

[lzxuan]

Hi all,


Appreciate whoever has the same experience can contribute:

My daughter is currently in a student care which located inside the school premises. Therefore, whenever school is closed for activities, the student center would need to be closed, example:

1. Pre-election day 6 May - 1 day
2. PSLE Oral exam - 2 days
3. PSLE listening exam - 1 days
4. PSLE exam - 5 days
5. Teacher’s day - 1 day

This make up a total of 10 days. As I understand from MCYS website, student care is allowed to close for 5.5 days a year. Any parents have the experience on this mind to share how the student care handle this?

On top of these closure, the student care charge $5 for every "extra" days that they need to open up for full day. Example, 9 May. Wonder why isn’t there a "give and take" in this scenario since 6 May is their "bonus" off day?

Thanks.

Hi


Usually for those dates you mentioned the Student Care (operating outside school premises) do not close except for teacher’s day .
Not sure for centre operating in school premises.

Under MCYS , Centres are allowed to close up to max 5.5 days per year . The centre are required to give parents amble time to look for alternative arrangement.

Any parents can share how the student care charge for school holiday? Per week basis? Per day basis? If the child were to send in only in the afternoon?
