[quote=\"mummy of 2\"]The one DD attends will increase by $20 per month next year, but there's no change to curriculum leh....and this is the second increase in two years.

ya.. thought last year they just increased the price..

When are they going to increase? I did not receive anything about the increase in price.. does it mean the one that my kids are attending will not increase?

Keep your fingers :xedfingers:

I received a circular on the registration for existing students and the new fees were mentioned. I think PCF is trying to close the gap with private operator :rant:[/quote]ok.. :xedfingers:

\"SINGAPORE: A fee increase is in the pipeline at some People's Action Party (PAP) Community Foundation (PCF) kindergartens and childcare centres, especially those which are losing money.While fees will not increase \"across the board\", a PCF spokesperson told MediaCorp that a PCF branch may consider doing so with justifications such as new curricula or special programmes.
The spokesperson said in an email reply: \"The need to increase fees is based on the branch's finances. Sometimes, the fund-raising efforts by the advisers help to cover the cost of operations. But this is not the long-term solution...\"

Evil suggestion - if the adviser can't raise enough funds then donate part of his/ her MP allowance lol
I always thought PCF is under ah-gong's care, thus using ah-gong's $$... why they worry about $$ not enough?
If it's based on respective branch's finances... meaning the respective branch has no demand? Then open so many branches for what?

Just for argument sake...

Thats quite bad news

Totally agree but what to do?

Quit job to look after kids if salary (include transport fees+meals) lower than childcare fees.

soon we'll see taxi increasing fare again. after all, the COE has been climbing for >1yr.


the problem is that we happy happy drive the prop and coe price up...and then suffer coz veryone up prices due to higher operating cost....
