Tokidoki:
My advice is to visit the in school student care. it is very different from those setup outside the school. There's a reason why they can charge lower than outside rate.
I have not visited the student care @ the school yet but I have understood that the children are more comfortable with external operators for various reasons (esp those which also provide childcare).
For us, we just need that extra few hours so DD1 can have proper lunch, do her work before we pick her up. Knowing my girl, she works best when under external supervision (she wl not be picky on food or bargain to do less work when its really minimal -- not even 5mins effort). Thus, the effective & efficient arrangment will still be (1) finish daily work at SC (2) revision @ home if applicable (3) family time. We shall see and adjust accordingly when it comes

The external one which I am considering is charging $400
Guess different setup meets different situation. Have to check the place to see what's suit individual...

You already checked out EB's student care rate? I think most likely K1 will be home instead of going to BASC. I think he will miss his friends in cc.Student Care in NH @ $240 per mth:

We went to 2 centre on Mon.. understand more....
1. Academic - homework everyday.. I know because dh's nephew and niece are there. but we are not too comfortable with the environment.. abit messy and untidy.. food is cooked by a maid.. and simple meal..
2. Environment - Air-con.. caterer food. When we were there, one of the Teachers guided us through the surrounding.. neater, cleaner.. and is cheaper.. but we felt they might not be so academic driven.. as like no Teacher jagar-ing the students...
But we might go ahead with 2.. cos of the environment... not because is cheaper ya.. :oops: -
Castle House:
The student cares aren't air-conditioned and nap time. It looks like a scaled down tuition centre but with care facilities. DD's CC are air-con , spacious enough for each level to have their own classroom. own bathrooms, well maintained.
Why and what is it that you are not comfortable with?
What about the standard?
The thought of additional homework from student care is daunting. If DD has CCA, I have to work out the transport arrangement between student care and school. School holiday also need to go student care since it is an on-going arrangement. during school holidays , prefer DDs to go for week long external enrichments or games instead of being confined in student care.
the only student centre which appealed to me was out of the box but they have no transport arrangement ...
my 2 cents....
