      Student Care in NH @ $240 per mth:

      1) Not allowed to shower after class
      2) Lunch and Snacks catered from Canteen Operators
      3) In classroom most of the time, so must wear socks & shoe
      4) Playtime is only after 5pm

      Student Care in DS's CC @ $350 per mth:
      1) Can shower
      2) Fully aircon
      3) Homecooked meal
      4) 1 hr to do homework (only)
      5) Playtime starts from 4pm (outdoor play, water play etc)

      Both also got pros & cons. Which one would you recommend?

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

          Student Care 1

          - shower within premise
          - No Naptime
          - has tuition
          - If need Student care to fetch DD, need additional money.
          - School Holidays - it will be additional $5 per day + materials cost
          - classroom quite cramp
          - I went and noticed the teacher just sits at a side and tells the kids to do their homework
          - the sch was walking distance to the primary which I came from so dont need bus arrangement

          Student Care 2
          - No shower within premise i think
          - very cramp 1 common area for all primary to mingle with.
          - changing area is within the community centre
          - No nap
          - have to arrange for bus transport , if DD has CCA. monthly stays the same but will need to arrange bus transport for DD for her CCA. additional $$$
          - Tuition included. There will be homework from student care as well

            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.

              so far, 2 of my colleagues withdraw from student care that gives homework. the kids could not cope with hmwork from school, where got time for student care's one.

                  I would choose...2 I asked dh the same question... academic more important or environment?

                  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:

                    Why and what is it that you are not comfortable with?

                    What about the standard?
                    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.

                    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....

                      i juz kpo ask teacher huileng for the brochure to compare. šŸ˜‰

                      imagine so much playtime, even waterplay. i think my DS will enjoy if send him there.

                      but likely send to my mum's place, FOC. :evil: need to cancel all his SCV cartoon channel if he dun do his hmwork first.

                        Errr.. thought when they are in Primary.. should have no nap le.. Mine has passed through the nap period.. he had not been taking his nap since this year onwards..

                        We did think of enrichment class.. but logistics will be an issue.. who is going to send him there.. and pick him up...

                        Still thinking and considering..
