Hi Kat78, Im not sure abt PCF curriculum... but i personally think its how u feel abt putting her in full day cc or attend pcf & the rest of the day at home with the maid.

Pros & Cons when come to decide: -

Pros
1) Definitely, save abit of the sch fees, since you already have a maid there
2) Ur gal can rest more b4 attending class, dun nd to wake up early morning
3) U dun nd to send & pick her urself
4) Keep ur maid occupied at home

Cons
1) Less independent, as most of the times will be at home, the maid takes gd care of ur gal
2) Spend lesser time with her friends
3) Have to plan what to plan for her at home since most of the days at home
4) May keep ur maid too occupied until ur maid neglects some other work
5) Lesser knowledge or learning opportunity???? (subjective)

Maybe i do not have a maid, & i dont feel safe to have my kids staying at home with a maid unless there's other adult around in the house...

Just a 2cents worth comments

i dun feel safe leaving kids with maid too… if u can dun do that lor…

[kat78]

thanks for all your thoughts. really appreciate it.


my maid got to look after my twins. my elder girl is pretty independant, that is why i have the thoughts of leaving her in PCF and let her stay at hme for half a day.

tink i got to start looking for another CC as the current CC is really too ex.

Oh u got twins… that’s quite bz for ur maid… how she can handle twins?


PCF i think the most if 3-4hrs per day, when she’s back home, ur maid will be even busier…

which cc is DD currently in?

[qq77]

good morning,


kat78, how much you paying now?
mine gal cc cost me $450 per mth, then with enrichment classes that i opt for is $500 for english & chinese Speech and drama and phonics for 12 lessons each.

very costly for us loh.

maybe you can discuss with your hb and see which is a better solution.

[kat78]

my girl in LV... cost us ~$800 plus per mth with science class as an enrichment. On top of the CC, I send her to I CAN READ and also CMA. too costly per mth.


that is why either go to the expensive CC and no go enrichment... or go to a cheaper CC and go enrichment.

i also duno at the currently CC, is my girl learning anot. that's the headache part.

i also duno how my maid handle my twins during the day cozs she is the only one at hme. she had been with us for 1 yr alrdy. and my twins are happy with her.

Kat78,


Oic, u stayed in woodlands rite? Previously i stayed there too, & i sent my DS to MYMCA, both DH & I really like the centre, as they are non-profitable organisation, they tend to be really more caring and inclined towards the students… After subsidy, the sch fee is ard $310 excludes any enrichment class. & they provide gym & swimming classes at certain ages at quite a reasonable fees too…

I also just send DS to ICR @ Woodlands, how long has ur DD in ICR? Is CMA gd too? How much is the fees for CMA?

[Tjyt]

Wow Kat78, really "pei fu" … Ur twins oso abt 1+yr old, u really feel safe to let the maid take care of them…How do u noe tat?


DH & I still resistant to the idea of having a maid taking care of bb… my 3rd child due next Jan, we still thinking of the options we can do now…

CMA is good. I can see her progressing. She can tell me 6+3+1 = 10... or 6-3-2 = 1.. etc. Fees is $300 per term.
