      Dear parents,


      Thanks for your support. The petition has really got things going especially with article on Straits Times.

      Please continue to show your support. I am targeting 200 petitions before sending to the ministers, I am currently only at 20-30. Please send this to your friends, fellow parents etc.

      Regards,

      James

        Yes, journalists / reporters are actively reading this KSP forum website.


        dear parents,

        please continue to garner support of this important petition.
        Only when there is UNITY, then there is STRENGTH.

        we want to stop this MONOPOLY of high escalating, pre-school kindergarten school fees. Some of these kindergarten operators are not local, but foreigners.

          Parents up in arms over pre-school fee hikes
          Petition urges Govt to limit fee increases, form panel to oversee issue

          Published on Apr 23, 2012

          Ms Ruth Soh's daughter Caitlin attends Shaws Preschool, which increased its fees two years ago. However, Ms Soh was prepared for it as it announced the hike 18 months ahead, and the rise was gradual. -- PHOTO: COURTESY OF RUTH SOHBy Tay Suan Chiang
          Upset with frequent fee hikes by childcare centres and kindergartens, a group of parents have started a petition urging the authorities to step in.

          They are calling on the authorities to form a committee to oversee fee adjustments, and limit such increases to only once every two years.

          These parents said the fee hikes - which can go up to hundreds of dollars - can be a financial burden on them.

          Background story
          'No matter what the reason is, this price increase is unfair as parents would find it near impossible to refuse to submit to such a sudden move.'

          Mrs Vivien Tan, 68, whose five-year-old grandson attends Kinderland Preschool, which will raise fees in June
          They are especially upset with fee increases during the school year, which leave them little choice but to pay up to avoid the hassle of finding a new school.
