Your Chinese lesson is very high priced considering your kid is only in K1. $120 per lesson for 1 hr? 2hr? I would think you can get decent Chinese lessons for K1 kid for <$50 per lesson.Per Month: For K1 $1402 per month..

Same for your swimmng lesson. If you go to swimming complex, can get for about $60-$70 per month and even those in condo charges about $80-$100.
Just my humble opinion....... :oops: no offence. -
Wah. Lucky I start my kids late, mostly after P4. So had saved quite a big sum...........

No secret lah. Just keep what is necessary and throw out the rest, even if you feel it's a waste to stop!I hv 2 preschoolers & ds in p2. Spending $1.3k/mth on enrichment only not including mthly kindy fees.

Then, also constantly keep a lookout for cheaper and ok alternatives!
So my ds1 only has music (this really cannot stop!), ds2 maths tuition and dd has phonics and ballet. -
Hi okosbaba
Pen88n was right. The swimming lesson & cl tuition is way too expensive. Yr kid is only in K1. U were right to say "it will get worse in p1". There r math, eng compo, cl comp… Another thing is yr kid might not hv time to attend so many enrichment once they r in pri.
Hi meiah
Thks. Same as u, I will look for cheaper alternative. Just stopped my son’s 1-1 eng & maths tuition ($220/mth) n put him in cheap gr tuition ($85/mth/2 subjects). My ds1 only attended few mths of kindy as we were in overseas for the past few yrs, therefore engaged 1-1 for him when he was in p1 just in case he can’t cope with sg standard. Will continue to monitor my kids’ progress, if ok will cut down or chg to cheaper ones. -

my child same age as yours: also K1.
$120 per lesson for K1 is far too ex! :yikes:
why not send him to \"Jiang lao shi\" or Han Language ?
Jiang lao shi: cost fees paid by per semester (6 months) ... around $23 per lesson. Content not bad. Weekday K1 class around 5 kids, taught by China teacher(s). At aged K1, they learn through fun interaction in small group.

Swimming
can bring your child to Tampines Sports meet swimming pool around $60 per mth.
at aged K1, whatever you can save - save for later future use. -
Hi, I suppose the fee of $200 for swimming lesson is for 1 to 1 private swim session, once the kid pick up the basic strokes, go for group of 2 or 3 will help to bring the fee down substantially, JMHO.

About $350 per child in one week. I used weekly easier to count. This is considered reduce liao compare to last time horse riding and golf lessons.

Hi all,
Currently looking around for enrichment classes for my 5 year old girl. Would like to know how are some of the more prominent enrichment centres charging? And are they really worth the price? (First-time mum, so I do not really know what is a reasonable price) Would appreciate most if you can share how often do these enrichment centres revise their fees.
Thank you so much! :salute:
