How much would you pay for your child's enrichment courses?

[friendship]

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:

I track cost per week too.


I spend $620 per week for my N2 daughter, including kindergarten school fees.

School fees, Chinese class (3x a week), reading class (2x a week), gym, tennis, swimming, montessori maths, and soon piano.

I hope to cut down chinese and reading classes next year.

Without knowing the family income level and the no. of kids/age per household, and the what kind of tuitions and enrichments, the survey is useless…

ya true, this survey is not accurate.

It depends on the family income, the age group of the kids and how many children the family has.
How to compare on-going school children and the 6-years old below?

6-years old below have plenty of time to take all sort of enrichment.
On-going school children won’t have such luxury anymore as they have to spent whole afternoon in school.

I had the tutor come to my place and it’s all worth it. My children are more willing to learn and dare to ask questions during one-to-one tutoring. And I pay only $35/hr.

Try I-creative, I think it is worth every penny. My child enjoyed the classes and he is doing well in school now.

So sorry.. I haven't posted or even been around in the last 6 months.. Yes I know the Chinese was super high.. but I was at work till 10 pm most nights (hence lack of posts) daddy travels all the time only speak english with the maid.. also going to ang moh kindy (not ideal but it was for only 1 year whilst mad house at work..)

to clarify 120 dollars per week was for one on one lesson for 5 days for half an hour so only 24.00 dollars per lesson. which seemed resonable at the time..

Now the teacher is superb.. no one is complaining about his Chinese (I mean the kindergarten and in laws..) and we have reduced it to only 2 sessions per week at the teachers recommendation. He can read to about half way through P1 advanced Chinese book and recognises more characters than mummy..... so we are happy with the outcome $$$$ yes. but worth it.. :rahrah:

The swimming was with a private on one one too.. but since changed to a group class and much cheaper meh.. and a lot of improvement too.. sometimes when you don't have time.. one gets trapped into filling the kids days with so many stuff so that he doesn't miss his parents...
BIG MISTAKE on my part.. :sad: not so much the financial but rather the connection. lucky part time work is in the pipeline just have to last till March.
:nailbite:

If you get results still not so bad, worse is when the kids get bored and lack of interest. I am surprise there are parents who invest in horse ridding at this young age!
