How much $$$ do you spend on your Pre-schooler?

oops, for NAFA, don't forget there is about $160 of material fee per term. Actually, I have calculated the fee per month is [(1950+160) x 4 x 1.07] / 12mth = $750 per month. And need to pay for two months of shcool holiday as well :roll:

Hi there


I've checked with the admin with regards to payable fees during holidays. She emntioned that since the management has decided to charge on term basis, fees not payable during hoildays..

as of the rest of material fees, some Kindergartens charges more than NAFA. For one like trinity methodist..around $80 per term, both chinese and english readers to be paid separately.

so come to think about it, NAFA still ok. However if i want more enrichment classes for my daughter, dun think i will be able to afford.

also, did you know that they are looking into having a new playground next year? will be good to upgrade their facilities since they are charging this rate. :lol:

Hi Wonglady


Fee is charged on term basis, 4 terms a year including Jun and Dec, $1950 per term. May I know what did you mean that holiday is not payable?

Personally I like NAFA very much, if not for the revised fee, i would had let my girl stay. But the revised fee is too much for me to bear as I still want to give her enrichment classes for language and music besides going to NAFA.

Thanks for sharing!

private home schooling = $600
DAS lessons = $250
