my son is also at aroozoo, K1 picasso. I was so shock at the fees hike as well. can we parents do something about it? and as mention in the post below, they can also blatantly tell us to expect another fee hike in 2014!


i’m happy at the progress that my son is having at the centre but the fees are just getting ridiculous!

2012 Half Day Morning (7am to 1 pm): $1048.6 (including GST but before childcare subsidy of $150)


2013 Half Day Morning (7am to 1 p.m.): $1284 (including GST but before childcare subsidy of $150)

Increase of $235.4!

Anyone has any idea of the 2013 fees of Etonhouse and Chiltern House?

Is aroozoo the only center with such price increase?

This increase is quite ridiculous.

LAP 's branch also increased. i think it is across the board.

i did a calculation… 9% for full day and 10% half day.

the previous year was about 5% increment while most childcares did a more than 10% increment

Hi jetsetter,


Yes! Got the price increase circular fr them. And you are right about Aroozoo missing quite a fair bit of activities, keyboards and other facilities.

Only been there six months and I am asked to pay price increases amidst so many hiccups still not resolved! And also we pay for all the additional too don’t we?

There should be a cap to these. We parents are just victims of this system and the govt exp us to make more babies?! Imagine all three kids at the school, that would be a good middle class’s entire salary.

which PSH is this? does diff PSH have different rates? I am paying 1417.75 before subsidy for 7am to 530pm. Anyway, the form teacher doesn't even come in till 8+am.

[pishako]

anyway, this price increase is for all branches, right?


just a little disappointed that they are increasing annually; actually i heard other schools are also increasing fees. Unless you totally opt out of this category of preschools, else there isn’t much that we can do. I called up MCYS and it seemed like they do not regulate school fees at all, nor do they actually audit the quality of the curriculum. They only oversee the setting up and ensuring that the basic facilities are in order.

Yes, the rates for PSH is slightly different for different centres.
