Hi are there any SAHM here with toddlers/babies of similar age who would like play dates when there is no school?. Or would just want to have lunch. My older son is in the morning session and 30 months and the younger one is 9months old.
Hihi, I am a SAHM but my son is attending Nursery in the PM session. I have a bb girl who is turning 10mths old soon, July bb. -

Meowie323…Now I am really concerned about that, my guess is that mkg is housed in a building on its own although they will be sharing the same premise similar to the current site wif the only exception of the MPH which is in the administration blk? Hopefully so as I am pretty sure mkg is always very vigilant on safety and security of the children so not likely they will compromise on tis aspect.

I was set on sending my son to mkg next yr for pre nursery, until they announced a raise in school fees by 50%.
The thing is, I went down to visit the kindly twice, and the second time being the day before they officially announced. The principal did not mention about the moving at all. I mean the reason why parents visit the school is to see the environment of the school. What’s e pt of visiting the school if my boy won’t be school there? And also every parent will consider the school fees before making a decision. So at the very least she could have give me a heads up that they will be revising the school fees, instead of letting me get a shock when I find that out myself on their website.
And there’s really no point in enrolling my son in the new school campus, without having a chance to see the environment for myself.
And to revise the school fees up by 50% is simply absurd. -

The fee hike is 30% for 2014 and another further 20% for 2015. It is considered expensive, in my opinion, especially when the teacher: student ratio is quite high (24:2)I was set on sending my son to mkg next yr for pre nursery, until they announced a raise in school fees by 50%.

My friend had called and enquired if they were shifting as she saw the new construction in TPY. But none of the staff told us so...and we were planning to sign our kids together, until we read this. So we are back to the drawing board again...need to start school hunt... -
How much is Marymount current school fees today, for k1 / k2 ?
-
i was also set on transferring my dd to MMK next yr.
But now with the increase of fees over the next 2 yrs, i am also reconsidering if i should send her there… -
Count yourselves lucky that the increase in fees was announced b4 your kids in mkg, we are caught right now since my son had juz been transferred to mkg tis year. Our hands are tied since it might not make sense to change school again which is like changing every year....

i understand what you mean.
I think MKG did not handle this issue properly. I think its unfair to raise the school fees for existing students. Existing students should continue with the current fees until they graduate. Thats what most other kindy do. They fix the school fees for the children until they graduate in k2. New students that come in next yr follow another set of school fees. I think its fairer like that. -
Guess from their perspective it’s a take it or leave it situation since they shd hv no lack of students from their waitlist.
It is understandable to increase fees but such a steep increase came as a big surprise. I supposed they will not ever offer to retain old rates for current students since the difference from the increase would worked out to be quite an magnificent sum.
Fee increase is juz one of the issue, safety & security is the main concern.
