Pre-school fees

Agree. My son was in a normal private childcare centre, paid about $390 after subsidy. He had warm, committed teachers, nice friends and enjoyed his pre-school years.


Don’t be pressured to give your kids the "best" during this phase of their education. What you should do is to give them your time. If you have to work later to earn that money to send them to the expensive pre-schools, it’s not going to be worth it.

hi, can anyone advise if 750 for halfday cc after subsidy is considered too expensive? from what i read in this thread this seems to be above the mid-range?


thanks

hi choc chip, my DS full day cc is 920 before subsidy, 620 after. So 750 for just half day i think is definitely on the high side.

now got $390 cc meh? i thought prices have increased tremendously, by now?

hi cherrygal,


may i know which ccc your child attending that costs around $390 ? do they provide dinner for children ?

hi ConcernedDaddy, thanks for the feedback.. there was another half day cc which i was looking at thats 730 after subsidy but did not like their curriculum as much. its a bit late in the year to get a nursery slot for next year, most of the places in my area are full and doesnt seem like i have a lot of choices :frustrated:

hi choc chip,


is your $750 ccc after subsidy - a montessori ccc or just normal ccc ? if is normal, it’s very expensive!

hi phtthp


its not montessori. have read gd reviews abt this cc in this forum but that was dated a few years ago and not sure if things have changed since. visited the place, not too bad but prob will go down for a 2nd visit b4 i decide. sort of like the curriculum. i guess the main put-off is the price! :yikes:

no offense to anyone here, but i do wonder if the fees are priced higher than places cos there are quite a few expat kids in the sch.
