Pre-school

[smilefever]

Hi,

What's the best Pre-school and medyo affordable naman ng mga may middle earning parents ranging to 30-35k combined income monthly ? Kayang kayanin basta good education sama na siguro available loans sa office and SSS Salary loans mapagtutulungan namin ng hubby ko. Thanks.

St. Scho, Taft Ave. ? Parang gusto ko duon eh...
Colegio Sta. Rosa ?

Kayo, san nag-aaral kids nyo? Please help. Thanks

Dati nag graduate ng pre-school ang daughter ko sa Our Lord's Grace Montessori. Maganda naman yung pre-school dun, maganda ang facilities tsaka yung mga teachers sa pre-school don, Montessori ang method talaga. Cute pa yung uniforms. Umalis sya dun Grade three sya, mga nasa 40 k yung tuition, pero balita ko sa high school nasa 60 k daw.

Yung cousins nya nasa Colegio de Sta. Rosa, about two years ago balita ko nasa 40 k na ang tuition sa elementary. Maganda din dun, medyo mahigpit compared to other catholic schools. Kasi sa ibang catholic schools, ang requirements lang birth certificate tsaka baptismal certificate. Pero sa Colegio, ang pagkakarinig ko, hihingan ka ng marriage certificate (am not sure kung preferred nilang married ang parents sa Catholic Church). Kaya yung mga single moms, or live-in couples, mahihirapan makakuha ng requirements.

Pero sa area ng Makati, maganda yang dalawang schools na yan. I haven't tried sa St. Scho pero syempre may pangalan din naman yang school na yan.

i talked to several young mums in our neighborhood. now it seems a child will have to study for FOUR school years before going to grade 1:

pre-school
nursery
kindergarten
preparatory

FOUR YEARS!!! and i was hoping i'd have at least four years to save up for matti's schooling. @#@$#! money-grabbers! they take all forms!!!

totoo ka dyan. Naalala ko num ako Kinder kaagad tapos Grade 1 kaagad. Tinuturuan lang ako ni Mommy sa bahay. okay naman ngayon am working na as junior officer. Talaga bang kailangan dumaan sa ganong level. Sa school ng anak ko may Nursey 1 & 2, Kinder 1 & 2. Tama ka may apat na level bago Grade 1. Kawawa nga mga bata pero paulit ulit lang din syempre may konting complicated na level pero tingin ko ganun pa rin.

AFAIK hindi naman talaga required na mag nursery and kinder. It will depend on the school you choose. They each have their requirements. In my son's case, the school requires that the child goes through prep before grade 1. As for nursery and kinder, my son skipped it all together. Instead we had him enrolled in a Kumon center. It worked for us.

my son who is almost 3 really enjoys his current pre-school sa The Learning Center sa Pilar St., San Juan, MM. hindi na nga nagki-kiss goodbye at diretso na kaagad sa classroom kapag hinahatid ko, unlike his first playgroup ng summer pre-school niya.

nasa bata kasi kung hiyang siya sa school. bale meron 3 pre-school na malapit dito sa amin at nang isinama ko siya hindi siya comfortable sa surroundings at ayaw magpabitaw. bale sinuyod namin halos lahat ng pre-schools from mandaluyong to san juan at sa 2 schools lang siya at ease. nagsummer sya sa isa at after sabi niya sa akin na ayaw na daw niya dun at pina-iiyak daw siya. so try naman kami sa isa at ayos siya dun.

maganda system sa TLC at hindi pinipilit ang bata. tapos malawak pa play area. may mandarin lessons pa. may special day activities na involved parents at enjoy nga din. tapos every friday may take-home-a-book at excited siya mag-uwi ng book. filled with lots of songs, arts and crafts ang 2 1/2 hours at siyempre may academic na kasama.

try to ask a lot of questions sa prospective school na gusto mo i-enroll sa anak mo, isama mo din siya para ma-familiar siya at part siya ng school searching process. bale 2 1/2 yrs old baby ko ng nag pre-school hunting kami at mga 2 schools a day pinuntahan namin at after 2 weeks ako nag-decide kung saan. try your child in a summer playgroup din para may transition from home to school.

i would send my son to a chinese school, kasi at this day and age my edge na talaga ang mga bata kung may alam syang ibang language aside from English and Tagalog.

Hi! I think for pre-school, you should really consider proximity, especially if classes for his/her age are really early.

Our son studies in Explorations preschool in Mandaluyong. It's been around for 5 years and their method is DAP (developmentally appropriate practice). Play through learning. If the teachers feel that your child is read to move into the next level (like reading and writing), he/she will be taught that.

All teaching depends on the development of the child.

They're really good. My son is happy there.
