Preschool Hunt the Conclusion

Im on my way to Robinsons Pioneer on the MRT, when i saw the banner of a preschool. I was suppose to meet Owie for lunch and its was only 11am. So I went to visit the Preschool, the name is Kiddo Academy, inside GA Tower at Edsa cor Boni Ave. Mandaluyong. I was looking for a playschool that accepts once a week session only. So when I got it in im instantly impressed with the facilities. Its is very spacious, clean and complete with all the education toys. Its the biggest ive seen so far. The play equipment are the same as gymboree's and there are 4 classrooms for each level. An AVR with 3 computers a huge TV and a stage where the kids can do thier circles and performances. There is a huge playroom with all the make pretend play, its a village that has a hospital, restaurant, beauty salon, groceries and even gas station. Just like dave's fun house in malls. All toys are safe for children. In my head I can already imagine that Jea would love it here.

So I went to the office and inquired on how much it will cost. Teacher Jo is very accomodating and showed me around. She also briefly discussed on the curricilum of the children. In the office I already saw the CCTV Monitor, and again I was impressed. Of all the schools Ive been through, most are so expensive. None has CCTV cameras in every room, what's even better is that when you enrolled your kid you are also given a software and password where you can watch your child from the internet.

The best part is the fee. Its still on 20% discount. The tuition that should have been around 60k is now at 39k for 3x a week. So my initial plan of once a week is now on a 3x week session. They also have an intensive program where you can leave the child form 8am to 6pm. This is really the best solution. Since my problem is nobody will be able to fetch her after class, sending her to school for a full day is the best solution. Of course i took into consideration that she will be so tired if its a full day, but I realized it is still better to leave my daughter to a professional (teacher and nurse) all day where she can learn, than to leave to a yaya.

So there my hunt for a preschool has come to an end. Ive decided to enroll her at Kiddo Academy.
