Hi Preciousthots,
The fare hike is $100 this time round. But, applicable for new intakes (phewwwww). I guess most CCs will review their fee structure every few years. Even under the same group, the fees charged are different (dependent on location & the rental they pay for the place, I guess).
I should say the teachers' T/O at my kids' branch is considered low as compared to some of the branches. The teachers at least follow-thro' the whole year so far.
Cirriculum wise - I find Agape stronger in Chinese than English which is a good complement for us as we speak mostly English at home.
In terms of discipline, my kids have no problem and the centre is always kept clean. My kids are also eating well in the CC.
I let my DD1 (in K1) join the additional classes - Art, English S & D( DD2 also join) & 3G Abacus. So far, my hb and I are quite happy with their progress there at this branch (tho' I've also heard of negative comments/ feedback from other parents).
So, I guess it all boils down to management of expectations.
Do visit the Ctrs of your choice, do your own observations & talk to the principal before you make your final decision.
Best of luck to you on your CC search
