Hello, I am looking for a child care centre in the Yishun/ Sembawang/ Woodlands vicinity for my child. Looking at this thread,I noticed that Emmanuel's fees for full-day child care was $680 (before subsidy) in 2010. According to the MCYS child care website, it is now $800 (before subsidy). This is an increase of $120 in two years. Are such price jumps common in childcare centres yet? Or were there some reasons behind the increases, eg. overhaul of the curriculum, new programs, new facilities etc? This is one of the centres I shortlisted (its within easy walking distance for me), however, I am concerned that the fees might continually increase over the next few years in this unpredictable economy.
Hey Astro, with reference to the teachers' command of the language, do you mean that they speak ungrammatically? Or, despite speaking grammatically, its not clear what they are to say? Or did you mean something else altogether?
