Hunting for a Preschool

Interesting comments from parents... Many parents read blog and forums these days to get a sense of the preschool they wanna send their child to. I recommend reading these forums but making a few trips to go down and see the centre is most important. My tips as follows:

1) Scan the various forums on preschool to get a sense of where to send your child. Select 5-7.

See typical forum and comments here... http://preschool.sg/?p=2368

2) Call them up and enquire abt 1) Curriculum, 2) Fees 3) Enrollment size and if centre is full (this is imposrtant for you to decide if you wanna visit the location and how urgent to put your child in. If urgent, then a centre with waiting list will not work and you may want o skip centre or prioritise it lower. 4) training of teachers etc

3) Pick 3 to visit which you are most comfortable and suits your budget.

4) Visit the 3 centres on your own and with your child. Visit a centre at least 3 times. Talk to Principal + teacher of your class.

5) Check for more comments on internet of the centre.

(REMEMBER- there is no perfect preschool but most important is for your child to enjoy learning and learn from the centre! :) )

Enjoy the hunt!
