After doing some readings and research on the net, I was able to narrow down my list of schools that I’m considering for Bela. We decided that we will visit Toddlers Unlimited and Cambridge Child Development Center. They are the only schools that have good feedbacks which offer 3x a week class for Bela’s age. All the schools that I contacted only offer a 5x a week schedule for Bela’s age group. As much as possible kse, I only want a 3x a week schedule for Bela this school year then move her up to a 5x a week schedule next school year when she is already 3.7 years old. Right now kse, I still feel that 5x a week schedule is too much for her age.
After our trial class at Cambdridge, I’m already leaning towards enrolling Bela for summer class at Toddlers Unlimited. But over lunch, my dad and I discussed the schedule if ever I will enroll Bela at TU. Class at TU starts at 9 AM and since we are far from Makati, they have to leave by 7:30 to arrive their on time. This means, Bela has to be awake by 6:30 – 7:00 AM. And the lolo think it is too early for Bela and they are worried that Bela might have a hard time with that set up.
So we decided to look for other schools in the QC area after lunch. One of Bela’s classmates at Little Gym is enrolled this coming summer class at Mind Specialist School at D. Tuazon, and so we decided to visit the school.
The school is nice – they have rooms for each class, they have a romp area which Bela really loves, each classroom has their own CR, they even have a security system where they have cameras in all the rooms so they can monitor the kids and the teachers, they have a waiting area for the parents and yayas, they have a computer room (kids have a computer class everyday), and audio visual room where students watch an audio presentation once a week. Maximum student per class is 15 and they have 1 teacher, one assistant teacher, 1 Chinese teacher and one yaya per class. My mom will accompany Bela tomorrow for her trial class there.
I like the school and I like the curriculum (they are also a progressive school) but they are more expensive than TU. But it is because they have a 5x a week schedule compared to 3x a week schedule of TU. My only concern is their 5x a week schedule but looks like I would have to consider a 5x a week schedule since my choices for good preschool that has a 3x a week schedule is really very limited.
We also visited Early Achiever’s Learning Center in Binondo and Sgt. Rivera. They have the same facilities as Mind Specialist and the same teacher to student ratio except they don’t have an assigned yaya per class. I was also reading their website, and I really like their curriculum and method of teaching. I just have to wait for their call tomorrow if they will allow us to have a trial class. Otherwise, I have to remove them from my list.
So I’m now down to Toddlers Unlimited, Mind Specialist and Early Achievers Learning Center. Hopefully, we will be able to make a decision soon. This would mean a heart to heart talk with my hubby and the lolo and lola who will be with Bela everyday during class.
