Heard about mayter before. For me, I never consider kinddi that far away from home for my son no doubt a lot of good kinddi at the other part of cheras. Taking into consideration of petrol and time taken, the cost will be more or less equal to the fees of yuder. Another factor for me to consider is the travelling time for young kids. Too stressful for them, lah. They still need time to rest/nap. But need to prepare ourselves, once young kids go to kinddi, they are more prone sickness.

Frankly speaking, I can’t find any decent, established and good kinddi around pandan indah/taman putra for my son to learn, play and mix around with right crowd. So, i landed my son in yuder and I’m intended to sent him to chinese primary school.

karenyiau: yes you are right, we are in the same area, which I think the most decent choise would only be yuder/taska subuh, but it’s really pricey….. travelling time is what I have taken into consideration, I’m still undecisive between mayter & yuder now, really need to rethink before I enrol. Chinese primary school would be OnPong in Pandan Mewah I think.

Have you enrolled your son to any kinddi?

I just enrolled my son to yu der kindergarten (taska subuh). I also agreed that their fees on high side but however can claim part in income tax for purchase of books.

karenyiau: No not yet, I’m thinking to enroll him to mayter in taman tayton, i prefer the environment there and it’s cheaper than yuder, but only one thing the location is not nearby loh…… you staying near pandan indah?

the books fr sillypore? is the sch kinderland? my boys r in this sch.. its more establish in sgp, super expensive too!!

but i like the teachin method – learn thru play. no homework at all. mostly done in sch, only sch holidays he will bring home exercises to do daily. (e.g. write a-h durin the holidays daily.)

whn i free (i started working ^_~ ) i will scan up my price list for u to compare.. but mus remb this is MELAKA list.. abit cheaper den KL

karenyiau: thanks for sharing! the 1st time you heard it, didn’t you just almost fell off the chair? haihs…. me too have to redo my budget, and in the meantime, try to do more business to earn some pocket money also loh, hahahaha.

As long as the compound is clean, tidy and spacious for play, it’s alright for me.Oso mozzie free lah hopefully.

The rationale of uniform is to impose discipline and sense of responsibility as a student. some kindys mnagers dont believe in uniform (at least i met one here in my area).

Do check out the general population of parents who send their kids …if majority are working professionals and decent people..u can be rest assured it wont be a “rough and bad influence ” kind of community at the kindy. “the saying goes..like parents like child”. (sorry if i’m being bias here)

i reserve all the above strictly as my personal opinion and dont mean to hurt or condem anyone.

karenyiau: thanks for your sincere opinion, and yes i agree with you, at his young age (actually turning 3 only this Dec), i’d emphasis more on activities and learning through play, therefore i prefer montessories teaching. i’ve just visited another school few days ago and i like it so much, and i’ve decided to send him there, i’ll share more about this school in my next post, stay tuned.

karenyiau: hmmm…. i didn’t know that there are trial class? at least both kindy A & B never mentioned it. anyway i’m going to visit again during school days and find out how the classes are conducted etc.

karenyiau: yes will still scout around but most likely i will settle with kindy A because it’s the most decent one with reasonable fee (in compare with kindy B) in my area, others are quiet a distance away.

Just my 2c.

karenyiau: thanks vivian for your views, actually i have not much fuss about the monthly school fees of kindy B but just the n\books + misc fees too much. i just want a decent environment for dillon to play & study.
