The pre-school education is really very expensive in Klang Valley, and parents need to spend a lot during enrolment and for each subsequent months.
We've decided to let our kid attend the Montessori pre-school programme so that he can learn and master the 3 neccessary languages commonly used in Malaysia: English, Chinese and Malay. At the same time, it provides opportunity for him to play around with classmates from different ethics of Chinese, Indian and Malay.
Therefore, although the pre-school education is really very expensive, we still have to spend it.
PS: We feel sad that there are still some political gaffes trying to separate people from different ethics and/or religions who live in this same piece of land for so many years, and we really hope that our current and next generation can mix and unite together as Malaysian. Those political gaffes who like to create issue and tension should feel shameful to see the little boys and girls of young age can befriend and play around with each other without separation of ethics or religion.
It is one of the best, I sent my daughter last year. It is very expensive, but make sure your kids can read after the first year.

ReplyDeleteMy friend sent her 5 year old daughter to a much cheaper kindergarten in Taman Sri Sinar (near Segambut area). Registration fee RM 50 (inclusive of registration fee, insurance and 2 sets of uniform & 1 set of P.E. T-shirt). Need to place RM 350 deposit which is refundable at the end of year when school ends. Monthly school fee is RM 250. In total she pays RM 650 in which RM 350 is refundable. She personally sends her daughter to school.
ReplyDeleteActually my friend's one, RM 50 enrolment fee, also includes textbooks (they print their own textbooks). So, RM 50 is inclusive of registration fee, textbooks, insurance and 2 sets of uniform & 1 set of P.E. T-shirt. Unbelievable cheap!!! They also apply Montessori Method in their kindergarten.
ReplyDeletefrom my view - parents have to observe whether the school really provide a "montessori method". I sent my kid of 3 years old to one montessori in ampang, the Head if one Mat Salleh - Registration fee - RM1,000 (non-refundable), Annual Fee - RM2,500 (non-refundable), uniform- RM70, school bag-rm40, monthly fee from 8.30am to 6.30pm - rm700. Initial month Total: rm4,310. (much more expensive than my parent paid for my Uni time)

Guess parents missed a very important element in Montessori syllabus: child learn to be independent (other than the language, numerical skills etc etc). Don't u people notice, today, our uni grads still need to be fed, can't stand alone...? yes, of course, it is expensive, good things are no cheap! Parents, you should change your mentality!
ReplyDeleteAbout the racial polarization issue: sorry, I beg to be different! The non is being thrown with remarks (by the majority), which is disgusting to me, & I really hate the policies of this Bolehland practices. So, be it. I will explain to my child why this happens, and for the time being, I am not in favor of mixing with these "people". Sorry, I am not racist but the environment makes me & leave me no choice.
