My daughter is entering school for the first time this school year as a Nursery II student. I was a bit hesitant to start her off so early at 3 years old, but I was more concerned about developing her social skills so I started looking for schools. We've seen several great preschools in Paranaque and in Makati but this is really the one where we felt that it was a perfect match.
First off, they had one of the longest trial classes. They offered it for a whole week and gave it another 2-week extension. In that time, my daughter go to know the teachers really well and started forming a bond with some of her "classmates".
Second, the teachers are really caring. I sat in during the last day of her trial class and saw how responsive the head teacher was. They have a low student to teacher ratio 1:7 which is really ideal for kids this young.
Third, I love that it's a real international school. They've had their preschool in the US for 10 years and have been voted as the best in the state. They've even started expanding to two other states. The Philippines is their first international location.
Finally, they have a supplemental Headstart program to prepare the students for the start of the school year.
The tuition fee is affordable for all that it offers. While they are relatively new here, their methods are already tried and tested. I recommend them for any parent with preschool-aged kids. read more
