I find that Gymboree is an avenue that provides your child a social platform to interact with other kids and also for you to take out time. Gymboree Play & Music programme provides a safe environment for kids aged between 0-5 years to play, explore helping them develop their cognitive, physical and social skills. They have various levels of classes for different age groups using play based activities. There classes provide a platform for kids to interact and play with each other. They also provide opportunity to parents to take part in the kid's classes and play with them, providing a good bonding time.

The teachers and the staff are very very nice. Through the years, we would say goodbye to teachers (which breaks our hearts) and say hello to new ones. But one thing never changed, somehow the teachers from Cambridge teach with all their heart. No amount of money can buy that. Thank you to everyone in Cambridge Alabang for loving our children.

If they had Dave's Funhouse back then, I would have been a happier kid. This place in SM Southmall…read morewhere parents can leave their kids to play is pretty cool. They have slides and ball pits, and different areas and costumes where children can dress up and play pretend. There's a mini salon, a mini wet market, a fire station and even a small nursery for those who want to pretend as mommies. For the big kids, they have computer and Wii area. For moms worrying about security, Dave's have a strict policy where they scan your fingerprint several times and the kids can only leave the premises when you (or whoever registered and dropped them off) pick them up. My nieces (ages 5 and up) have the best time when we drop them off there. Two hours inside and they still don't want to leave. I believe they allow kids as young as two to play there. I think my little girl is ready for that place, it's me who's not. Maybe I'll bring her one of these days... But I'll go too. I've always wanted to enter their play area anyway.

My daughter is entering school for the first time this school year as a Nursery II student. I was a…read morebit 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.
