Hey yaaa...
Few more days to a brand new year. Nah..no resolution that's bullshit. I don't resolute by end of the year cause my focus is to get my year-end bonus and shopping!😂
Anyway I came across a blog today about a mom who complained about Brainy Bunch. To summarize her story, she sent her son to the center and dissatisfied with many things. As a mother who fully rely on kindergarten/daycare during my working hours, I have something to share about this.
Dear mommy,
As you mentioned in your blog, you wanted your son to be exposed with Islamic teaching since young age so you chose Brainy Bunch. After 4 months, you then think....
1. The school fee is too expensive but your child learn nothing
2. You found out Brainy Bunch is like makan duit. Suda lagi mahal then a lot of hidden cost.
3. Go school trip also need to pay
4. The school like to cuti. Even public holiday also the school cuti
5. Extra ko-k such as Bengkel solat also need to pay
6. School held party, why ask parents bring food? No need money ke buy food?
7. School concert also need to pay for the kid's costume
8. 4 months at the school, doa makan pun tak abis
I did not send my kid to Brainy Bunch so it is not fair for me to evaluate them based on other's judgement and I do not want to judge others and I believe every parents may have different expectations. However, there are few things I think all parents need to bear in mind before enrolling their children to playschool/kindergarten especially those well-known with "pricey".
1. The school fee is too expensive but your child learn nothing.
Yes, it is expensive but dear mommy, your son don't learn overnight. 4 months is too early to comment about a child's progress. You maybe expecting your child to recite a-lif-ba-ta on his first week so that it worth every penny you spent, but don't you forget he is learning to socialize and be independent when away from you. That's also a development progress and wouldn't you think your son and his teachers deserved an applause for both their efforts? (you don't give I give, nahhhhh) 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
2. You then found out Brainy Bunch is like makan duit. Suda lagi mahal then a lot of hidden cost.
I won't deny this. No, I am not saying Brainy Bunch makan duit but it is common for most of the well known & expensive kindergarten to have extra activities that need parents to fork out extra money. Honestly if you are not ready for this, you will be unnecessary stressed up so better opt for another schools. To all new parents out there, be prepared as there will definitely extra cost that some kindergarten may not mention earlier. I don't call it hidden cost la, they are more like optional activities cost. I don't think the center would force you to join if you don't think it is necessary for your child.
3. Go school trip also need to pay
Amoi, you go holiday also need to spend money right?
4. The school like to cuti. Even public holiday also the school cuti
Teachers also employee just like you, takkan you boleh cuti on public holidays but not the teachers kan. Teachers also need a break mah come on.
5. Extra ko-k such as Bengkel solat also need to pay
I am pretty sure they won't force if you not keen.
6. School held party, why ask parents bring food? No need money ke buy those food?
Again, not sure bout Brainy Bunch but as I know ini they suggest parents to provide but tak paksa pun. Btw, anak you makan food yg mak org provide juga kan? hehe
7. School concert also need to pay for the kid's costume
Once a year saja sayang, can't we see this as a sweet memory as the amount you pay not just for the costume but food and concert CD for parents to keep.
8. 4 months at the school, doa makan pun tak abis
Anak I 1 year in Chinese school, baru pandai 5 ayat chinese. 😝
Oh I know I may sound against this mommy but please I am just sharing if you choose to enroll your child in those famous and expensive kindergarten/playschool, be prepared with the extra cost and please don't value the amount you pay with how much your child would learn. Called me a fussy mom but I have been visiting many (too many frankly) kindergarten/childcare before deciding to enroll my child to one. Maybe not the best to others, but it matches all the requirements my child needed for his development.
Lesson of the day: Do your own research and visit those center, ask questions to avoid misinterpretation. What matches your child's needs are what you should put your concern to, not glamorous and expensive fee. OK, Bye!🙈
