      The other thread is regarding preschool. P1 is generally lower as there is no sch fee. So this money can be spent on other enrichment.

          [quote=\"mrswongtuition\"]How old is your child? There's a thread that shares how much we are spending on our kids.

          $700 is considered 'low' based on what other parents posted. Most of them spending like $1k and above...

          :!: The most I spent this year is a few hundred on assessment books and story books.

          I lack enough patient too my DD, thus I think it's a good way to let her join team to learn something...[/quote]I'm sure she is learning, lucky girl! 🙂 Forgot to mention, my DD is learning ballet at a CC (about $100/mth). I thought of getting a private violin teacher for my DD, but not sure where to look for a good one.

          I guess it will be harder to save money next year, cos DS is going to be P3. I am not sure if I can cope with teaching a toddler, the P1, and the P3 at home. Most likely will have to \"outsource\" too...

            If the child is enjoying and not stressed up by all the enrichment, and financially you’re not stressed up by the amount, then I guess it’s alright. $700 for so many things is not ex. I know many others who spend a lot more.

              Heard from friends before, there is teacher from Singapore Ochestra teaching violin at Tampines area (maybe Tampines mall?)

                Thank jce...sometimes I feel stress instead of my DD. I'm worry whether she can take so many things or not. It seems she enjoy most of things. Maybe I can cut the one she is not so interested in. Like Biligual...

                  I did a summary on my DD enrichment fee today, and got a little bit shocked...almost S$700 a month. it seems keep increasing...


                  dance
                  swimming
                  english
                  speech and drama
                  arts
                  piano
                  ...

                  How about the other parents...Do you think it's a normal, or I'm too kiasu and got crazy...

                  Our kids are same age 😄

                  Mine $400/mth, attending
                  Art
                  Speech
                  English
                  Chinese (creative writing)


                  Next year if time permits, may be continuing with swimming and piano. Both stopped for quite a while, no time. May be adding french. Still trying to work out her schedule. I'm trying to pursuade her to drop Orchestra in school. Twice a week practice is taking up too much time

                    Yes, I'm headache of her schedule now.

                    I send her to a holiday weiqi course, she likes the game now, and ask me to continoue for next term. Time is not enough la.

                      P2 boy <$200

                      oer mth about
                      1. $130++ for chinese enrichment
                      2. $60 for swimming

                      but my dh said the opportunity cost of me being a SAHM is already way higher than having more enrichment. :roll:
