I believe she has retired

piyobaby:

Count yourselves lucky that the increase in fees was announced b4 your kids in mkg, we are caught right now since my son had juz been transferred to mkg tis year. Our hands are tied since it might not make sense to change school again which is like changing every year....

i understand what you mean.

I think MKG did not handle this issue properly. I think its unfair to raise the school fees for existing students. Existing students should continue with the current fees until they graduate. Thats what most other kindy do. They fix the school fees for the children until they graduate in k2. New students that come in next yr follow another set of school fees. I think its fairer like that.

Any parents registered ur kiddo to pre n next yr?

I was set on sending my son to mkg next yr for pre nursery, until they announced a raise in school fees by 50%.


The thing is, I went down to visit the kindly twice, and the second time being the day before they officially announced. The principal did not mention about the moving at all. I mean the reason why parents visit the school is to see the environment of the school. What’s e pt of visiting the school if my boy won’t be school there? And also every parent will consider the school fees before making a decision. So at the very least she could have give me a heads up that they will be revising the school fees, instead of letting me get a shock when I find that out myself on their website.

And there’s really no point in enrolling my son in the new school campus, without having a chance to see the environment for myself.

And to revise the school fees up by 50% is simply absurd.

The kindergarten is going to move to toa payoh next year. And they will increase their fees as well. Any parents who children are currently in marymount kindy knows what is the new school fee like?
