   hi mommies. my son is throwing a long tantrums this past few days, as in marunong na syang magalit. and saying NO to everything we offer. hindi na sya madaling utuin. am alarmed with his acts. do you think makakatulong sa kanya if enroll ko siya sa preschool. my son is 2y4m. old.

Hi there! Normal naman sa age niya ang NOs [textspeak!] very possessive ang stage na yan. Wag mo i-enroll muna sa preschool [textspeak!] it can happen na lalala ang tantrums paghindi pa ready ang bata. The best way is pa assess mo sa developmental pediatrician. You can know if he'll need behavioural therapy. Malalaman mo rin kung advanced or delayed ang anak mo in all aspects. Sila magrerecommend ng school to his specific needs. When my son was 2, grabe din tantrums bec. he couldn't talk. He was delayed 5 months in speech so the approach done was 1 on 1. Kahit sa behavior, 1 on 1 yan. In 3 months time he was able to talk and express what he wanted. Hindi siya sa mga daycare inenroll but a professional Speech therapist and Occupational Therapist... Kaya nagtatantrums anak ko noon because he cannot express what he wanted to say. They will also teach you how to handle the tantrums para di lumala and correct it. If you are from Marikina or near that area, go to Dra. Villadolid sa Victoria Hospital. The hospital is not sosyal but she is really good. Mahirap kumuha ng sched, so u better make time for it and sipagan ang follow ups. Before I enroll my child to saling ket-ket to get ready for pre-school, papaassess ko ulit kung ready na ba talaga siya especially the behavior. Syempre, para credible talaga at hindi trial and error ang gagawin mo.

^  Somebody once posted that it follows the multiple intelligences approach of Howard Gardner.  It is located along Maginhawa Street across or almost cross Holy Family School, if I am not mistaken.

^ Oh, too bad.  There are other schools along the area like Claret, Holy Family, Nest, The Learning Tree, Torch of Life (or something that sounds like it) and Mayfield Montessori.

Hi mommies,
Im in search of a preschool as well for my daughter. She's turning 3 on june so her age is just in time for nursery stage. I have been to lot of schools here in san juan area, some are chinese which i dont really prefer since were not chinese, and some are too pricey. I came about kinderhall in addition hills, i was wondering if any of you have feedbacks or reviews about it? The school was clean, seemed child friendly, their toilets were clean, they have a big room for playtime. And their tuition fee is reasonably fair. I hope to get a feedback cause i want my daughter in good hands! Thanks!!

You can try Twinkle Toes Ballet and Music Academy in Fairview QC, they have a different approach non traditional approach they even have special programs for kids 1 and 1/2 to 3yrs old based from their School program from London, they combine Baby Ballet, Baby Hiphop, Baby Yoga, with their regular nursery classes. They have a promo now at Pinoy Vouchers 6,000 na lang yung 24 sessions instead of 12,000.

^yup ok naman. proximity wise it's the perfect location since isang tumbling away lang kami.

socially, i've seen her and her classmates really bloom by the end of the school year. there were some na iyakin at the start of the school and ni hindi makatingin sa eyes mo when you talk to them, but later on they'll be the first one to approach you and talk to you. like what they say a gymboree preschooler is "curious, confident, cooperative, persevering and a good communicator". i've seen all of those in S. Nasobrahan lang ata sa curiosity and confidence  :D that it gets on my nerves sometimes (thats a whole different story).

but (may "but" talaga), academic-wise, i'd rate it average-above average, lalo na if you'd compare it to traditional schools. yeah i know it's not fair to compare a progressive to a traditional since the approach is different. though i've seen some worksheets of my kids' friends or heard feedbacks from them, im not sure how different their lessons are from the traditional ones (they ended the year learning how to tell time and do basic addition and subtraction). pero parang nakukulangan ako or maybe I'm expecting too much from S? but i guess they really try to teach the lessons based on the students' pace, hindi minamadali. I like though how they cultivated and developed the love of learning of the kids.

Re progress report, they have semestral assessment and PTA with the teacher. But even before this, the teacher would tell you if a student has problems with a topic and they'll ask you if you can reinforce this at home. They believe that learning does not end in school and highly encourage it that parents run through the lessons with their kids from time to time. sometimes they send home worksheets but nothing along the lines of the assignments they give in other schools. usually just a page or two and no pressure to do it if the kid is not up to it.

The teachers also email weekly newsletters (with pictures) on what they discussed during the week and what to expect the next week. They tackle 1 book at the start of the week and try to incorporate it with their lessons. Like when the week they discussed about amphibians, they had the Frog Prince as their story book of the week. Same goes with school activities. When they discussed about reptiles, they scheduled a field trip to the crocodile farm. Or when they discussed about the community helpers, they visited the police and fire stations nearby. They also incorporate their core classes which I like. My husband was surprised when my daughter was humming an old nursery song my husband is familiar with. She said she learned it in class when they were discussing Eastern European music.

Hi Jachanso, have you inquired in Child Matters? It's inside Horseshoe Village. They do not have Chinese in their regular curriculum and teaching method is progressive. (Chinese is offered as an extra class so payment is separate and classes are held after school for 30 minutes, 2x a week)

My daughter went there last year for preschool. For me, ok yung school. I especially like the fact that they stress the importance of reading because I am big on books as well. Aside from the daily read-alongs, they also have a "book club" of sorts wherein each student brings home a book every month and a parent (or both) are required to read and discuss the story with the child. They have a library inside the classroom so the students can sit down and read during free time. Facilities-wise, the playground isn't that big but the "rides" are adequate. The classrooms are big, especially since they only allow maximum of 10 students per class if I'm not mistaken. They also hold care-giver seminars for the yayas (2x for the school year) free of charge (or baka kasama na sa tuition :) ). 1 main teacher + 1 assistant teacher per class.

Another thing I really liked was the genuine love and care the principal has for the kids. She treats them like her own which to me, as a parent is a really big deal. Alam kong alagang alaga ang anak ko. The teachers and staff are like one big family. I'm planning on sending my bunso there as well next year when she turns 4.

@golden myrr, this thread is about preschools, not elementary schools.  Nevertheless, you may wish to visit Everest Academy.  It is a Catholic school with an international curriculum.  They are working on getting IB certification.  The school community is very small since there are only 15-20 students per class.  I have visited the school several times and found the kids very well-behaved and polite. The priests in the administration office are friendly, grandfatherly and engaging.

Tuition fee is around 200,000 + capital development fee + matriculation fee for first-time enrollees.

Everest is at the back of Summit School, very near ISM.  It has a website, search mo na lang.

Hi guys! Just needing some insight and shock absorber na rin about my little girl who just started attending nursery class last monday. She's turning three this july. Ano kayang magandang approach sa kanya para maiwan ko na siya sa classroom, she's on her third day pa lang naman. And second, kapag nakikita niya yung swing at slide na nasa harap lang ng classroom, pilitan na ang pagpasok niya sa classroom. I'm a single parent kaya nahihirapan akong magdisiplina, wala siyang takot sakin. Help, naiistress nako.

^bring her a little earlier before her classes start. That way she can play before heading to the classroom. Just make sure that you make it clear to her that when teacher calls her she should stop playing and go inside.
