Schools in Marikina and within marcos hi-way

[girl168]

I'm enrolling my 2 kids this coming school year to Mother Goose Playskool - Marikina. I got impressed with the facilities and the credentials of the school director. You can visit their website at www.mothergooseplayskool.com. They are one of the few schools who are affiliated by the American Montessori Society. I hope this helps and good luck on your school hunting.

For those who are looking for an affordable preschool in Marikina, there's Sweet Pickles. The tuition fee is only 28k (if they are not increasing it for this school year). UP and Ateneo graduates ang nagtuturo (daw).

Try to google for it. The one I talked to over the phone seems nice naman.

@princessmia08 : where is sweet pickles? and how much is it? Thanks

[longing]

i'm from provident and the place is now ok.  i have a lot of neighbors who goes to MGP, when Ondoy struck the area, they have to move talaga to different branches pero now ok na ulit ang mga kids. since we're from the place, 1st choice ko din Mother Goose at least same community and hindi mahirapan si baby (she's less than 2 y/o) na magbyahe.

[maricar14]

Sis, around how much ang tuition in MGP?

[leslee_santos]

does anyone knows The Learning House Preschool in champaca corner galaxy st. meteor homes sud, marikina? any feedback?

[pepay]

my daughter is studying in Mother Goose Playskool, Marikina. She started with MGP Marikina when she was 2-years old pa lang and now she is 6 years old na, a graduating preschool student this March.  This school year, Grade 1 na siya and sa MGP Marikina pa din.

I enrolled my son in OB Montessori Pagsasarili for nursery and kinder kasi malapit lang sa amin but when he took the entrance exam for prep in marist medyo nahirapan sya. so super review kami ng reading at writing. Luckily he passed the entrance exam but when the school year starts he was advised to attend a remedial class for reading comprehension. I regret enrolling my daughter here also but i am already transferring her to ISYC kahit mahal worth it naman kasi mga honors sa school ang mga graduates.

[arjeeh]

^ thanks sis super_maldita. will take note of this. Kaya nga ngayon even though we have enough money to enroll my daughter to OB since it is also close to our area, hubby and I decided to continue on saving money para we can enroll our daughter to a better school. Maganda na rin kasi yung sigurado.

hi, sorry for the late post:

The Sweet Pickles Kiddie House
37 Mansanas St., Marist Village, Marikina Heights, Marikina, Metro Manila
Tel: 941-75-45

Never tried it ah. Good feedbacks lang from neighbors.

^Personally, I wouldn't recommend SWEET PICKLES.
Actually it was my sister who let me know about the bad incident happened to her son before and told me choose whatever school WAG LANG sweet pickles!

Why?

Although my pamangkin is potty trained when enrolled there....when my sister fetched him from school she noticed that her son shorts is different. So she asked the teacher, and teacher told her something like: "humiram po sya ng shorts sa classmate nya". Of course my sister asked why, and teacher told her: "umihi anak nyo sa shorts nya". Knowing her son who does not make accidents like this, asked teacher what happened bago magwiwi. Middle of lesson yata he wanted to pee so he raised his hand as per instruction by the teacher. So teacher told him he may go to the CR. Child got back na wet na pants. So my sister figured na, He was alone no teacher to atleast accompany him. Take note he was only 2-3yo at that time. And since he cannot reached for the light switch yet, he maybe got scared (Ang alam ko dapat lagi opened ang lights especially sa CR dahil yun nga hindi abot ng mga bata yung switch) and maybe rin he cannot unbotton or alisin yung belt (if meron), then siguro ihing ihi na sya, nawiwi na lang sya sa pants nya.

So tama nga wala nag aasist man lang sa mga bata....

Hayyy so nilipat na lang ng sister ko anak nya... I mean bata yung mga yun, bakit nga naman wala man mag accompany. Kesehodang marunong o hindi pa marunong yung bata mag wiwi on their own...sana meron nag aassist sakanila if they need any help etc...

Ayun ang feedback...

[trinity94]

^i dont know Sweet Pickles, but i believe it is wrong to judge the school from that wiwi incident, esp that the story had a lot of 'maybe's' in it....

i just want to ask, did the teacher say the kid was sent to the CR without any assistance from the teacher or asst teacher?... how did your sister 'figure out' that the child was let alone?... did she ask where the other teacher was at the time this happened?

my son is also potty trained when he entered nursery but there were instances that he also wet his pants, and i didnt blame the teacher for it... minsan ang kids, esp pag exciting ang lessons, they wait for the last minute before they go to the CR... besides, when potty training, dapat ituro din ang pagbukas ng buttons and or let the child wear garterized pants... so what happened to your sister's kid is not an isolated case and should not be a reason to discourage others from trying the school... if i were a valid reason, there wont be any pre-school left in our country...

[leslee_santos]

The Learning House Pre-school ba malayo sa marcos hi-way?

hi sis...

im not saying, based from my sister's story na wag na itry ienroll ang mga bata sa school na yun. All im saying eh yung feedback po ng sister ko with that school. And its not good.

There are a lot of "maybe" sa pagkakwento kase ako yung nagkwento sainyo and not my sister. Mga thought ko yun, not my sister. Na baka siguro ganto ang nangyari kaya nawiwi ang bata. Ang inisip lang po ng sister ko eh baka wala nag accompany sa pamngkin ko sa CR kaya nawiwi sya sa pants nya. Then I thought na since according sa sister ko na baka wala nag assist or accompany, madilim yung cr at hindi nya naabot yung switch ng light kaya nawiwi na lang sya sa pants nya. Ako po ang nag isip nun. Kase kung tutuusin, dapat naman talaga may nag aacompany sa mga bata kahit na pa informed sila marunong na umihi on thir own. Mano man lang naiopen ang lights for them or ask them if they need anything. Kaso naisip ko baka naman konti lang ang teacher or baka isa lang kaya hindi masamahan ang bata that time kase hindi nya pwede iwan yung ibang mga bata.

You're right sis, syempre there are kids talaga who accidentally wet their pants and of course hindi po yun kasalanan ng teacher. The teacher told my sister what happened. Her son raised his hands that he wanted to go to the CR. I guess hindi po siguro mag react yung sister ko na sending her son to a different school if sinabihan sya ng teacher na sinamahan yung anak nya sa CR.

I am not discouraging others not to enroll their kids in this school. Yung kwento ko po eh feedback lang po ng kapatid ko sa school na yun. May good feedbacks and bad feedbacks. Nagkataon lang yung sa sister ko eh bad.

Yun lang po.
