Preschool recommendation:
Globe Academy
8055 Estrella, San Antonio Village, Makati, 1203 Kalakhang Maynila
Phone: (02) 556 4944

Around 10 kids per class
Tuition is mid-range (especially compared to other good pre-schools around the area)
It's a small school (It's like a 2-story house converted to a school), one class per level in morning and afternoon sessions
Clean, airconditioned rooms
Teachers are friendly and know how to handle kids. They respond to texts
There's a small outdoor playground
Fetchers can wait outside (waiting area), but all fetchers must have a fetcher's card everyday
Accessible by commute or car (no parking though, so just drop off)
Inner gate is locked when classes are ongoing for security, with a dedicated helpers to assist people who want to come in

Good curriculumn. I notice they focus a lot in developing confidence in kids. My kid only speaks english so they encouraged her and during linggo ng wika, all kids presented in Tagalog! My kid told a joke in Tagalog They also have show-and-tell weeks (Star of the Week) to get the kids used to presenting simple things in class.
They have extracurricular classes you can enroll also like Ballet (for kids and even toddlers!) and indoor football.
There are toddler classes also, you can enroll any month (we enrolled January to prepare her for next school year for Nursery), with kids just singing, painting, and playing. Basically getting used to being in school with other kids.
They have summer classes too (art, reading, fun activities, math, etc)
Homework is per week, and more like to give parents a view on what they will be learning in the next week and go over it with their child
Exams are done in batches of students so teachers can monitor students well and go through the exam with them (batches of 3 per class, 45 minutes worksheet exam)
There are no numeric grades, just indicators if they are improving well enough, advanced for their age or needs more guidance.
Field trips are well organized too, with the whole school going
They use a mobile app to log your child's attendance (when they got to school and what time fetched, temperature)
The use the app to broadcast announcements too (these are also sent to your email). Very important announcements are also sent via SMS

Their TF ranges from 70-80k but that rate is for SY 2018-2019. Baka magtaas pa sila. I'm also considering this kasi I don't see anymore na malapit and ok ang curriculum. My husband is against kasi sa malalayong schools yung tipong magbyahe pa. Stressful daw para sa ganung age. Kung pagod ka na sa byahe palang baka hindi makapagfocus ang bata. I got his point naman kaso gusto ko sana big school talaga.

Hello! Any feedbacks/reviews for St. Paul Makati? My son is incoming Grade 1. We will be moving to Makati this summer. As far as i know, Traditional ang St. Paul. My worry is, super tamad magsulat ng anak ko

[desolate_cat]

Tanong ulit regarding IMC for grade 6 and 7 magkano na this year ang tuition nila, kumusta naman ang turo, would you say ok naman for the tuition? Masyado na kasing mataas ang tuition ng current school ng mga anak ko ililipat ko na.

[J.warner]

Tinatamad na ko mag google, sis ano na ba early education structure sa atin? Lol. Overseas kasi ako now but may balak kami mag stay sa Pinas eventually.
Nalilito ko ano ba una- kinder? Nursery then prep?
Like 3 years old kinder, then 4 nursery?
Sorry confusing for me kasi ako direcho grade 1 at age 6. Ngayon ata nirerequire nila mag kinder or prep

[Len0523]

Sa school ng anak ko, kinder sya (4 to 5 yo) then prep (yung prep ang required ng depEd) then grade 1.

[chicafabulosa]

Sa CSA its Nursery, then Junior Kinder and then Senior Kinder.

Any feedback sa IMC? I just inquired and their tuition is around 76-78k per year.

Ok ba ang turo? Medyo weird lang na yung grade 6 nila is half day, grade 7 onwards ang whole day.

Sis do you know how much ang tuition fee ng Nursery and anong age inaaccept nila?
Thank you

The child should be 3 yrs old. Alam ko mas mahal and pre school. During my child?s time around 120k yung nursery nya. But habang tumatagal mas mpnagmumura. Iba kasi rate ng old filipino students and old foreign students. And yung nga foreign students mas mahal sila kasi may class sila na for them lang.

Interested to send my daughter to CSA sa next school year. Is there a quota per class and do they accept transferees from other schools?

I have been very careful with our school options for my daughter. We wanted a non-sectarian school, a school that will let her embrace her love of learning and one that will not kill her creativity. Long and exhausting research we found GLOBE ACADEMY. The teachers were caring and understanding. Teacher Faith was an excellent directress. First few months I wanted to commend and recommend this school already but I wanted to be 100 % sure so now that my daughter is about to graduate, I will give what is due. As fir the tuition fee, it was reasonable considering that it includes books and uniforms already (around 50-60k) School is always clean so are the staff. It has a neighborhood vibe which is good jn my opinion since I wanted my daughter to feel at home and safe without being overwhelmed. They also do multiple charity works in a year. This is a mix of progressive and traditional approach since the school wants to prepare the kids for ?big schools?. Honestly, I wish they have elementary level as well since I?m having difficulty finding a school, they raised our standard for schools. I am a very practical mom so I don?t usually believe in high cost- great quality tandem and Globe Academy proved it right. My husband and I have plans to have another baby, and it won?t be difficult to find a pre-school now! Haha
Globe Academy is located at San Antonio Village Makati

Yes they do accept transferees from other schools. As per quote i know around 30 but never naman umabot ng 40 per class. But all the teachers naman are trained to handle big classes.
