Preschools in QuezonCity III

[iamjoanni]

My daughter goes to Progressive Little Saints in New Manila. It is inside the Rolling Hills village. We liked it there because:
1) It is inside the village so parking is not a problem.
2) 2 teachers / 1 teacher , 1 helper: 10-12 students
3) They have an indoor playground, a sandbox, and water table.
4) They focus on the child's development and uses Montessori materials. My daughter's evaluation as a Senior Nursery is done by making her put some blocks (with holes) in a thread for 1 minute, make her identify small and big letters, make her write/draw etc, They also ask students to do artworks/craft every day. Their typical schedule would include
> 30 minutes warm-up play time
> 30 minutes reading / storytelling / lesson intro
> 30 minutes arts and craft
> 15 minutes break
> 15 minutes nap time
> 30 minutes playground/sandbox/water table
> 30 minutes closing / movie / etc,

My daughter loves this school so much, she cries when we pick her up 

Annual Tuition is around 70-80k but it includes all the materials needed for the lessons. The only additional thing we buy is costume if they have a program (Filipino day / Christmas presentation)

Hi. Yung Growing Place ba okay security-wise? Like may guard and all? Sa Falcon pre-school kasi minsan meron, minsan wala. Nakaka worry.

Sis Miss Granger 115K ang Preschool sa Raya, I would like to recommend The Growing Place near FEU. Medyo back read ka nalang ng konti. Or use search button (para makita mo reviews ng ibang Moms). Dito nag aral ang anak ko. Actually dito ko din yan na discover. Nothing but good words talaga for that school.

Sis acqua, meron sis. Saan mo na na-enroll kid mo?

[Miss Granger]

Sis Acqua sobrang taas na pala ng tuition sa Raya. Pero ang gaganda ng reviews. Nad medyo malayo na siya sa amin, madami nga reviews for TGP. Thanks!

My daughter is currently attending  they call it bookwagon class. monthly sessions at the Nest progressive school in quezon city tuition fee is P7500 or P90,000 for 12 months. I love the teacher student ratio.

Does anyone know if The Growing Place is still operational? They have an FB page but they haven't posted since 2014 pa ata. I also tried searching for their contact number in google but can't find a reliable site.

I highly recommend Mind at Work progressive school in Fairview Q. C. At mind at work kids are not so stressed while learning. Values, respect, love of God and love of others are highly imposed and being followed. Kids are not being discriminated, they are treated equally even if they have special needs, they are treated with care. Also staff and teachers at Mind at Work, mind their work

Hi sis,

My son is turning 4 this coming May. I'm currently looking for preschools. Do you have any school suggestions? Preferably Lagro and Fairview Quezon City. Hope to receive your responses soon. Thanks 

I highly recommend Mind at Work progressive school. They are located at 2nd Floor College Square Dormitory Lyric cor Reglado Ave., Fairview Q.C.

Sis, yes they are. Hindi sila active sa Facebook account (business page) nila eh. Balikan kita sis ask ko yung working landline nila.  

Edit to add: Ito pala sis 938-9536 sayang hindi na pala makaka sit in kasi practice na sila for moving up. Sorry late ko na din na visit yung thread. Highly recommended ko talaga itong school na ito. 

[o9kristin]

^thank you sis! I?ll call them later. Do they offer summer class kaya?

[swtgrl_bee]

Yes meron silang summer classes.

We went to 3 schools last Tue. First TGP. Wala na slot. As early as Feb puno na slots nila since very limited lang ang kaya i-accommodate. Then we went to Mind at Work. The teachers were there when we went and inasikaso nila yung son ko while were inquiring. I like the ambiance of the school and the teachers are very friendly. Last we went to Discovery House Montessori. Ok naman, hindi ko nakita yung rooms nila but approachable naman ang teachers. Now Im torn between Mind at Work and Discovery House. Gusto ko talaga sa Mind at Work but inaalala ko the traffic. Lagro lang kami but to those who live in the area know na it takes 30 mins minsan abot pa 40 mins byahe kahit less than 5kms lang yun. Their class pa starts 8am which means we need to leave the house no later than 7:15 and he needs to wake up at 6:30. Pag hatid will take 1 hour and another hour ulit pagsundo. Ugh! Im preggy right now and we dont have a yaya so Im not sure if kaya namin yung ganung set up. Meanwhile, Discovery is just 5 mins away from our house and their class starts at 8:30 so no need to wake up early and walang traffic. Im so torn!

[swtgrl_bee]

^Yes, that's the thing about TGP ang bilis mapuno. Mind at Works yan ba sis yung nasa tapat ng Robinsons? If yes yung owner / teacher diyan from TGP din nag start alam ko. Since taga Lagro ka ayaw mo ba sa Raya? Mas malapit sa inyo yun sis.

Kaya to all who wants to try TGP agahan niyo talaga. Noong kami walang OA ah? 5:00 AM nasa gate na kami or mas maaga pa ata.  I have to check anong month kami pumila. Pero after 5 minutes may group of parents na din na sumunod sa amin.

[o9kristin]

^Yes sis yung nasa taas ng Metrobank nga yung Mind at Work. We didnt consider Raya na kasi sobrang out of our budget na. Nasa 120k+ na daw TF dun according to our pedia..

[swtgrl_bee]

Sa mga nanonood sa YouTube meron vlog si Nina Rayos. As in ang bongga ng vlog niya re: Preschools in Q.C. Sayang hindi na din siya nakapasok sa TGP. Bet din sana nila dun.

My gosh I had no idea how much ang TF ng mga pre-schools ngayon til I read the posts here 
Sobrang mahal pala talaga to think namamahalan na ko sa TF ng anak ko who is 3.5 yrs old and is now in Jr. Nursery.

Anyways, one factor na rin kung bakit siguro medyo mura pa sa school ng anak ko is because bago pa lang.. 2nd school year pa lang nila this year and hindi pa "experienced" teachers ang iba sa kanila.  It's ok for me though gawa  ng I still consider her level as parang playgroup pa rin so as long as they teach good moral values (according to my standard) ok na rin sa kin.  My priority now is my child's safety whilst attending school, the school is only a block away from our house so madali for my parents  na ihatid at sundo sya plus hindi pa kalakihan ang student population so oks pa ang teacher:pupil ratio.

Ang  pinaghahandaan ko ngayon, this early, is her big school.  I might transfer her sa established school once she's in Grade 1 na.  Magkano na kaya ang TF by then! 

[swtgrl_bee]

^yes, pa mahal talaga ng pamahal. Ever since nagpa-aral ako, every year tuition fee increase talaga.
