Preschool Choices North of Cebu



On scouting for preschool, some things I put into considerations are:

1. Teaching Method
2. School Facility e.g. school service
3. Location
4. Ratio of students
5. School Fees


These are the preschool we've visited and inquired.:

* San Roque Child Montessori, Yati Liloan tel: 5642992
:Montessori/Catholic School. Our first choice, the rooms tidy, walls are painted light, well ventilated. Not just some old house converted into a school typed thing. Authentic montessori according to their administrator. The School fee is reasonable.

* Tender Minds, Liloan tel: 4246730
:"Inspired" by Waldorf Method. School Fee is very reasonable that's the first thing I noticed. But the school is so
small, has a very limited area to roam around. An old structured house converted into a preschool.I like there staff though.

* Inchland Academy, Mandaue tel: 2388772
:School Of Tomorrow Curriculum. I am impressed with this kind of teaching approach. God and His values are
incorporated in their teaching. It is also a Self-paced curriculum. The area for kids to
play and roam around was not taken into consideration. I hope there facilities improved.

* Mandaue Christian School, Mandaue tel: 3451697
:Christian School, traditional approach. My nieces was currently a student in this school.

* Prodigy Child Development Center tel: 4223464
:This is more of a day care center.

more next time.

Prep for my Preshooler

sofie at sm north
 

Sofia will soon to be a preschooler. I found out that some parent opted up on sending their kids as early as 2 years old. Well, we want her to enjoy spending more time with us and together explore things. I waited for some sign that she is ready for  school.While waiting for 2012 school year I scouted for some schools nearby.



   See, we just moved in a year ago in Consolacion Cebu from Manila. And personally investing on a good school that is not weigh beyond we can afford is quite challenging for me.Upon checking this list I always consider the type of method or approached they are using in the class. I was torn between Montessori method and the School of Tomorrow/PACE Method. I choose the latter, it was a self-paced student centered and incorporated by Gods Teaching. Whew! Location need also to be considered. And the school facility as well. Unlike the central part of Cebu where  you have a lot of choices, here in the northern part I find it difficult and in fact up until now I haven't made that decision.


I will share some list of the Schools I visited on my next blog :)
