it's true, u pay more, you get better products.
at this tender age, their brains are developing fast & their curiosity level is at its tandem high.
i enquired at pap nursery 174D. the teacher told me it's 2 hours. so i asked what activities are included in that 2 hours. she answered "music n movement, play time, chinese, story telling & break. half an hour each lor.."
i was surprised to hear the answer. not totally impress too. i confirmed with a friend who taught pap before & she told me it's like that as 'it caters to heartlands'. she told me not all pap teach the same thing as it depends on the principal and its centre.
my daughter is in playgroup at tots house n she is learning more than the children in pap nursery.
SO the answer is ..... you pay peanuts , You get peanuts
