hi mums, do you think there's a big difference btwn those "branded" preschools vs. the "mainstream" ones? the price difference is huge and we've 2 kids.... kinda torn due to finances.....

Rather than the "brand" of the preschool, consider how passionate the teachers are about teaching children and whether the students appear to be happy studying there. More and more preschools are adopting the learn-through-play approach, so even the "mainstream" preschools won't be "lousy". PAP Childrens' Foundation has SPARK accreditation too. Lastly, if finances are tight, don't go for a "branded" school just because. It's akin to carrying an Hermes when you can't afford to dine at a hawker centre. A little far-fetched, but you get the gist. Don't spend more than what you can afford. http://sg.theasianparent.com/choosing-a-preschool-for-your-child-2/
