Hi mummies, May I know if you think it make any sense to change a child's childcare to one with: 1)better location 2)availability of enrichment prog 3)worse staff to child ratio My concern is tt the child has already adapted well, but I also find the current sch lacking in some area like the lack of parental involvement(no communication booklet), no enrichment options, terrible choices of excursions and insufficient outdoor time. Other than that the current cc is quite responsive and responsible. Thank you. :}

1. If you are a working mom and needs to fetch your child by 7pm daily, changing to a childcare with a better location that allows you to fetch your kid earlier or fetching becomes less of a rush to you, then the change makes sense. 2. Enrichment programs offered at the childcare are often in partnerships with external vendors. You cannot guarantee that the enrichment programs are there to stay in the near future. Though it saves time in the sense that such programs are usually conducted during curriculum time (hence, save you to trouble to send your kid elsewhere at a separate timing), this reason should not be seen as a strong motivation to change the childcare. 3. Worse meaning how many kids per teacher? If the ratio is such that the childcare is maxing out their capacity but yet within the MYCG mandated ratio, then it doesn't make sense to change. You kid will get less attention, which probably isn't a very good thing. Try to feedback your concerns to the Principal first and hopefully, the childcare is able to address some of your concerns eventually. Good luck!

thanks for yr feedback. for 2), worse means still within ratio but less good than the current cc another factor is that the other cc has daily hourly outdoor which the other sch does not
