Teach Your Kids For Less


If you want your child to take an enrichment class in the core subjects early in life, classes are widely available. In fact, if you wanted to read through the course brochures available for your kindertot, you would have to set aside a few days.

Classes range from one-hourly, to once a week, and all claim to help your child master the languages, creative thinking, math, logical thinking, science, and even how to think properly.
But what do you do if just can’t, or won’t, travel around the island from centre to centre? What should you do if you want to save some of that hard-earned money for university instead of putting it into kindergarten programmes?

Is there an alternative? One very effective way is to spend time working at home with your child.
This isn’t time spent doing assessment book after assessment book, but time spent talking, explaining, experimenting and pondering over different topics.

A great benefit to working with your child at home is that you can work with your child when it is most effective for both of you and not worry about the class time clashing with naps and other engagements.
