"Bright Starts" for Bright Sparks (3-4 yo) - Level III


As a gesture of gratitude to all of our current parents who have supported the work of the school over these many years, school-fees will NOT be raised in the academic year 2009. Wee Care will also continue to absorb the Goods & Services Tax (GST).

New families who join Wee Care will pay a Registration fee of $125/- instead of the current $85/- with effect from 1st Jan 09. However, Insurance and Deposit rates will remain the same.

Publishers have raised the cost of books across the board, so this increase may be reflected in your termly bill when the new year starts.

Bright Starts III continues to offer segments of Open Learning and Play-based Academic modules (relating to Reading, Writing, Arithmetic and a Second Language). It is bolstered by the inclusion of two new components, which may be described as follows:


LIFESKILLS
- Emotional Intelligence through Drama and Role-Play
- Cooking and the Preparation of Simple Meals
- Money & Time Skills
- Self-Help Skills (eg. managing buttons and zips, cleaning up)

The PROJECT APPROACH (SCIENCE)
- Observing, Investigating and Measuring Phenomena
- Reasoning by Prediction, Deduction or Inference
- Representing Ideas, Concepts and Results through Art, Pictures and Words

PARENT / CAREGIVER INVOLVEMENT

Children who are attending school for the first time without the accompaniment of their parents and caregivers may have Separation Anxiety. Therefore, parents and caregivers should co-operate with Wee Care educators to assure their children and to help them to settle down in school. Details here.

A Profile of Progress, showing some of the lessons taught and more importantly, the different categories of the individual child's development, will be made available to all parents at the end of each semester.

 

CLASS SIZE and EDUCATOR-CHILD RATIO

Each class can only accommodate a maximum of eight (8) children, who are led and taught by two (2) Wee Care educators.

 

ADMISSION and FEES

Children are admitted into the "Bright Starts" Programme at the start of each term through the completion of a Parent-Toddler PlayGroup Programme, a parent-accompanied Holiday Programme or a Primer Programme, or a personal admission consultation. Such an admission procedure will enable parents and children to get to know the Wee Care educators and the school environment prior to starting school. The impact of Separation Anxiety will also be reduced. Therefore, direct and/or mid-term admissions are only given on a case-by-case basis.

In addition, there are books and other materials that must be bought when required. Deposits are refunded according to the terms and conditions of registration.
