The early years and preschool years form the basis of your child’s lifelong journey in learning, as this is where he/she will pick up important skills needed for school and life.
So, how do you get started with choosing the right preschool for your child with the multitude of options out there?
A great hack we’ve often heard from seasoned parents is to look out for leading education groups with several preschool brands under them. Not only does this allow you to compare the offerings and learning experiences of each brand, but you’ll also be able to shortlist a school that meets your requirements.
For this, organisations like Babilou Family Singapore come to mind.
