20 grand for kids

[JC]

Read in a report about how increasing scores of parents are willing to pay more for their kids to be deposited at childcare houses charging up to 20 grand a year, even more than what you'd pay for in a full-term degree course at a local university here in Singapore! How do we know these childcare houses are really delivering value for money? Is this also a way of assimilating kids into social clubs at a very young age?

Can you link to the report?

$20k per year? Sounds like the cost of a private school in the UK - well, and the international schools here (including at a young age).

basic childcare? or hot house education centres? not sure what the post is about. What is meant by value, what are the desired outcomes and measures?

[Fat Bob]

Could be there's an offer for kids: a $20k offer.

I'd give you my kid for that. If I had any.

'increasing scores'?
