Angioletto Preschool

We were finally able to visit one preschool today. I remember finding a comment in my earlier post about a certain preschool in Kapitolyo. Mommy Leda said:

You might want to check on Angioletto Preschool in Kapitolyo, Pasig. School fees are 48k inclusive of learning materials, PE uniform and learning trips. They also provide going-home service at a minimal charge. Payments can be stretched from cash to monthly. They use English and all rooms are air-conditioned. Plus they offer free trial class until tomorrow, April 10.

I tried to search for its website or look for feedbacks in various fora but there isn’t any. All I found were ads in sulit and 88db. Anyway I emailed them to inquire about the appropriate program for Sofi, the schedule and of course the fee. Here is Teacher Che’s reply:

ANGIOLETTO PRESCHOOL CURRICULUM:
We use the progressive approach in teaching. Every day, we use songs, rhymes, mime and movement in doing our classroom activities. Creativity and self-expression are expressed through different art activities. Storytelling is always present. We believe that children learn best through experiential learning that is why we also expose them to different learning trips. We also teach the value of spiritual education thru Religion. Children develop physical fitness through Stretch-n-Grow, The World’s Fitness for Kids.


THE TODDLER PROGRAM (for children ages 2.5 to 3.5 years)

I wasn’t able to take a picture of their front gate but it looks quite homey. When we got inside we inquired about the trial class scheduled today but Teacher Che said a lot of parents called in to cancel since it’s a long weekend. So they reschedule the trial class next Friday, May 7. They were having a spring cleaning instead but they still accommodated us.

Sofi didn’t want to go in first and when I carried her inside she started crying. It took a while before she warmed up. Teacher Che asked me to fill up some data about Sofi and we talked for a while. When they realized that Sofi is a Dora fan, Mr. Ferrer gave her a Dora toy. And she started to go around and pick up toys. She was having the time of her life. The rest is history. I think we found a school already.

For the benefit of parents on the lookout for a preschool, Angioletto accepts monthly payment just in case your kid doesn’t want to go to school anymore. Say she’s so active from June to August but come September your kid suddenly lose interest in school, Angioletto will not require you to pay the remaining parts of the year, unlike other schools. You may also ask about their service just in case you can’t pick them up on a certain day. All teachers in Angioletto are former St. Paul teachers. Teacher Che, on the other hand, is a Paulinian all throughout and worked for St. Paul for 5 years until she finally decided to give in to her life long dream of having her own preschool.
