“All I really need to know, I learned in Kindergarten,” said the famous author Robert Fulghum, which is also the title of his book. According to the book, primary education is crucial for children’s development as it is during their formative years. 

That’s why parents consider a lot of things when it comes to choosing the child’s preschool: location, facilities, educational approach, class size, extracurricular activities and tuition fees. After all, it is also the child’s first formal school. 

To help out with the decision-making, Smart Parenting rounded up a list of preschools around Quezon City, with their corresponding tuition fees and other details. 

Here’s the list:
