Headache finding a place to leave children in the summer

Relying on grandparents to help look after their children during the summer vacation is the solution of many families in Ho Chi Minh City. However, because they are concerned that leaving their children at home with their grandparents for a long time will also cause them to watch a lot of TV and iPad, and not practice many skills, many parents want to find summer boarding classes from reputable units with affordable prices so that they can send their children from morning to afternoon.

SUMMER BOARDING AT CHILDREN'S HOME

Some children's houses in districts, towns, and Thu Duc City (HCMC) organize boarding classes for gifted and skilled students in the summer of 2023, meeting the "feverish" demand of many parents for places to send their children.

Speaking to Thanh Nien reporter, Mr. Phan Anh Viet, Director of Thu Duc City Children's House, said that this year, there will be a 2023 summer boarding gifted class organized for children studying at primary and secondary schools, living in Thu Duc City.

WHAT TO PAY ATTENTION TO WHEN CHOOSING A SUMMER BOARDING CLASS FOR YOUR CHILDREN?

Mr. Le Van Ket, manager of Viet Dang Quang Life Skills Center, District 5, said that first, one should choose educational institutions and agencies that organize summer boarding classes that are reputable, trustworthy, and ensure legality.

Next, parents need to find out if the summer boarding program is suitable for the age, needs, interests, and abilities of the child. One point that cannot be overlooked is whether the unit has been granted a food safety certificate, because the child will eat from morning to afternoon at the center. "When the above requirements are met, there are some criteria for parents to base on to choose a center/unit with a summer boarding class. Such as the distance from home to the class is close, the time to pick up and drop off the child is suitable for the parents' work to conveniently pick up and drop off the child. Is the unit's price suitable for the family's budget...", Mr. Ket discussed.
