some more info...
KOF is the only school in the Marikina Area that boasts of a very small teacher-student ratio. For our Junior Nursery class, the ratio is 1:8. That means, there are only 8 students per class. For Senior Nursery, Kinder and Prep, maximum student number is 12.
So how much? It doesn't really cost an arm and a leg, especially considering that the center is now currently undergoing construction to accommodate more students, the rooms are all air-conditioned and paints and art supplies are all imported. The directress and teachers are all well-trained and are all MA students (with three who are MA candidates). The administrator is a PhD graduate in the field of Child and Family Studies!
