More parents are sending their children to enrichment classes, but is it really worth it? If you’re planning to register your kids to such programmes, we’ve listed some centres (including the fees) in the Klang Valley area that are worth considering. Read below to find out.
Parents only want the best for their children. They’re willing to save up and invest unlimited amounts of money (and time) to send their kids to enrichment classes to help them learn their passions or interests.
It is not uncommon to see kids being involved in different lessons such as music, art, public speaking, martial arts, and the usual academic subjects. Exposing children to these types of learnings will make them understand new ideas and concepts as they grow up.
If you’re planning to enrol your kids into enrichment programmes, here are some of the centres that provide good programmes in the Klang Valley area. We also include the fees for you to compare.

Four things to consider when choosing enrichment classes for kids
1. Sign up for a trial class
Some enrichment programmes offer trial classes for parents to see if the format, environment and setting fits their child. You can use these trial classes to gauge your child’s level of interest before deciding to commit to a full programme.
2. Compare the prices and know what you’re paying for
Some classes can cost you quite an amount of money. With many learning centres to choose from, consider listing down the prices they offer and see if they match your budget. There may be some premium courses that require extra money for you to pay, therefore, be sure to know the benefits they offer so it will be worth it for your child.
3. Consider your child’s interests and desires
Do not register your kid in a class without understanding your child’s needs and wants. What exactly are their interests? What activities or classes will contribute to their growth? It’s important for you to understand their learning habits and preferences because you don’t want your kids to be unhappy by ending up in a class that they don’t enjoy.
4. Read the reviews
Another way to convince yourself that this is the right place to send your kids to is by checking out the centre’s Facebook page or Google reviews. The reviews that are posted by parents will likely help you make an informed decision.
