We have to pay half a million out of our pocket even though his mom is Korean, but the baby is not, because his mom wasn’t Korean when he was born.
Another fun thing is that foreign families in the area where we live get 100k KRW for the daycare, but our family can’t because his mom is Korean. So we get nothing ^^. Great system :p
But anyway, I hope he will like it there, it’s a Montessori daycare, I’m not sure if this is something good or something bad in the long run, I hope he can play and doesn’t have to sit and learn anything from some curriculum. There will be enough time for that once he is at school.
Fwiw I think there’s probably nothing especially good or bad about Montessori at a daycare level. I’d just say avoid it once he’s actually in school!
But damn, that sucks with the cost and not getting subsidies.
