Q&A Time: 10 Reasons Why We Like Kreative Kids, Moms & Dads

Some time ago, I received a follow-up email from Inquiring Mom. I already answered some of her emails in the past here. She asked me why we decided to enroll our kids at Kid’s World Integrated School/Kreative Kids, Moms and Dads after going independent for two years. I’ve decided to share here the reasons why we like KWIS/KKMD. Here it goes:
1. MAPE – Every Saturday, we go all the way to Ortigas where all the homeschoolers meet. They have floorball, music, arts, performing arts and a lot of other extras. All these activities are included in our low enrollment fee.
2. Open curriculum – KWIS/KKMD does not impose what curriculum we would like to use for our children. We are all free to choose what we want to use, how we homeschool our children. The negative side of this is that if you are a new homeschooler, choosing homeschool materials from the thousands available out there may be difficult at first. But talking with other homeschool families can solve this dilemma.
3. DepEd Records – Children enrolled at KWIS/KKMD will not be classified as Out of School Youth by our Department of Education because of Kid’s World Integrated School. They are enrolled and will receive report cards every end of the school year.
4. Mommy Support – The friendship and camaraderie that parents share at KKMD is tremendous. We share our lives, we pray for each other, we share our hopes for our children, we look out for each others’ kids. I love it. This is not to say that there is no friction. Any place where you’ve been there for some time will cause friction among its members. It just depends on your maturity how you will handle the friction.
5. Friendship among homeschoolers – Our children have all learned to be comfortable with each other. They still experience the awkwardness of making new friends, but once they overcome that, they learn to accept and love each other. The thing I’ve noticed is that there is also no negative peer pressure amongst the children. And since they are all of different ages, the children learn to respect each other despite their age.
6. Meeting other people of different professions – Ms. Ane Palaruan, the directress, and her team, have brought in people of different professions to speak to the children. This way, the children are exposed to many professionals giving them the chance also to see how they can grow up to be in the future.
7. Involvement in extra activities held at Union Church of Manila – Since our directress’ husband works at the UCM in Makati, we are constantly invited to activities held at UCM. My children have participated in several and have enjoyed it so much! Not only that, they grow in their knowledge of the Lord in these activities.
8. Support of Greenhills Christian Fellowship – Our Saturday classes are held at GCF in Ortigas, Pasig City. To my knowledge, we are not charged for the use of their facilities. If we are, it is very minimal. Our children are able to use their airconditioned classrooms giving them comfort while learning.
9. Low cost of tuition fee – The tuition fee is very low. You can email me to ask how much. For a low tuition fee, the children are enrolled at KWIS and KKMD’s Saturday activities.
10. Dedication of our directress and her support group – I cannot say enough thanks to Ms. Ane Palaruan, her sister Ms. Lucy Andes and her team for their dedication to KKMD. They are all very creative, very helpful and are determined to help homeschool families in every way they can. They are not perfect, they are people who also make mistakes, but you can count on them to be there for you all along the way.
There are more reasons I can list down here, but that’s already for the next time I post about KKMD.
Disclosure: This blog post about KKMD is not a paid post. These are my own honest opinion. KWIS/KKMD did not require me to write a post about them.

    Hi Michelle,

    Your blog is definitely a good find since I am homeschooling 3 kids under Kids’ World, too. I am a teacher by profession and this is my first year as a homeschool ‘tutor.’ I must admit that I have a lot of apprehensions as this is my first time.

    I am also based in Davao City, so communicating with the directresses, Teacher Ane and Ma’am Ingrid is quite a challenge. Hehe!

    But reading your blog, I was somehow appeased. I hope I can read more info about your homeschooling experience with Kids’ World.

    Kudos to you and God bless!

    Yours truly,
    Sheila G.
