COMMON QUESTIONS

A clearer first conversation

What charges should I plan for beyond the monthly fee?
The enrolment payment includes the first month’s fee, a deposit and any applicable registration fee. Optional tuition is quoted separately. PGL Experiences are billed monthly where applicable, with an opt-out according to programme notice; holiday or special-event bookings may carry separate fees. Late collection is S$5 per 15 minutes. Ask us to set out the applicable charges for your chosen arrangement before committing.
How will I know when my child arrives or leaves?
Arrival, collection and communication arrangements should be agreed for your child before care begins. Contact the team to confirm the current update channel, timing, named contact and authorised collection arrangements in writing. For children using transport, discuss the route and handover points as part of that conversation.
Do parents need an app?
Please ask our team which parent communication options are currently available. You can contact us by WhatsApp or email; agree how arrival, departure and learning updates will be shared before care begins. TAIP’s developing digital tools support educator observation and follow-through.
How can you support the transition into Primary 1?
Our Foundations approach includes organising belongings, beginning tasks, asking for help and participating with others, alongside early academic support. Share what helps your child settle and any routines you would like us to understand. Explore support through the primary years.
My child already has tuition. Can PGL still fit?
Daily student care supports homework, routines and the wider afternoon. Tell us about existing tuition and school commitments so we can discuss a workable timetable. Any tuition at PGL, including a request involving your own tutor, requires a separate agreement on suitability, space, timing and fees.
Is ProgressLab a Tuition Centre?
ProgressLab is an after school care centre with strong academic support built into every day. Children receive structured homework guidance, spelling and 听写 practice, and small-group support from qualified educators. For deeper subject intervention, exam preparation or one-to-one attention, private tuition can be arranged separately.
How is PGL different from an ordinary tuition centre?
Tuition usually focuses on one subject for a fixed lesson. PGL supports the whole after-school stretch: school pickup, meals, homework, academic practice, routines, emotional regulation and meaningful experiences. Our educators see how a child starts, persists, responds to mistakes and asks for help—not only whether the final answer is correct.
How strong is the daily academic support?
Our team includes experienced educators, former school teachers and specialist programme partners. Children receive priority homework support, guided practice and age-appropriate help in core learning areas. Meet the people behind that support on our Team page.
Can upper-primary children receive more intensive support?
Yes. For children approaching the upper-primary years, we can place greater emphasis on subject gaps, revision habits, exam preparation and independent work. Where small-group after school care support is not enough, we will discuss optional one-to-one private tuition honestly with the family.
Who do I speak to about my child?
Use PGL WhatsApp 8098 0781 to request a conversation with the education team. For an unresolved operational concern, email operations@progresslab.sg and request a centre-operations review. Confirm your named contact before enrolment.
Do you help with spelling and 听写?
Yes. English spelling and Chinese 听写 practice form part of our daily academic support. Children can bring their school-assigned word lists so we can guide preparation and revision alongside homework and other learning tasks.
Will you complete my child’s homework?
We help children organise, understand and work through their priority homework—without doing it for them. The aim is responsible completion today and stronger independence over time. When repeated difficulty reveals a deeper learning gap, our team can recommend an appropriate next step rather than repeatedly supplying answers.
Does strong academic support mean children lose their downtime?
No. Childhood and academics are not opposites. Children still need meals, movement, play, friendships and time to reset after school. PGL places focused learning inside a balanced afternoon rhythm so children can make progress without spending the entire day in another classroom.
Which schools can you pick up from?
Routes are planned around nearby schools such as Hong Wen, Farrer Park, Bendemeer Primary and St Andrew’s, subject to demand, schedule and final written confirmation.
How does parent visibility work?
Educators share relevant observations about the task or routine, support tried, your child’s response and next steps. Discuss the format and review arrangements at enrolment. TAIP provides an educational framework; digital capabilities are being developed, and real-time updates or automated assessments are not promised.
Can my child join only the holiday programme?
Yes. School-holiday programmes may be booked independently, subject to age suitability and availability.
What is the next step?
Book a centre visit. We will understand your child’s school, routine and support needs before confirming the appropriate arrangement.
