AKCDF Preschool Center practices a socialized student contribution scheme. This means that the amount of a student’s contribution is determined upon assessment of his/her immediate family’s financial capability. Financial capability is determined by the student’s family’s income opportunities and acquired property.

AKCDF categorized student contribution into the following pay levels (as of SY 2005-2006):

PAY
LEVEL		 STUDENT
CONTRIBUTION
PER YEAR		 DESCRIPTION
1 P 10,500.00 (fully- paying) applies to students whose immediate families’ monthly per capita income is above P8,000.00
( makes up 10% of AKCDF students)
2 P6,500.00 (partially sponsored) applies to students whose immediate families’ monthly per capita income is between P3,000.00- P8,000.00
( makes up 50% of AKCDF students)
3 P200.00* ( fully sponsored)
(Indigent level) applies to students whose immediate families’ monthly per capita income is P3,000.00 and below
( makes up 40% of AKCDF students)

( Please see Annex 2 on page 10 to determine where the student contribution is used***)

Decision of a student’s pay level is determined by AKCDF only after undergoing a social investigation. This involves home visit and interview of the student’s immediate family by AKCDF teachers with an authorized AKCDF Administration staff and a licensed Social Worker.


Parents of indigent students are incorporated in the institution’s Parent Education Program where they undergo workshops on proper parenting and childcare, child’s rights, reproductive health as well as workshops on livelihood opportunities. They are also required to render a minimum of 4 hours of volunteer work every month in the institution ( called lakas paggawa) wherein they act as AKCDF’s partners in caring for and serving other children of the center; which signifies the institution’s principle of “ Every Child is My Child”.

Saan Napupunta ang Kontribusyon ng mga Magulang?

Hindi tulad ng ibang paaralan, ang kontribusyon ng mga magulang ay napupunta sa tagong gastusin (hidden cost) sa pagpapaaral ng inyong mga anak, tulad ng:

  • Pagkain sa Paaralan ( masustansyang snacks at mineral water araw-araw)

  • P15.00/araw x 5 araw x 4 linggo= P300.00/ buwan
    P 300.00 x 10 buwan= P3,000.00 sa isang taon

  • Educational Tour ( kasama ang transportasyon, museum
    fees at snacks ) = P 800.00

  • MAPALAD KA Family Peace Day/ Foundation Day (kasama ang transportasyon, pagkain, workshop materials, palaro at papremyo)= P 150.00

  • Identification Card (laminated)= P 50.00

  • 1 set ng Libro = P 1,500.00

  • 3 Sets ng Uniporme= P1,000.00

Total: P 6,500.00

(* Ito ay nangangahulugang tanging ang mga estudyante lamang na nasa Pay Level 1 na bumubuo ng 10% ng kabuuang bilang ng estudyante ng AKCDF ang nagko-contribute ng karagdagang halaga para sa operational expenses ng paaralan.)
