Do you agree that if a child is bright enough he or she can catch up and even outdo others later in primary school, and thus no need to invest in expensive private preschool? Or do you think it's better to build a strong foundation during preschool years so they won't lose out in primary school?

I had a very poor foundation laid back than. Struggled with English and Chinese as I only spoke Hokkien in the past. Took me double the effort and was first in class during PSLE. I think I would be happier to have went to the enrichment class as I had very low self esteem as I tot I am always alone. A good head start definitely boost the kid's confidence. The key is to strike a balance. Work hard play hard.
