So many great enrichment programmes, but so little time... so why not let your kid try some shortlisted classes for free at POSB Education Marketplace before picking their faves?
With the year-end holidays around the corner, you’ve probably already started looking for holiday programmes for the kiddo. We recommend to look out for programmes that not only teaches kids new skills, but those that can help develop a passion for learning. Here’s some great news: the POSB Education Fair is the perfect place to source for programmes like that.
Hosted by the POSB Education Marketplace, POSB Education Fair offers a variety of excellent enrichment programmes run by trusted education providers. But what we love most is that this education fair offers exclusive free trials (or at a minimal fee) to DBS and POSB cardmembers! This is super helpful as you can let your kids try out some classes to see if they like it, before committing to a full package. The last thing you want is to fork out a hefty package fee, only for you and your child to realise the programme it’s not aligned with their interests.
To make your search easier, we’ve rounded up some of the top enrichment programmes on POSB Education Fair with free trials for you to check out. Psst… don’t forget to keep an eye out for additional perks too (exclusive discounts, savings, and even flexible payment options) that’s available from now till 31 December 2023!
