From what I was told, I know some sent their kids to international/private school becoz they provide after school care service which is convenient for parents who both have to work. Since it gonna cost more or less the same looking for child care outside after school, might as well leave them at school.

Coz not every parents need to worry about after school care if the grandparents are nearby/ stay in the same house. At least got ppl jaga the kids after school.

Since there is not many local boarding school and most also only for bumi students only, ppl like us (came from other states but work in KV) have to either:
1. Look for private / international boarding school
2. Hire caretaker/put kids at childcare center
3. 1 parent quit the job to take care of the kids.

Edit: OK there is also option 4 but rarely happens due to work nature/distance from school : bring kid to your office and wait for you finish work.
