Chloe attend kindergarten for the first time...January 2008. She was 3 years and 3 months old.
This was the first time Chloe attend kindergarten. Daddy drive Chloe to school since mommy need to drive to KL to work in the early morning. Drive and drop Chloe to teacher.......She was crying........and crying..........
Second day, she was so scared and refused to go to school again. We still force her to try again to attend the kindergarten. Adults were thinking of she might love it and she was just need time to adjust in the new environment.
Third day, she was sick and coughing........Mommy was at the office and received called from grandmother who was taking care of them at home. Chloe was coughing non stop and she had stomach pain. No eating and drinking anymore. Mommy rush home and drive her to hospital. This was the first time Chloe stayed in the hospital due to infection of lung.....somethings that will lead to asthma.
Because of this, mommy decided to postponed since she was not ready yet. Half year passed, Mommy try to find another suitable kindergarten for Chloe as well as Jonathan in June 2008. Jonathan was 2 years and 7 months old. Why mommy keep sending them to school? As a parent, I would try to send them to kindergarten at least someone teaching them somethings.....someone was playing with each others. And not staying at home watching tv for the whole day......cartoon and when grandmother watch tv they were also watching.
This time, Chloe was able to adapt to the environment, stopped crying after 2 weeks and she was willing to go to school. Jonathan was keep crying.........Both of them was drive by auntie (one of Chloe's classmate's mother). Sometimes, grandmother start chasing them at put them in the car. So pitiful.........my girl still remember that until now. Another half year gone. We were now heading to year 2009.
Since Jonathan already crying for the half year 2008. Mommy decided to change school again. Luckily, we went to a church based kindergarten with full of loving and caring teachers. Jonathan called it Ferrari school. He love it but he still crying in the early morning...on and off for the whole year 2008. But, still ok........In the December 2008, Mommy was taking advance of VSS to be full time mommy. My mother who was taking care of my two darlings for 4 years decided to take care my pregnant sister who was due on April 2009.
Year 2009-Both of them attend different kindergarten. Chloe was refused to change since she already had her friends there. Chloe still attached to the MRC Junior and Jonathan attend Hi Five Enrichment center. Why it was not called as kindergarten? I don't know.......until now. Chloe was following the course.......not so effective..........felt pressure on Chloe. The main problem of that school...........children had no motivation to learn. They were spoon feed everyday. I decided to change again on the end of 2009. I decided to quit......
In the year 2010, both of them finally meet together. Why my daughter willing to go to his brother school? Haha......the power of friends influences.......5 years old girl only. Her good friend was enrolled to her brother school. She also wish to change to her brother school now. Today, was the first day of school. She was happy. After come back from school, she cannot sleep in the afternoon nap. She keep telling me....the new school was really fun.
What so special about Hi Five Enrichment Center? For me, million thanks must go to the principal and a group of young, handsome, pretty teachers. Almost all of the teachers in the early of 20+. This year, they impressed me with the motivation course for pre-school group. Is this working for the children? Children need motivation course? Yes, the answered with no doubt. My girl always said to me now, Mommy you can do it, you can achieve it.
I felt so great about this school.........Thank you.......Arigato Gozaimasu
3 years of schooling, My girl already changed 3 schools. How about the future road of schooling? I'm so scared to dream about the perfect Chinese school for them.......My road will slowly switch to homeschooling. I decided to take the challenge. Lets go through together with all homeschooler..........Please give me the courage to search what suit them best!
I believe that I'm the one who are able to give the best!
