playskool

A week back I did write a small note in one of my post, of sending hArith n athirAh for half-day playschool. Although at the time I wrote, it was more of a decision made by my i’m-breathless-tired-looking-after-them state of mind, En Suami however took my words into consideration. Off we went for kindergarten hunting. Buckle the two kids up and started driving around our neighbourhood.

Came across a newly set up Montessori kindergarten. The kids were having their siesta time playing outside. We did a lil’ observation from our car, and decided to “crash” in. By the time I got down, the kids were already in the hse…press the doorbell and the principal came out. “do you take 21months old? I have twins in the car”. Since I’m right infront of the gate, she can’t shove me away, she invited me in. Hubby n I unbuckle the 2 and went it.

I wouldn’t elaborate much but one thing for sure we were very much impressed with the place. Number one reason I love it because it is not class oriented. Not those typical classrooms environment. Afterall they are only 21 months old I woulnd’t want it to be in their head that they are in school. I want them to associate that place with fun.

Some might ask “tak kesian ker anta kecik2 gi sekolah?” And here’s another reason why I felt in love with that place…it is very much similar to the kindergarten I attended. And I luv my kindy very much, not even a day I was reluctant to go. The environment of the place made me feel dejavu. After looking at the teaching tools..it was very much similar to what I had… my mind was already wandering back to the good old days of my kindergarten days. I enjoyed it very much so I’m assuming my kids would enjoy this place too (I hope)

At the moment, we are waiting for the principal to get back to us regarding the enrollment of hArith and athirAh. She’s waiting for a new staff to come in. Once the staff comes in, she’ll accept my kids in. I do hope doesn’t change her mind coz I luv the centre. And even better, syauQi was very much impressed with it too.

So can you imagine these two going to kindergarten? Hihi

If they are accepted in, it means I have more free time in the morning. I’m really interested to venture into sewing but have ZERO knowledge. So where/how do I start?

p/s: My kindergarten teacher passed away few years back, let’s all sedeqah Al-fatihah to her.
