An Early Learning Centre?

Mil sent bb to a trial Early Learning Centre class yesterday morning. I think it was about half and hour. She told me that instead of admitted bb to the 2-yr plus class, he was being introduced to a 3 yr old class because there was a 2 yr old girl who will make a big fuss out of stranger. She will scream and refuse any kid other than her own friend to join the class.

So bb was in the 3yr plus class and he shook hands with about 20 kids in the class like a big shot and VIP according to mil. What a waste I wasn’t there to witness the historical moment. He joined them for some activities, he also commented on people’s slide “NOT NICE” to play. *speechless* Even so, according to mil he had great fun and pointed to go back to the class as there were leaving the centre.

Later of the day, he was like a chatterbox yakking non stop. He spoke to his father over the phone, mentioning every single thing that he could see around him.

My Mil siap siap ambil the registration form home also. Whao…..registration per year 180, material fees per year 280, and the cheapest half a day class is from 9 to 11:30, Monday to Friday and it cost 300 per month. All in all if he is to enroll to this ELC class, first time payment would be the handsome amount of RM760. Umm…scratch head. Does he need this at such young age? Do we want to start paying all these expensive fees this early? But then again, it’s kind of fun to see him enjoying himself and open up more to socialize. I have yet to discuss this with hubby. I guess meanwhile we can just let him go for trial classes first.

How did mil know about these classes one? Oh… her exercise friend told her so. They send their grandchild there. No wonder!

Daycare here in Melbourne is even more expensive. And for schools, I hear there's a 2 year waiting list!

I think the best thing to do is find some mothers in your area and set up your own kind of daycare, each week the kids will gather in a different house.

Free...

But nowadays neighbours are not like before huh, so I think this will be hard.

Zara's mama, Yes according to MIL.

You are right, bb is turning 3 next year even though he is a november baby. Just discussed this with hubby, we might send him to the ELC class and also register him for a chinese primary. Time flies....


Mom2ashley, that's according to mil la, not sure how the teacher can gave in to her.

Precisely, and we are gonna send him there next year. Sigh...

Jazzmint, Ah-li,
Good Money but tough job. My SIL used to own one but closed down eventually, lotsa politic, lotsa work...not easy. I don't mind paying I guess...

Metria, ya ya..how to do it also when I am working ler? Unless I am like my friend, shake legs, no need to work than can la. I am not saying u...hehehe.

She meet up with mainly mat salleh wifes and babies, they have meeting each week at different people's house but again no activities, just chit chat and coffee sipping.

What I need now is for bb to learn something useful while socializing. Killing 2 birds with one stone. :)

Dinner. Stranger.

LAST NIGHT was MIL’s birthday. We went for a simple dinner at Mt. Kiara, a Taiwanese restaurant. Bb was excited to be out as usual, trying to show off how to operate his Bob the Builder’s bottle to uncle Jo, Bil. He has been sipping water from that bottle ever since daddy purchased it, which is good, no more bottles in public. He also created rapport with waiter and waitresses there. There was a fat uncle got so fond of him and present-ed him a chopstick holder. (Like that also can. Hah!) Bb showed it to me, it was in the shape of a Japanese koi fish. I told him to return it to uncle, Sri told me he returned but uncle insisted he kept it. UR! Okay! “Well, then you can keep it” I told him. Later, he came to me telling he was scared. I asked him why, he told me the BIG BIG uncle scary. Actually according to Sri, that uncle wanted to carry him, he got scared. Mil told me this - Once a stranger offer to carry bb, he wanted to go with stranger, mil threatened him that if he goes, he will ne
