I finally enrolled him in a playschool. Running out of ideas on activities to do with him so I thought I'd better send him to school. At least he will be kept occupied even though it's only a twice weekly 90 minute session. It's an accompanied programme so I still don't have my ME time yet. Couldn't find a drop-off programme that I feel comfortable with so for now, Joshie goes to school with mummy.
The school, LeapSchoolHouse is located at the mall just opposite our apartment. Very convenient! He started his first official lesson last Wednesday and I am still observing him closely so that I can decide whether to let him continue next term. He seems quite withdrawn and is not very interested to socialise with the other kids. I presume it's because they are all younger than him, they are roughly 18-19 months old while he is already 21 months old. This boy likes to mix with older kids!!! Anyway, will just observe for another week before I make the decision. I think next week is the deadline to inform the school so that they can either secure our place or release it to other parents on the waiting list.
Here's a picture of him in his official school T-shirt. The students are required to wear this T-shirt to class all the time.
Colouring his face mask.
Listening intently during story time.
"Teacher, look........I caught a fish!"
He looks like a big boy in the uniform :) looks like an interesting school. Probably Joshie needs time to get used to being in a new environment :)
ReplyDeleteShirlin, one day he will settle in.. Keep going... I believe few hours a week will only do him good!
