Pat's Schoolhouse

[debpch]

hi keas,

hubby & i viewed a couple of preschools & talked to the principals/teachers. mindchamps is not bad but hubby did not like the fact that it is normally located in a shopping center... he preferred preschools that have playgrounds & lawns for the kids to run around.. but that's our preference...

actually, u have to visit the centers to see if it fits your needs...

we live in the north so tanglin is really far for us... so, hubby & i have decided to give it a try & see how it goes..

Hi hi… did u gals receive news that tomolo the sch is going to read a book and "changing" the sch into a "snowy day"? My cc even asked the kids to bring their winter wear! hahaha

debpch:

mindchamps was one of the preschools that i considered as well

anyway, go down & have a look at the place... see if u like it. for me, my only concern for the tanglin branch is the transport... hopefully, it wouldn't be too problematic when my kid starts school next year...

Ok thanks, you have been very helpful

Hi,


My DD is also going to Pats toddler care Halifax branch from Jan 2011.

As it's my first time leaving her in a foreign environment, I would like to ask how most of the mummies here do it. Did you peek thru the windows for the longest time?

My DD is quite attached to me and will prob cry. Any pointers on how to get her accustomed to the environment? If I see her cry I think my heart will break ...

Hi Blurdaze,

Rem to update yourself in the list that Pat's mummies has created.
Time flies, the 2009 babies are coming to Pat soon :shock:

My DD is currently in toddler's class.
I only stayed on for the 1st day. In fact, the teachers from the other classes actually told me, I dont have to stay ard! I do feel awkward being the only parent that is hanging ard the school that day.

Since u will be joining in Jan, there should be some orientation whereby parents are welcome to hang around the school on the 1st 3 days. Lucky you!
For my case, i joined halfway, so no such privileges for me.

Halifax teachers shld be v experience in handling such separation anxiety problems, so dont worry.
