New School

sent the boys to their new school today. i was pretty anxious...maybe due to the bad experience we had with the old daycare (the one we sent amir to before the rapid nursery).

i took amir to see his new school on friday. he seemed ok with it and was saying "cikgu sally takde dah...". i was still a bit not sure of the whole thing. this morning i prepared a list of info for the new teachers - how much milk, asyraf's "illnesses", his dos and donts, ariff's timetable. i bought new things for the school - milk, diapers, creams - and wrote down the boys' names on the new things.

i was all ready to brief the teachers this morning. got to the school around 7am. i saw a car that i usually see at amir's daycare in front of the house. i brought amir down from the car and passed him to the teacher at the door. lahhhhh...its the same teacher that has been taking care of asyraf all this while. so there goes my list. then another teacher came to the door, saying "amir datang sekolah baru ye?" yet another teacher from the old school. then the principal came down with her daughter. her daughter is amir's classmate and now she too goes to this current daycare.

well...there goes my anxious-ness. i was a nervous wreck the whole weekend and i see all familiar faces this morning. even asyraf walked in happily...he went straight for the biscuits i packed for amir. amir didnt give me a second glance when he saw the slide & swing set. ariff was the only one who gave me a smile when i walked out. he was lying down on the mattress at the corner of the room.

as i drove off, i looked at my phone. i had 4 messages from the principal and teachers from the old daycare that i didnt check. they said that i had the option of sending to either one of the daycare, the old or the new, as all the syllabus, the timetable, the uniform, the yearly events are all the same. its up to us.

now i'm confused. the old or the new? i like the old as i like the "school" environment. i like the fact that each classgroup had their own room. but i like the number of children at the new daycare. not too many and its limited to just daycare compared to daycare plus preschool at the old place. amir picks up quite a few things that i was not happy with from the older children. maybe i'll ask amir which one he prefers. i dont mind the new one actually but i'll get amir's feedback.
