Sarah is going to school (Part 2)

Truthfully, susah betul nak cari kindy kat area Kuang.

Our criteria: Bukan shop lot, islamic dan english medium (kalau campur malay pun ok). How we wish kat sini ada Genius Aulad or Little Caliph, tapi since Ar razi kids method mungkin lebih kurang so that's it.

Too early to tell this tadika bagus or tidak, since kalau cari kat google memang takde satu review pun. So, now i am making one lah. From my findings;-

- School compound ok. Tapi since yang dekat Kuang ni kawasan dia dekat dengan hutan jadi kadang2 ada monyet. Hopefully the teachers are aware of that lah.

- Small group as the kids are divided by year so utk kelas 4 tahun so far ada 12 orang je.

- Lantai kindy maybe kena mop selalu since everytime Sarah balik mesti socks hitam gila.

- Class start dari pukul 8.30 pagi - 1 ptg. Ada makan pukul 10 dan before balik dalam pukul 12.30 tgh. This is good sebab some kindy bagi makan sekali and sekeping biskut je.(true story)

- Teachers so far are very friendly and helpful.

- If ada info, teachers akan give memo yang akan di paste dalam buku. Each kids wajib ada satu buku utk memo. Yang lain2 macam buku kerja semua provide by tadika since dah masuk dalam yuran.

- Yuran is divided by 2 semester, 1st sem (Jan-June) dalam 5 ratus lebih, and second sem (July onwards)  dalam 4 ratus. Tapi masa registration tu habis dalam 8 ratus lebih jugak lah inclusive of uniforms and what not. Then monthly rm165.

Is Sarah coping well?

Jawabnya tak juga. Since masa first day she dah demam and kena warded, pastu Dr tak bagi pi kindy seminggu which at that time is orientation week. So last monday hantar dia, bergenang air mata (tapi x nangis). Tapi luckily her teacher baik, greet and lead her to the class.

Everyday, mr husband yang akan hantar as saya pi kerja pukul 6.30 pagi, and balik Her mak Ros will fetch her up. In this one week, setiap hari after sending her to kindy, mr husband will call and update me the progress. How dia taknak mandi and wanted me to mandikan and pakaikan baju, and pegang tangan papa tak nak lepas. Tapi dia tak nangis lah.

Everyday mesti tanya dia belaja apa, makan apa, kawan dengan sapa. Tapi dia taknak berkawan sangat. maybe took some time to warm up (like me, hehehehe), and mr husband said, kalau hantar dia pagi2 and when her teacher yg baik tu greet her, pastu dia ikut je cikgu tu and duduk dgn dia. This morning pulak, the teacher dtg lewat so dia takde to greet her and sarah, air mata pun dah bergenang. Sedih and tak mahu mingle with other kids.

How we adapt to this?

Memang penat. since saya sampai rumah selalunya pukul 7, sometimes at that time mr husband tak balik lagi. So mandi ala kadar, masak, sapu sikit, dan sambil melayan the clingy Pia. Tunggu mr husband balik, lepas dia solat suma makan. Pastu check bag sarah, tgk ada homework ke, siap2 kan baju socks, tudung dengan name tag so esok pagi mr husband siap2 kan dia tak kelam kabut. Tau2 je lah nak handle kids pagi2 much harder kan. dengan Pia lagi. So this week kitorang suma tidur pkl 9.30pm. Kalau tak tidur, alamat Sarah pun tak tidur lah then besok bangun pagi payah.

I was wondering, how do we cope up nanti bila the kids are going to real school?
