New school: Nakorn Sari

Today we tried out another new school. It's a Kindergarden called Nakorn Sari.

Now that we've got the hang of going to playgroup regularly 3 days a week, I wanted him to do something on Tuesdays and Wednesdays too. Nakorn Sari is perfect because unlike most kinddies, they allow children to come on a daily basis. Other kindy usually prefer that you go to their school 5 days a week, which means we won't be able to go to Play Centre and Children Corner's again.

I like going to these 2 places. Not only do I get to socialize and make new friends with other mothers, I also get to go to a library which has always been my favorite activity, and to learn from other more experienced mothers who put a lot of effort into their lesson plans.

Anyway, back to the story. We love Nakorn Sari!

It's the kindergarden I would love to go to. There are toys everywhere. The pre-kindergarden kids are allowed to roam within limits during lesson time. They are not very strict with the young ones because they want to foster a love for school first, which is what Sam and I believe playgroup should be like. It's very cozy and really fun, and seriously a lot of toys!

It is Sean's heaven. He was so distracted with the toys that he really couldn't be bothered by the lesson. We stayed there the whole morning because Sean still had separation issues but the school is ok about parents hanging about until the children are happy and settled in schools. And it just so happened that there was a birthday party today. So Sean got to eat cakes and sweets on his first day.

Just to check whether he liked the school we asked him, " Do you like the school?"
Sean: No (while playing toys)
Us: You don't want to come here?
Sean: No (while playing some more)
When it was time to go home, as usual, he refused to go. The teacher told him that he could stay overnight by himself. That got him going. =P

That's just Sean. So hard to get him to do anything and once he does it, so hard to get him off it. Oh yeah, the 'Yes' stage is gone now.

But anyway, we're enrolling him anyway. Once Sean gets into the routine, I'm sure he'll look forward to going to school in the morning. Did I mention the TOYS???? he he he.... I wish I was a child again, then I can go to this school =D
