1 Mar 2011 - Jo En's new journey in Childcare

Same as other 'kia su' parents, we hope she can learn more things in childcare, rather than just watching tv when we have no time to entertain her :p

For the first 3 days, parents are allowed to accompany child for full day. This give opportunity to parents to know 'childcare's life' that their child going to be. This is also a good chance for teachers to get more information from parents about child's habits and style.

Below are Jo En toddler class routine activities.

7:30 - 7:45 am - Walk with daddy and mummy to school. Stroller is not allowed as no place to keep the stroller.

7:50am - Screen for temperature, check mouth, hand and feed before enter the class. That is the time where Jo En will start crying! Teacher then will hug her and bring her to wash hand.

8:00 -9:00 - Breakfast, assembly time.

9.00 - 10:00 - Circle time. Kids sit in circle with teacher, split 2 two groups, learning english and mandarin, colors, face impression, arts work etc.

10:00 - 11:00 - outdoor activities like sand play, water play, walking 2 by 2 etc.

11:00 -12:00 - wash hand, rest, drink water. The kids will automatically sit at their own place and drink water, wait for lunch to be served! Lunch can be porridge or rice, follow by fruits. To me, the portion is not enough for Jo En as she eat much more at nanny house. That's is why nowadays she always eat a lot at home for dinner, haha...

12:00 - 12.30 - Bath time, again is time for Jo En start crying!

12:30 - 3.30 - 3 hours nap time. Jo En usually falls asleep while drinking milk before nap. according to teacher, she sleep well even thought she did cry occasionally. The room is windy and nice for sleeping. Teacher will only turn on the light sharp at 3.30pm. Other kids who wake up earlier, they will not stand up and run here and there, they just lay down and talk slowly to friends, I am so impressed when seeing such discipline group of child.

3.30 - 4.00 - Tea Break
4.00 - 4:30 -Wash pet pet, change diaper.
4.30 - 5:00 - drink milk
5:00 - 5:30 - free & easy, play with lego and toys.
5:30 - 7:30 - Get ready to move and join other class, waiting for parents to pick up.

After the 3 days accompany Jo En at childcare, I think in future in my retire plan, I can consider to be childcare teacher (half day) ^-^
