Childcare!

Finally, Ms Piggy has started her childcare centre life!

Last Tuesday, 1st December 2009 was her 1st day! I took half day leave to send her there and accompanied her. The principal briefed us on the SOP and also manage our expectations of the childcare centre. From this briefing, it seems that a lot of parents actually withdraw their children from NxxC childcare centre & sent them here. (Both centres are separated by just one main road!)

Claire was extremely curious about the childcare centre and she was exploring the centre by walking up and down, looking for things to play with. She literally ignored me and she was happily playing with the toys in the centre.

On the 2nd day, PK took leave to accompany her there. She was clingy to PK, she almost got into a fight with another classmate over toys, not to mention she refused to finish her lunch. She still continue her exploration with the centre by walking up & down. The only time she was ok to be sitting down is during sing song session! Mum told me that she ate a lot when she was back home!

On the 3rd & 4th day, Piglet was extremely clingy to Mum and Mum can only sneak off when she was engrossed with toys or being distracted by food. Mum noticed that there is a classmate of hers that want to make friends with Claire. Her classmate was putting her hand on Claire's shoulders and leading her to play with her!

The teachers had to put 2 chairs near to the entrance to prevent Claire from going out and Ms. Piggy was so happy to see Mum when she came to fetch her home!

Starting from today, we will let her be in the childcare centre for the full day session. Mum told me this morning that Claire was all smiles when she worn her uniform for the first time to school. Mum also mentioned that Ms. Piggy was clingy and Mum can only sneak off when she was distracted by toys. I wonder how Claire will fare today!
