you see, here we are. first we were just wondering what to name IT in my belly, and this week, we received a proposal from gymboree to send LP to their nursery school.
how fast is that? there we were, saying we'll cross the bridge when we get there about LP's education. indeed, the once a week Play&Learn hourly sessions aren't exactly academic, yet here we are with a proposal amounting to at least 75k for a schoolyear.
whoa. do we need this? i think 2 hours x 3 days per week (plus 1 day of 1 hour) sounds a bit hardcore for someone whose verbal repertoire consists mainly of hot, out and oh-wow. also i've read that at this stage, free and imaginative play is more important than a structured learning environment.
so, what to do? we are considering it, and will make time to attend the gymboree nursery briefing next saturday. also, it doesn't have to be gymboree. will investigate my playroom, for instance.
Ugh. But he's so young! I am not a fan of starting kids waaaay too early in a school environment. But then again, this is coming from the person who started school late, and never finished University because she hated the attitudes of her classmates.
ReplyDeleteduuude. i went to kinder then prep, and so on... but i do understand how some kids end up in school so young--parents need to find things for them to do. but that's what daycare is for. and the daycare system doesn't exist in the philippines.
