Yixuan loves sending Jiaheng to school. Whenever she is asked "Do you want to go to school like Ge Ge?" You can be assured that the answer will be an absolute YES!
Mommy also observed that she is more ready in terms of her behaviour. Nowadays, Yixuan is able to go into Gym class by herself without clinging to Mommy. She will just turn round at the doorstep and give Mommy a big big smile, and then briskly go into the Gym class to start the routine.
As Yixuan is turning 2 and a half years old soon, Mommy decided it is time to source for a school for her. We must thank Jiaheng for giving us a good lesson in choosing pre-schools. So, this time round, the selection process was a breeze. We know what we wanted and from the 5 short-listed schools, we zoomed in to one... The Ascension Kindergarten. The only thing left is to pay the school and the staff a visit to ascertain that this is the school we wanted for our Princess.
And that is what we did today. We brought Yixuan along. The Ascension Kindergarten is similar to Marymount Kindergarten in terms of pupil strength. Compared to Jiaheng's current school, the pupil strength is easily 4x larger.
When we arrived, it was Assembly Time when all the children gathered for some songs and activities before school formally starts. I was actually a little shocked to see so many children in the hall. What ran through my mind was "Will Yixuan be scared to be with so many other children?" But when I took a glimpse of her face, my worries simply vanished. The look of enthusiasm was written all over her face. :)
The vice-principal who brought us for a tour of the school was very warm and friendly. The staff and teachers we came into contact with were also very approachable. The children looks happy in the school. The facility though a little old (can't help it lah... the school has a long history) is comprehensive. The curriculum sounds interesting. The teacher to pupil ratio is reasonable. Guess this is it!
Yippeee. Our Princess will be starting school in early July. :)

Ascencion, the KIndy with the light blue n white checked uniform?? Think it's not near ur place right? Oh ya, u're moving to TP, so shouldn't be that bad I guess..
yes. It is that Kindy. It is part of the St. Andrews' Village. They provide school bus transport too to TP.
Why not place her at Newton Kindy? Same school as En hehe... Think the diff is emphasis on diff lang.. Seems Ascencion will have spelling while Newton will have 听写. Poor kidz...
Actually, I am quite keen on a missionary school. Previously, I heard of comments abt children coming from missionary school having good foundation in English. Later I did see that Jiaheng's vocab getting stronger after joining Zion Kindergarten. For Yixuan, it was more Mandarin based for her at home. (contrary to Jiaheng), so I thot having a school that has more emphasis on English will be good for her.
