what is your opinion, and what do you do?
my mind tells me that this is insane, and i don't want to be caught up in the hk craze of "educating" my child sooo early!
i was thinking of going to a playgroup with her maybe once a week next year, or attend a music lesson. and basically letting her play with other kids at home or outside. wouldn't that be enough?
i've taught in a kindie before (not on the 2-y-old level, though), and if i remember well, most of the time was spent bringing the kids to the wc, having them eat snack and letting them play smthg or sing songs..
or is it that parents simply want to have some 'time off' by sending their little ones to a nursery so early? thank you for your inputs :) |
My understanding is some schools allow you to send in the nursery application form when your child has turned 1. This way you'll most likely have a spot at the school, as we all know good schools have long wait lists.
Hope it helps.
