Nursery Hunting Again

Now that we have moved, it is time to scout a nursery for Lucas again. I must said it is a tedious task. This new neighbourhood had limited choices and most of them are still quite inexperienced. I tried one last week, a franchise kindy. I find that the syllabus is a bit too heavy for a two and a half years old. There are half an hour of serious reading (with book and repeating after the teacher). Lucas can't even sit still for 10 mins!. The turn-off factor is the kindy is on a second floor shop lot, meaning there is no playground and outdoor activity for the kids. How can they not have that. I strike the kindy out.
Then I tried another kindy which is on a corner house. It is a neighbourhood type of kindy. The syllabus are very relax - basically play. However, I seems to have different school of thoughts from the teachers there. The teachers believe I should sneak off and let Lucas cried if Lucas refused to let me go. I think otherwise. I thought I should not sneak off. Lucas must know that I am leaving and pick him up later when he is crying. The teacher also has been bribing the kids with junk food and telling the kids grandmother's tale. Yesterday, Lucas said 'Everybody said cannot go under the sun'. I asked why. He said 'Get fever' and touched his forehead. Dominic was not impressed at all. Sigh....looks like I need to look for another nursery ...
