Jeriel has been attending Church Nursery since he was less than 1 year old (about 9-10months old) every Sunday. Later, he was upgraded to Church Toddler when he was almost 2 years old.
He enjoys himself even though he is half sleepy because we attend 8am Church Service every Sunday.
Recently, he kept pointing to me Orange School Bus and said "Jie Jie sit Aunty Bus to school and carry bag."
Mummy : You want to go?
Jeriel : Want..Buy bag bring to school
Mummy : Want to go with car or bus?
Jeriel : Bus…
Mummy : Go school do what?
Jeriel : Colouring…
Mummy : Got sing song?
Jeriel : Got……..
Mummy : Read book?
Jeriel : Got………
Last week, we were looking for white shirt for him to wear in a church wedding. We couldn't find, so managed to borrow a few to try. While he was wearing the white shirt, then he would walk around..
Jeriel : Boy boy wears white shirt, sit Aunty Bus to school…
Hmm…where did he learn the idea of wearing white shirt is to go to school?
To send or not to send? Some people gave positive comments but some gave negative comments such as "So young", "Wah, so cruel lar", "Why give him pressure at young age", etc…..
After much discussion , we decided to send him since he loves going to Church Toddler. We want him to go and have fun with no homework. Since Mummy hardly has much time teaching him. He cannot memorize Nursery Rhymes, sing children songs etc like any other kids. Which is quite sad...Lousy Mummy..
We have not much option of Playschool/Kindergarten because we prefer a place which is nearby to Jeriel's nanny's house. We decided to pay a visit next month to the Tadika M during kindergarten time to see the environment. If everything goes well, will register Jeriel for next year because 3 & 4 years old classes are usually limited space compared to 5 & 6 years old.
As for tuition fees (must check whether got budget because nowadays can be very expensive), based on 2006 fees structure, the monthly fees is about RM160-180 (cannot recall) and after a fast calculation with all the misc fees, the total average per month including monthly fees is almost RM300.Hmm…quite ok not that very cheap but for Fungates system, it is the cheapest in Klang Valley. Of course we cannot compare with the Fungates founder in Alor Setar, Kedah as the monthly fees is only RM70-RM100.
Now for the transportation, we decided to let him sit Aunty Bus who has been a regular Bus Driver from Nanny's house to Tadika M. Jeriel's nanny said Aunty Bus has another helper behind to help kids up and down the bus. Fuih, what a relief because at first I was a bit concern him taking bus and he wanted very much to sit bus…
So this is the tentative plan until we bring Jeriel to visit Tadika M next month….
Any input from others?

My hubby has also been pestering me to enrol Ivan in pre school.. I'm very undecided.. for me, I'd rather he start later.. my ideas could be changed though...
Going thru the same thing with Emily. Pros & Cons, some kids really like preschool alot because of the exciting activities. Choose a good preschool and you will never regret.
Preschool is good because you get to learn some stuff and mix with other kids. But Putting them into a routine so early might be quite stressful later on. I think 3years old is a good age to start

Diff environment will make us make diff decision.

Looking for nearby for Jeriel to have fun..Have you decided for Emily?

Jeriel has to wake up early every day. Usually he will continue his sleep in the carseat until arrive nanny's place.
Really headache preparing to get our kids to preschool hor? But I've decided to send Des to Kindy next year when she's 5.
Since Jeriel seems interested to attend school, don't hesitate, let him try. I think he's ready.
good to give him a try, if he likes can continue, i think pre-school he can learn things faster too since got so many other kids together.
i've not come to this stage yet, so will take advice from all the experience moms :). So far haven't thought of it since faythe has playmate at MIL's house.
tracy
let him try next year and give nanny a few hours break..Nanny almost pengsan with all his monkey business...

Jeriel has playmate in nanny's house but when he see JieJie sit bus go to school, he also want. He enjoys going to church nursery, so oklah let him go next year...
