Agapeland Graduation 2008 concert

Last Friday was the graduation concert at Zach's current childcare centre, Agapeland. This is the third and final year he will be involved cos come beginning of 2009 we will be changing him to a new childcare centre, Cambridge. Agapeland will be closing in end 2009 but since Zach was going to be in K1 next year, Flem and myself thought it would be better for him to start in a new school when he starts K1 so that there is a better follow through all the way from K1 to K2. So even though it was not Zach's graduation concert, it still felt kinda different from the previous years, hmmm strangely, we felt sad after the event was over. I know Zach really like his present teachers and friends and will miss them all. Thankfully, one of his classmates Reagan will be going to his new school too and that kinda helped when I told him of the switch we needed to do next year. El who has been attending Agapeland once a week (every Tues when I attend my course) for the past few months have also grown attached to the teachers there. El had been sticky to me since he was a baby and would cry all the way whenever I left him in anyone else's care . Since he started going to Agapeland in July this year, he did the same and it took a while for him to adapt and though he still cries when I drop him off in the morning, the teachers tell me that now, he is fine throughout the day. If Agapeland was not going to close, I was also intending to put El in there eventually.

Anyway, in the midst of my search of a new school for Zach 1 to 2 months back, I decided to try Elliot out in a Kindergarten next year and thankfully, I managed to get El a place in Ascension Kindergarten which I had heard is a pretty good school. I was surpprised to learn that there are long queues for positions in many kindergartens and parents register very early in the year. Tomorrow is Elliot's orientation and he will be meeting his teachers and classmates for the first time and I just pray that he will enjoy it and tells me he wants to go school next year after the orientation tomorrow. His new kindergarten has a wooden train structure right in front of the office and he loves sitting on it and pretending to drive and at the moment he's kinda sold on that ;)
