Tired :(

On Sat brought Isaiah to mac for breakfast again, met my mom there and we went to orchard and get some clothes for Isaiah. In the end spent $120 on clothes! Bought 4 tees at $17-$23 and one jeans at $40. Hubby said Isaiah clothes is so expensive. He can buy 2-3 jeans at $40! It has been some time that i bought clothes for him and most of it has outgrown. After that we went back home as we spent too much! haha
Went back my mom place and wait till hubby came to fetch us. Bought dinner home too as is very tiring to eat out.

Sunday, hubby had half day. Came home at 12pm and waited for Isaiah to wake up from his nap.
Went out at about 3pm to my mom place. in the end we went to iluma for dinner at the mahattan fish market. This time round we order more stuff end up all of us are so full!
Fetch my mom back home and we went to pick up my SB stuff and went back home.

Nothing much though so is a boring weekend.
Yesterday brought Isaiah to a preschool to take a look. is called Art kidz preschool. I love the environment and the teaching method. More to exploring and exposure of music and arts. Outdoor play, sand play and water play. They have the own sand play area and outdoor area.
This preschool is located at tiong bahru CC and environment is quiet and safe. They do have school bus too which is a plus point. The food they served was nice! they had morning snack of fruits, lunch like korean noodles, sushi, miso soup, tofu soup, pasta etc and afternoon snack of barley, sandwich, cakes etc. And every week their menu is different.
The environment itself was very comfortable. high ceiling right at the wall is open so air ventilation is very good. Alot of nice and educational toys and good teachers! Most of the students there are Japanese so they have jap and Mandarin classes everyday. Throughout all activies there will be one english and one Mandarin teachers around so kids are expose to 2 languages at a time. They have speech and drama, activities like gardening, backing, cooking, violin lesson,yoga and more. Of course at a young age they don't play the violin maybe until they are 3-4 yrs old. For 18 months they will let the kids listen and enjoy.
This is a non air con one which is good and their only air con room is dance and music room and i guess they nap there too.
Well, hubby and me is very satisfied and the timing is good. 9-3.30pm as i didn't want to leave isaiah there the whole day as he is still very young and i'm surprise that the principal have the same thinking too that parents should spend more time with kids.
However the price of it really makes us consider. Is about $750 per month after some promotion. And this is not a childcare school so it will not have any childcare subsidy of $300 each month. we have to pay $2250 every 3 months.
We are still considering. As our worries is that we will move end of this year or next year so isaiah will have to start to adapt a new environment and school after we move and hb was thinking to keep him at home first. But this school really impress us as is very hard to find a school with such teaching methods. Most schools are quite focus on education and brain development and i feel i don't want to add on such stuff to Isaiah yet. Mainly for him to enjoy and explore more in school.
Putting him is a good school is not easy. The fee wise is a big problem already as i'm not working. But we both think that to put him in a normal school which we have to trouble about the teachers teaching methods and bad stuff that he learn in school and end up giving us more problem which we didn't want to pay to let him learn such stuff. I'm not implying that PAP is not good! But we feel we should be more concern of the teachers and the kids he mixed around. you know kids learn from each other really fast.
Well maybe we should keep him at home for the time being. *Headache!!!*

No pictures! Going to work on my LO now :p
