And finally, after sleepless nights deciding where my daughter would attend school I found one that was near our place and where my daughter would hopefully enjoy and grow. (fingers crossed!)
The preschool is relatively new. I think they opened only about 4years ago. But I was willing to try this school because of the ff reasons:
- it’s near our place
- low student-teacher ratio. for Kinder 1 they have 10-15 students max per class.
- very accommodating teachers
- the rooms were airconditioned and very lively..err colorful. The students’ art works were displayed on the walls.
- they use progressive-montessori method as a way of teaching
- the directress was a former teacher at Early Achievers and I guess she adapted almost everything in her preschool (the rooms were almost the same as early achievers, uniform is checkered and almost sailor type too hehe)
I hope I made the right choice. I just want my daughter to enjoy and at the same time learn without being pressured too much. I already enrolled her so everything is paid for. The price of the school uniform i found a bit steep. The price of the blouse was different from the price of the jumper. And prices also differ according to size. Students are to wear the uniform from Mod-Thurs. Then P.E. uniform on fridays.
On the way to the school pala I was telling Iya nga that we are going to enroll her already. And she got really excited! What she said next caught me by surprise:
“And then mama when iya goes to school you will leave me alone okay? you just stay home!”
huhuhu… she can’t wait to get rid of me!! 
My little girl is really ready for school!

congrats for the end of the school hunt. at last, you’ve found a school na mukhang promising ang offerings. maganda ang approach ng montessori–they teach kids the non-traditional way, more of learning through play.
wawa naman si Mommy, just stay home na lang daw while Iya’s in school.
