my 2.5-year daughter just began to go to the kindergarten on 1 March. I just want her to have more little friends to play with in the kindergarten, but not play with my helper all the time. Most of the time, she stays with my helper because my hubby and i work full time. Only on weekends we accompany her. And i have found she like playing with kids at her age quite much, but i can't find such kids to play with her often. And she seems afraid of meeting strange adults. she does not respond to strange people depite that they are friendly. I feel she needs to expose more to the outside world, but not always home. That's why i decide to send her to the kindergarten now. And she can handle many things by herself already. So i just give her a chance to try. If she is ok, then go on, if not. i'll wait for a few months untill this August.
the past few days, she seemed doing well. the 1st day, my helper and i went to the kindergarten with her together. She was in the class for one hour as advised by the teacher. The first half hour she played there without any problem. but during the break when the kids went to the washroom together, she did not want to enter it and cried. So my helper stayed with her in the second half hour. The second and the third day, she stayed in class for more than one hour. Today, she stayed there for the whole morning without my helper there. The teacher told me she's doing well. Sometimes she looked for my helper, but after being comforted by the teacher, she was ok. So next Monday, the teacher will let her take the school bus to return home.
I hope she will love going to the kindergarten because it must be more fun than staying with my helper at home. However, if it turns out she does not like it after a few weeks' try, i'll stop her to attend the class. All i want to do is to make her happy.
