Mummy wanted to home-school little Grace, but due to shortage of materials, it's almost impossible to do so. And to make matters worse, daddy didn't believe in home-schooling and he feels that mummy's so called "home-schooling" is a waste of money and is an excuse for mummy just to buy more "toys" for the kids!
So, fine! Yesterday morning, before mummy went to Bugis Junction to meet the aunties for lunch, mummy decided to bring Grace to Shichida Kindergarten and registered her for 2010 Pre-Nursery classes. The reception aunty was very nice. She waived the $150 registration fee since Grace was an ex-student of the SM class so mummy only paid the deposit of $800 for now.
The reception aunty also informed mummy in Dec, she has to make another trip down and pay for Grace's Jan fees and to purchase the uniform.
Mummy happily went home and "report" to daddy that she had registered Grace for kindergarten. Daddy was happy initially until he heard "Shichida", and when he was informed of the fees, his jaws just had to drop... :P
Logistics of getting her there and back hasn't been worked out yet for the time being, but mummy thinks Grace should be taking the school bus home since classes are from 8-11 am only. And according to the reception aunty, the school bus ah chek will likely charge daddy another 80-100 bucks for the trip home.. :)
Daddy asked "what about her twice a week Montessori enrichment classes that she's attending now?"
Mummy thinks Grace should still continue with that, but maybe at a different time slot since it will benefit her too..
Daddy says he's going to faint.. :)
Daddy, home-school cheaper right? :P
