This is the 1st week of pre-school for our boy (20 months old). We are doing half-days and managing both the drop-off and pick-up for now. The pre-school is about 5 mins drive away from our place so it’s convenient enough for us to do so. There is another pre-school that is located closer to us (within 5 mins walking distance) but it doesn’t have any outdoor space because it’s located in a shopping mall. We prefer the current pre-school, which has its own grounds and plenty of outdoor space for play and sports activities. Not surprisingly, this is reflected in the school fees as we are paying more than S$1,000 after subsidy every month for the full week half-day program. Anyway, my wife could accompany our boy for the first 2 days of pre-school on Mon and Tues but he was on his own from Wed onwards. He’s still crying and looking for us occasionally but it’s slowing getting better with each day....
