Daycare

No, I am not helping any daycare centres to do promotion. I thought it was nice to see Emily’s picture being used in their advertisement (the owner got my permission before publishing ).

I believe every working parent have challenges when it comes to looking for a good daycare centre for their kids. There are so many centres out there to choose from and many critierias to look into.

It took us awhile before we finally decided to send Emily to this daycare based on some criterias of ours :

• - Food tops our list as we are always very cautious about the food that we serve to her, in terms of quality and hygiene.
• - Environment of the centre, eg. good air ventilation, class room size.
• - Qualifications of teachers, eg. Experience, caring and responsible.
• - School Fees.
• - Extra co-curriculum activities during school holidays.

I am not saying 100% of our critierias are met as nothing is perfect. Most importantly Emily is happy to go to the centre everyday and enjoying the food there.

To quote an example, last weekend I cooked porridge with fried fish and another dish. She kept whining that she didn’t like porridge though she did finished it up. Yesterday, she happily told me that her daycare prepared porridge with 7 types of ingredients in it and she “sapu” 2 bowls during lunch time J
