Have you ever been wondering what kind of kindergarten are you sending your kid to? Every times abuse case being reported, my heart skipped.. How has my kid been treated in the kindergarten? Has she being treated well? Or is she enjoying her time in school? Well, let me tell you this, you can find all this answer in Goshen.
I have enrolled Lea at the age of four to Tadika Impian Harapan (Goshen) with the aim of having the pre school exposure for her. She was brought up in a typical Chinese family with her is the only focus and the apple of the family. Undoubtedly, she has a very lovely feature, but the only thing with her is that she is a very demanding and arrogant she has become. Do not mention on sharing things with others.
We have a hard time to teach her to behave, to be good and to follow instruction. Each attempt we made, it makes even harder for us to improvise for the next shot. At some point, we are really running out of idea. But things change, tremendously after a few months her enrollment in Tadika Impian Harapan.
She became more cooperative, cheerful and never once fail a day to inform us that she want to go to school. It was something that every parent would be pleased to hear. Every day, when she comes home she will show us the new set of word cards that she got, with enthusiasm to ask us to have a role play. She will be the teacher and I will be the pupil. To my surprise, she learns a lot through playing and role play. Even learning Bahasa in singing songs. I never knew class can be that fun.
The kindergarten has given me a new perspective on how kindergarten should be. Being a responsible, transparent and responsive kindergarten, I would say they have done a very good job to ensure the place is hygienic, maintain and well guarded (under surveillance). What’s more can I ask than knowing my kid is having her good time and safe at the kindergarten.
There is nothing more precious than seeing your own kid growing up with a happy childhood, and that is precisely what I’m going to get for her.
