dodo, some popular places have waiting list of 2+ yrs. was told by some friends to register hannah NOW if we want to get her into those popular schools. faint!
gingerleaf, i think it's only compulsory to send your child to primary school. nursery and kindergarten are optional. but it's a good stepping stone for them. otherwise will be very hard for them to transition to pri 1.

talking about those "accidents" in malaysia always sends a shiver up my spine, cos a family friend ever kena before. her car got hit and she ended up in hospital and all her belongings were stolen. she had to see a physiotherapist for a few months after that, cos she kept having recurring pains. whoever is driving around in malaysia, please be very very very careful.

"schooling"
I think MOE allows home schooling as well if you want to and complusory schooling is till Pri 6.
Those nursery or playgroup are for normally for children 18mths onwards. Guess most of the reason is that the parents need to work and hence it's better to send them there to learn something and normally they opted for full day since the charges are the same and more convenient for working parents.
My friend send her boy to one of the playgroup and she is a SAHM. Her boy is about 3 years old now and he himself suggested to be there for a full day so that he had more time to play with the rest of the group! But just like the rest, he was down with HFMD a few weeks back and am glad that his was just a minor one and recovered quickly!!
I'm thinking whether it would be better to send them for enrichment classes instead of those full/half day session till they are much older?

totoro, erm.. few feedback from my colleagues.. all of their feedback has something in common: kid goes to school one week. fall sick & recovery & mc one week. go to school on 3rd week. fall sick & recovery & mc 4th week. i dun intend to send her for such playgroups.. only starting at nursery.. will look for enrichment classes meanwhile for those years before that.. =)

I was thinking of that as well. Will sign her up for those enrichment class and only send her to school when she reached 3 years old maybe.
Only concern is that I need to come up with a program so that my parents can introduce her new things everyday!! Guess in school they also do around the same thing right??? Play on their own, sing song, watch enrichment programmes and nap???

You can go for Early Childhood Diploma. It's a must for pre-school teacher now I think and some poly and private school have that programme.
If I have the time and money, I don't mind going for that as well.
Then we can all gathered together and start our own Preschool .. ha ha ( OPPSSS ...!!! )

i teach in a montessori school.
so we only take in kids min 2 yeas old.
for normal playgroups its more singing songs..art and craft, music movement,some schools have mandarin some don't.
it really depends on the school itself and what they offer. it really varies.
montessori schhols do the above but also let the children learn self help skills and motor skills. like pouring spooning threading..

As a teacher, you would have to take extra precaution also right everyday after work and going back home to your girl. So what is your plan for your girl?
hippo
Guess that's what they normally do mah!! Basically, it's a place to "deposit" them with a high fee and hoping that things will turn up well and they learn something at the end of the day!!
