My lil' button's child care centre

I send my little button at a day care centre provided by my employer. It's nearby the office, parents can come and visit/breastfeed anytime,the place is highly secured and the facilities are tip top - senang hati mama ayah kat opis.

When I was in my last trimester (maybe end april/ early may), Tunas Kijang conducted an open day, which was timely as I had planned to send in my child there. We were welcomed and was given a briefing. After that, we were given a tour around the building by the school teachers and also briefed on the montessori method that the centre adopt. There is a quota for each level of kids here, and they also accept infants as young as 2

months old.

Well, those are some of the pictures taken, thanks to Encik Mon and Af. So far, the place is very hygienic la, there are a lot of hand sanitizers around the school, kids are taken body temperature each time they enter their classrooms, towels are asked to be replaced daily, etc. Besides that, selalu jugak ada PTA meetings, sports/games day between teachers and parents.

So far, all the teachers at little button's classroom adore him as well as his friends' parents. The parents nicknamed him 'happy baby' :)) if he is one happy baby, then I am one happy mama, alhamdulillah ~
