Shekinah Montessori - Term 1 Lesson 1

After 14months of being SAHK - Stay At Home Kid, Mummy decided that it is time for Kelly to start playing with kids of her age group so that she will know what sharing is. We concluded that a centre near our place will be good, that will also give us no excuse to miss class.

After scouting around, we decided on Sekinah Montessori due to the nice, clean and cozy airconditioned classroom that they have. We like the idea of sanitizing all hands before entering the classroom to keep cleanliess to the maximum. While talking to the Principal on the courses available, we found out that the Parent-Toddler course starts with 18mths old and the youngest they will accept is 16mths. After much persuasion and assessment by the Principal, Kelly is accepted!!!

We arrived 15mins earlier to complete the registeration and Teacher Liana will be with us for the whole Term. The class starts with singing and dancing for the first 30mins and the last 30mins, the kids are allowed to work with any practical or sensory kits they want from the shelf. Kelly is the most active kid in her class, she goes around waving hi, smiling, dancing till we have difficulty getting her to settle down.
