Weishan and Kim Seng (Nathaniel Cheong's parents)
Red SchoolHouse @ Upper Thomson
Dearest Teachers Rachel, Katherine, Ying, and all at Red SchoolHouse,
It was with a heavy heart that we pulled Nathaniel out from his former preschool. He was crying often, and generally unhappy and tired whenever we picked him up from school. He was usually always waiting at the front door, and wailing, whenever we picked him up in the evenings.
During Nathaniel's one month break at home with me (as I was on maternity leave), I chanced upon Red SchoolHouse and what caught my attention initially was the amazing outdoor rooftop playground that most preschools didn't have. I contacted the school, and Teacher Katherine brought my husband, Nathaniel and I on a lovely and detailed tour around the premises. The school was warm and inviting - and we decided (almost in a heartbeat) to enroll him in.
Nathaniel took a few weeks to adjust to the school in June, and by the third week of June - was very well settled in. What warmed my heart were the very frequent videos/ photos/ phone calls that I would receive from Nathaniel's teachers (especially his form teacher Natalia) with updates on how he was managing at school. He was always very happy whenever I picked him up, actively engaging in activity whenever I walked into his class room to look for him! He was no longer waiting at the school door in tears - and instead, he was enjoying his time at school with his friends and teachers.
What I've also enjoyed are the frequent Facebook updates by Teacher Si Ni, and the twice a month homework assignments which would allow the parents to work together with our children on. These are usually collages, or activities that we could do together as a family.
We thank God for this 'not by chance' encounter of Red SchoolHouse. Nathaniel clearly enjoys school and it does lessen greatly the working parents' guilt that we sometimes have!
