2nd Day @ PlayGroup

Last Friday was Kayden's 2nd day at PlayGroup. As usual, left him at Infant side in the morning, let him "warm up" first before the teachers brought him over to join his friends at PlayGroup. Went to fetch him in the evening and he was watching some kiddo programme with the other kids who were waiting to be fetched home. Observed him for a while at the window and realised that he really enjoyed himself very much. =) Watched a bit of television, then went to the back and joined the other kids (all BOYS) to run around. He didn't cry or whine when he saw me. =)

Reached home, unpack all his stuff. Realised that the teachers never gave him any serving of MILK!! I prepared 3 servings and all came back untouched in the milk container! And, prepared 4 pampers, they only changed him ONCE throughout the 11 plus hours when he was there!! Luckily he did not develop any rash at the bum.

Kenneth and I were very angry as well as upset over this. Felt that as if Kayden was being "ill-treated". We went straight down to the centre the next day (which was a Saturday). Not all the teachers were on duty and spoke to the one who was there. Told her our concern and after talking for a long long time, when I asked who was the teacher in charge of PlayGroup, she replied "Actually it is me!" LOL. I think she was so afraid that I would bark at her and thus did not "declare" that she is the "culprit" upfront. LOL.

I told her, I understand that too many kids under her care (9 kiddos!!) and all I ask is to give him milk and change him regularly. =( Kayden is already so small and tiny, needs to drink milk more to beef up! She said she will give milk to him according to the timing that we specified. As for changing of diaper, they normally get changed after shower and also after their nap. (note: nap time is after showering, so is there a need to change again so fast??)

Guess we will monitor and see how it goes... If things never improve, we will consider changing to another centre or getting a maid (which is not very ideal). Coz really not worth to pay $900 every month and Kayden is not being taken care of properly. Sigh... =(
