How many people take care of the babies in the day time. If short-staffed, sending one off is a good idea. Half day is better than a full day at his age. Afternoon is nap time anyway.
With a younger b at home, he will learn to get along with other kids in time. No need to send him to school for this reason.
If he is scared of strangers, go to the park or play groups.
There are 2 camps. Some say it is not good to send kids to school at age 2, as they still need to bond with their parents. In UK, kids don't go to school till age 4. In USA, at least age 3. HK is not a "normal" society.
R u saying your 62,99 spoil the kid, so u want him out of his home? U know, at N1, they just play. They don't really learn anything. As for social skills, if he has a brother at home, he will learn in time.
U are paying for 育嬰園 and N1. Why not use the money and hire a Phil maid for 2 years? Then both kids can stay at home.
The big one can go to play groups instead. Grandpa can go with him and teach him to play with other kids.
My BB started go to N1 last month (Aug). She cried a lot and got fever at first. I had to take care of her emotion. It was also hard for me to experience that.
She is now very happy after one month adaptation. She is less shy, more polite and sing and dance a lot at home. It is better than staying at home with my Yan Yan.
My b started N1 at 2 as I have only 1 kid. He got sick after 1 week and learned a lot of bad habits, liking yelling, talking back, crying on the floor. As he is the youngest in class, he gets bullied a lot. He did not learn much (except fr me) and his manners got worse.
If I had 2 kids, I will not sent him there so early.
