而家好多Pre-School 都話自己係Montessori教學法，但有幾正統？無人知！
因為ＤPre-School係咁二掛名叫Montessori就會收貴Ｄ學費！
有ＤPre-School係全部老師有受過Montessori 訓導，學校又有牌。最好查清楚學校Montessori的定義由邊 ...

purplechili,

Cupertino都幾好住架，校區都唔錯，不過現在越來越多中國人和印度人住，又不断建新屋，攪到有啲人口過擠，但買唐人嘢就好方便。

你任San Rafael，有冇去Sausalito嘅Bay Area Discovery Museum？早2個月我同MattMatt去過1次，佢玩得好開心，唔肯走，一直想再去，但唔啱時間。我都唔知佢吸收幾多，但會繼續帶佢去。星期三約了朋友去San Jose Children Museum，希望MattMatt鍾意，佢有時好睇心情，唔肯參與。

Hi yungah,

我唔肯定對所有小朋友有用，試下無妨！如果你都有Ｄ差唔多的玩具，又唔洗克意去買其他同樣funcion 囉，浪費錢。

我住係San Rafael即係 S F北面，過左Sausalito大約 15mins車程就到。你住Cupertino呀！即係 Redwood Ci ...

bunnymonkey,

你個仔仔14個月大，都可以試吓同佢去museum或zoo。我都怕浪費入場費，所以我都係free day或有discount才去，好多museum都有free day。Bay Area Discovery Museum，每個月第2個星期六是free day，嗰度有一part專俾我哋呢啲咁細嘅小朋友，又有條河佢哋可以扮捉魚，但記得同仔仔帶多套衫和外套，嗰度都幾大風，上次MattMatt捉魚捉到全身濕哂，好在我一向擺好套衫喺車，咁先冇冷親。

而SF Zoo，每個月第一個星期三是free day，不過你上班可能去唔到，兼夾我覺得SF Zoo唔係咁啱太細小朋友，MattMatt上次去唔係好enjoy。反而上星期六同佢去Vallejo嘅Six Flags Discovery Kingdom，佢好開心。Six Flags個動物園幾好，與动物距離近啲，又有表演，MattMatt仲餵長頸鹿和第一次坐機動遊戲--青蛙跳和Thomas火車。我都唔知MattMatt知唔知做緊乜，但當佢知喇。雖然遠咗啲，但見個仔咁開心，乜都值。但入場費都幾貴，如要去記得問吓有冇朋友有season pass，呢兩個月每個passholder可用$9.99買票帶一個朋友去，我都係因為咁才去。

你仔仔上daycare，已有好多機會同其他小朋友social，可以唔去Gymboree都得。我俾MattMatt去gymboree都係因為我自己凑，仔仔冇乜機會同其他小朋友social，我教佢野佢又唔啋我，想佢学吓其他小朋友。如果你返gymboree，返邊個campus？我哋返Westgate Mall，但聽完Nillie_Mami講Statan Island個導師，我就覺得Westgate嘅導師唔係咁好，全部導師我都試過，個個一樣。

whalebb,
你意思係照俾你囡囡去讀開個間呀？咁佢鍾意都冇所謂既，但如果上到去Ｋ１以上，我諗俾佢讀返正宗會好Ｄ，始終會偏向返Montessori 既教學宗旨！反正係咪都要洗咁多錢！

其實除左Montessori, 仲有好多Alternative教學法係美國本土現全, 例如Waldolf 或 Bilingual（雙語學校）。要搵岩學校係好頭痛，如果你有興趣，試下去Pre-school Fair，通常係一年一至兩次有好多間Pre-school參加呢Ｄ展覽同招生架！
你咪可以一次過拎晒單張比較下再去學校親身考察囉，我同我老公都去左幾次，搵左幾間岩心水之後再去學校親身睇過，我囡囡雖然要等到出年先可以入學，但搵定都差唔多,因為好既學校唔係易入,而且比較真係會渣正要２歲９個月先可以入學。去 Fair時最好得你兩公婆去會冇咁易俾你個女分神！但去到學校視察就最好帶埋佢去，睇佢反應！

recently i realized that it's very true that people always said "no matter which school the kid goes to, his/her success is always depend on how the parents teach him/her at home".
i really need to learn from u guys how to teach my own kid. i feel a bit guilty that i haven't taught him much. i only remembered i taught him count from 1 to 10 when he walked up/down the stairs at 18 months old and sang the ABC songs with him.
when he just swtiched to his current preschool last year, i didn't like the idea of giving homeworks to the 3-yr-olds. however, now i thank them that they made me and my husband to teach him at home.

btw, when i did the researches on the schools these days, i realized that the good schools usually have better educated parents. i saw some uneducated parents who make lots of money by having their own businesses, but they don't care much abt their kids' education.

bunnymonkey,

我都係囡囡歲半大先開始帶佢出去多Ｄ。之前都係去公園打韆鞦咋。佢而家２歲４個月啦。可能暫時得佢一個細路，所以我好心機Ｄ掛，多多個我就唔知會點啦。其實都好辛苦，又要做埋家務，買菜煮飯更唔少得。好彩佢而家 ...

係呀!我想唔讀也唔得因我己交哂錢

不過我大女新同學來自不同pre school
問佢地家長意見也話我住的學區的pre school學術太淺.....
連長排waiting list果間也唔掂寫字課程太淺
課程好果間我大女讀過學校哀到死
總結是無間好
我想住Kindergarten上public school
因我媽也是因呢間公校先買現在間屋
不果真的好多謝妳的意見重有Nillie
好高興認識妳地

我和我老公也無咩學問
自已以前在香港教過幾年幼稚園也攪唔掂自已兩個女
我也是無咩教我比哂人地教

我只是比佢地剪下紙,coloring同每晚講故事
仲有每星期六去library一次仲有比佢地玩砌圖
大女現在己玩到300 pics
同我大女今年開始比佢學多d野piano, taekwando同心珠算
不過最近佢自已選擇了只學Paino 和 Taekwando
因佢話受不了心珠算好悶無興趣咁我覺得應民主d答應佢
妳有無想想比bb第日學Taekwando?
記不記得我大女不出聲問題?
佢自從學了後有自信同活潑了許多
做事也習中了我好開心
不過我知道仍然要take time同陪佢
其實我不太祈求兩個女佢地特別"口力"
我只望佢地不會學壞和快樂

yungah & bunnymonkey,

你地屋企附近有冇圖書館？有的話帶你地ＢＢ去丫！通常圖書館都附設兒童圖書部。ＢＢ都去得，Ｄ人唔會俾眼色你地。咁佢地會定時係間房仔到有個西人講英文story，做下公仔show同唱下歌仔咁，免費入場架。我耐唔耐就帶個女去圖書館到聽下story ，順便租Ｄ新書／係個到flip下Ｄ書仔囉。我覺得都係一種好既娛樂。

我大仔未出世時﹐都SPEND好多時間同他一齊玩呀﹐又教下他少少野.. 但細仔出世後無噤得閒﹐E+只有同大仔一齊唱歌跳舞和講STORY﹐有時都仲有玩FLASH CARD﹐有時又劃下畫等﹐不過再無教他認字了。原本想仔仔9月返學﹐去了幾間DAYCARE看過﹐3-4歲學果D其實仔仔好多都已經識左﹐我怕他返學失去學習興趣﹐所以最終決定等呀仔3歲先入學...

我個仔都係18個月先開始教認字同講story﹐初初他都唔係噤SO我﹐但大大下反而有時他主動要求我講...

細仔﹐我稔我唔會噤早教他ABC同其他野了﹐等他入學才學啦... 可能都係會好似NILLIE噤﹐等他入學前學下SOCIAL 先..

purplechili,

上星期第一次帶MattMatt去library，我哋冇上storytime，但就有同佢睇吓書仔，我抱住佢想同佢講故仔，但佢唔肯死要落地行，最終喺library行足1個鐘，可能第一次去覺得好新奇，睇吓遲啲好唔好些。

我只係想Amanda 日日返學都覺得好新鮮, 返學過得充實啲, 日曰放學就返嚟教我佢喺學校學咗乜.. I am her best audiance.

一間好嘅day care/preschool 係好重要, 家長同長輩好重要, 而小朋友本質同有冇spoiled 都同樣會影响outcome..

大家要好努力啊! 大家都係希望自己嘅小朋友長大後, 條路易行啲..

sy_mom,
有冇打算俾sean 學乜課外活動? 肥bear 好想Amanda 學piano, $17/hour.. 唉! 我知學piano 可以improve EQ.. (Amanda EQ好低)... 但$17/hour.. 我要over time 呢~

nillie,

wow! $17/hr for piano class is really cheap wor! if it's private, it's very very good price!

sean's just started to take the group piano class (for ages of 3-5) abt a month ago. the maximum # of kids in the class is 8; however, only abt 4 kids so far. it's 45-min class. the teacher taught 15 mins teaching musical notes, 15 mins introducing other musical instruments and free play, and only 15 mins left on playing piano (so only abt 5 mins spent on teaching each kid on the piano - review one song and teach one new song). tuition is abt $300 for 12 sessions (of 45-min each). so it's $25 for each 45-min class.
if it's private lesson, they charge $65 to $80 per hour. the private lessons are charged month by month and there're no refunds or make-up classes if u miss it (unless with doctor's note).
surprisingly there're all boys in sean's group piano class. i heard that most girls starting from age 3-5 will usually go straight for the private lessons (since girls at the same age are usually more mature than boys).

other than group piano class, he also goes to the Little Gym, swimming class, and drawing class. although he's kinda picking up in the group piano class and drawing class, he doesn't show much interest in them. but he still likes going to the classes just becoz he wanna hang out with other people.
my friends also suggested he goes to the soccer team class as they think he plays soccer so well, but i think there're too many activities for him now and he also has homework from preschool (abt 15 pages every 10 days when he was 3-yrs-old last year). also i'm a bit afraid that he'll break his leg coz he's 好狼 when he plays soccer.
