Katakoe

Kemaren Senin akhirnya kita nyempetin jalan jalan, looking for better school for Sophie Helen around our neighborhood .

Kenapa kita cari sekolah lagi buat Sophie (1.5 years old), karena sekolah yang sekarang Tumble Toots (WAS the only place except Sophie at her age 13 months).

1. lokasi Jauh di Renon, it take hour to get there and hours back.

2. The Class run for hour, which in our case karena perjalanan jauh, Sophie nyampe ditempat need about 15 menits untuk adjusting then left 45 minutes to play.

3. The method, TT using lot’s wood stuff for kids exercise, or train their walk, which i think work for Sophie in a way, but the fact that lot’s wood stuff lay down on the floor make me as parent feel unsafe, meaning, Sophie can not run a round by her self without me or her Nanny follow her, meaning all activity have to be guard.

4. No safe soft play area

5. No outdoor play are

I am not saying that Sophie not have a good time, in fact TT encourage Sophie to walk, pertama kali join TT Sophie was crawling & cruising, she walk only 5 step but since arrive in Bali she wont do it at all, then she saw all her friend ( walking to 2 Class at TT) was mostly walking, I think that help her,  2 weeks after that Sophie was walk.

She is Happy, she dance and sing, clasp hand and wiggle wiggle.

Is just to far and to short and too many wood…

So, perjalanan kita Senin kemaren dimulai ke :

1. Bali Kiddy, lokasi di Jalan baru Malboro, this place new, maybe 1 years old or something….

Small class room for 12 – 14 kids dgn kursi meja untuk makan dan soft mat untuk activities.

They combine play & learn indoor and outdoor.

Nice safe soft play area (separate with the class)

Little safe swimming pool

Large garden

Nice welcoming feeling

English is primary

In general, we like it and so after see their price.

Kids are mix, Indonesian, Chinesse Indonesian, Mix married kids (like Sophie), western kids.

Our feeling  was, I think Sophie can play here…but no decision yet, we still have 2 place to visit.

2. Sunrise, lokasi di Pangubengan Kauh, been run for years, holistic place…

Playgroup and Kindergarten Room take one house or area each

Playgroup class take place in a little open house, with mat, chair and things around…

There is sand play area, the little wall made from concrete

Garden area for playgroup also separate from Kindergarten, there are one jumping old elephant, old swing, and little clim tali things

We was feeling uncertain…in away, saya suka the combination alam things but that me…now we talk about Sophie surround by lot’s tree, concrete floor and things that make my heart jump

Kids, mostly western and mix kids

3. Lollypop, lokasi di Gunung Salak, been run for years too

Large Building, nice and clean

Nice Kids City, our favorite…

Music room and pool

Nice School…yes school, meaning plenty of kids….from playgroup, kindergarten and elementary

I have nothing else bad about it

Saya kok not sure, I mean, when we talk about that’s amount of money…(You soon find out), she can get all that basic stuff from Bali Kiddy include the swimming, and we rather safe her edu fund for next level (elementary and up) and take other activities like dance class, swimming class, drawing class and music class.

They all (3 school) about 15 minutes dari rumah, jadi they all good selection in term of jarak.

Klo secara umum, semuanya ngasih learning program yang sama (we talk about Playgroup level) learn new things, introducing new thing, touch and taste, art and craft, dance and reading, watching movie, I think they all same.

Nach sekarang pertanyaannya, adalah tempat mana yang Sophie dan kami as parent feel more confortable with.

Sebelum melihat rincian money things, kami sudah memutuskan Bali Kiddy.

Dan setelah melihat rincian money thing, kita lebih yakin, Bali Kiddy.

Here they are

If you in Sanur area, you might want to visit, Cheeky Monkey and Doremi, they about same price range as Bali Kiddy and they also good.

All that said, klo pengen baby kita (under 2 year old) punya activities, or at least meet other kids and have fun together TT are option.

Okay den moms,

Any idea let me know.
