Preschool survey - Abraham Academy in Taipei

Although I have been in Early Child education for 10 years, I have seen so many bad examples that school owners could not take care of their own kids well. Not every mom can really teach their kids disciplines before the baby was 1 year old. I was so impressed when I saw one of my friends teaching her son manners on the table. The most unbelievable thing is that the baby boy really understood at that time. I am so sorry and also felt bad when I had a tea time and wasted food in front of that mommy. But the point is that I believe more about early child education after that lunch.

Abraham Academy www.abrahamacademy.com.tw is my first survey and recommended by Joyce's mom. As I know, many kids from kidsstoryroom are students there, including Vivian who is one of my favorite girl . Vivian is so cute, talkative and active. I was impressed when I saw Vivian talking to Jeremy nicely and fluently in English. So I decided to visit the school with Jamie. Every parent needs to make a reservation before visiting, and they would specially open an introducing hour for the parents. That afternoon, there are 6 moms with me. After filling-up the guest information, the principle, a serious middle-age woman showed up, and took almost 2 hours explaining her educational system for us.

The most difference from the others is that school asks kids to start memorizing the vocabulary from the first day of school, the age of 3.5. But the kids can be so active and lovely. Jamie decided to send her son there. It seems too early for me to do any decision, but I will really seriously consider for Eileen since now.

Eileen is 2 months now

Eileen is 2 months now. She drank 160 cc formula, so she is quite big now. However, she has been to the hospital 5 times and is always crying. I am so worry about her. Some friends of mine said that I need to change the formula and bottle, and also more massage for her. If it is still not working, I need to bring her to TaiAn hospital and find out the reason that makes her uncomfortable. So, do my best and also wish she can have a NICE Chinese New Year.

The Fortuneteller Said

The fortuneteller said that she is not able to go outside by 100 days. Otherwise, she will be a baby girl who is always crying and sick.
