We’re going out and enjoy fun places like Sentosa’s Palawan Beach!

Here in Singapore, Nursery and Kindergarten kids generally spend an average of three hours at school.

Before or after those three hours, however, some may have been signed up for tuitions, enrichment classes and other extra-curricular activities.

If the child is in K2 (Kindergarten 2, also known as ‘pre-school’, ie. one year before the child enters Primary One), some parents also send the child to extra classes and enrichments in a hope to better ‘prepare’ him/her for Primary One’s higher academic expectations.

[For Anya's case, so far, she has ballet once a week, and Chinese enrichment class once a week too, right after school]

I don’t know if I’m the ‘odd one out’, but while I still can, I prefer to keep my kids’ days less ‘busy’ with programmed schedules (especially since they’re only three and five years old).

I mean, if my kids attend Primary schools here in Singapore, they’d naturally be busier with school, its homework, exam preparations etc anyway.

So, while they are still NOT in such a phase yet, I’d like my kids to have the option of enjoying ‘free and easy’ days (usually our ’spare time’ is right after their afternoon naps).

Like having arts and crafts session together on one day, and playground time on another.

Helping out with dinner preparation on one day, and biking around the neighbourhood on another.

Or, … going out and about to fun places like Sentosa’s Palawan Beach late in the afternoon, like we just did earlier this week!
