In addition to the daily playschool that Chloe is attending, Mommy found out about this playgroup located at Kiliney Road that offers one-and a half hour sessions on weekends on singing, dancing, story-telling, and of course, play. We were concerned that the daily playgroup session wasn't very structured and that the teacher didn't seemed to be very competent or equipped to be a toddler teacher, never mind her claims to be a retired secondary school teacher and all. We decided to enroll her for this other weekend playgroup for 1 term and see how it goes.
Now there is a different theme each week, based on the story being told at the start of each session. With that the toys and games designed in the playroom would be different. The class size is kept to about 10 toddlers, with the parent by their side all the time also participating in the session. There would be around 4-5 teachers to tend to each session, compared to just 1 teacher and a helper in the daily sessions that Chloe is going to. Needless to say, all these added features would cost more.
One term has come and gone, and things have improved at the daily playgroup. A new teacher had replaced the previous one, and this teacher seemed more competent, with more organised activities for the kids. With that, we decided not to enroll for another term at the weekend playgroup. Studying/playing from Monday to Friday seemed quite sufficient for now.

Little Chloe looks so grown up now, esp. in those jeans :)
Yeah, in a twinkle of an eye, she is already reaching two years of age. Our blessings indeed to have her in our life....
