The move to California was a big one for me, but for the kids it seemed to not make too much difference. We did our research for pre-schools and then finalized on Mission College Child Development Centre which has amazing ratings. Thanks to Archana for suggesting it.
The first visit did not have a great impact on me. I had my own apprehensions and doubts. But, Amuktha adjusted amazingly well. Karina, her teacher is wonderful. The best Amuktha has had so far. She made her feel at home and always welcomed her.
Amuktha is shy but she adapts really well into a new situation and now I see her blossom.
As for Gowri, this was her first time staying out of home. She is taking her time adjusting. Even after a couple of months at school, she still has her days when she does not want to go there. She has her set of favorite teachers - Marsha & Simar ( she calls then maisha & simay). But, the first day after school when I asked her what her teachers name was, she said Koyta and I have never been able to figure out who that is. But, she is just 2, am I doing the right thing as a mom to leave her there? Am I always going to be in this dilemma? But, I have slowly started liking this school, not sure about Gowri though.....
