We went to check out the Japanese day care yesterday. Currently I'm not working, but I am seriously considering to go back to work. Nothing is decided at this moment because we're planning to visit Japan this autumn and my job search situation etc. But I heard sometimes it takes months before your kids can get into a daycare, so I decided to go ahead and visit.
Couple of my friends' kids go there, so I knew what to expect, more or less. The building is kinda old, doesn't have the best curb appeal or anything, but hey, what's inside counts, right?
Each class has two teachers who speaks Japanese and English, and it seemed like they took turns and did songs / books in both languages.
The head teacher let Amane stay in the class while we took a tour of the daycare. Amane decided to sit with other kids for the book time and didn't care I let the room. I guess that's a good sign.
Overall, I liked it a lot, my friend told me that they provide pretty good lunch ( mostly Japanese food) and all the stuff were friendly. And I think it'll help her to improve her Japanese, too. I am planning to look few more places, I hope we can find something suitable for our family.
昨日は日系のデイケア（託児所）を見学に行ってきました。雨音もこの10月で2歳、家で大人（私）とばかり過ごすより同年代の子供達と思う存分遊んだ方が良いのでは、特に海晴が産まれてからは手を掛けてあげられないのもあって、と思うようになった最近。
日本語も学べるし、家からも近い、更に友人の子供達も通ってるという事で入学を検討してるこのデイケア。
建物の年季の入り具合と外の色褪せた遊具にややひるみながら訪れたものの、中は清潔そうだし、園長先生も大層きさくなお方。
説明を聞く間、雨音を1歳児のクラスに参加させて下さいました。みんな座って絵本の読み聞かせの中、新しいおもちゃを発見しふらふらと彷徨う我が娘を横目にみながら他のクラスを見学。
各クラスに英語と日本語が母国語の先生が1人ずつ、授業は２カ国語で進んでる様子でした。
待機リスト決定かと心配してましたが、「ま、大丈夫そうです、いつでも」という力強い、と同時に若干心細いお返事。
こちらも秋の長期の帰省や、私が社会復帰しようかな（再就職です、悪さをした訳ではござんせん）等々まだ未確定要素満載のため仕方ないか。
他もまだ見てみる予定ですが、やっぱバイリンガルというのは大きいな、我が家の場合。
