3rd School Stop: Mind Specialist School – D. Tuazon, Quezon City

Bela had another trial class yesterday at Mind Specialist School. This school is recommended by one of Bela’s classmates at Little Gym. I was not able to go with Bela to attend the trial class since I was already on leave for two days, so my mom accompanied Bela to attend the trial class.

The first activity was again free play where kids can choose the toy or material that they want to play or work with. Right after free play is the circle time. At first Bela was enjoying joining the teacher and the other kids in singing even though they are singing in Chinese. But after circle time, Bela asked my mom to take her out. Even if my mom tried to divert her attention so they can finish the class, Bela still persist that they go out of the room. My mom took Bela first at the romp area so she can play some more and plans to take her back to class when she warmed up already. But she doesn’t like to play at the romp area either and she kept on saying “wow-wowo” (lolo) while pointing to the gate.

The rooms in Mind Specialist don’t have glass window either (just like in Cambdridge). Maybe that’s why Bela wants to go out. We observed kse na she is like that every time she is in an enclose room with no windows. We initially plan to go back again to attend another trial class and I will go with Bela this time but I figured that her reactions would still be the same because of the room issue.

So I guess Mind Specialist School is not the right school for Bela. Sayang kse it’s nearer our place compared to Makati and I liked the facilities, the program, the teachers, and the curriculum of the school. If ever nga na nagging Ok ang trial ditto ni Bela, I might enroll her here. Oh well, when it comes to our final choice, Bela will be the boss.
