Lin Yilong has no experience in taking care of children. In one way, he is afraid to take care of his daughters. Although he was often encouraged by the Yeon sisters and liked by his daughters, he managed to take care of them hurriedly for two days, and then transferred the heavy responsibility back to their mother. Naturally, it is impossible for the Yeon sisters to take care of their children when they work on weekdays. Tanya and Natasha have also been taken to Westbourn, a private nursery for business.
"Why go there?" When Lin Yilong made this decision, Vera asked. She was more inclined to let her mother take care of her.
"Because this is our daughter, not your mother's, or my mother's daughter." Lin Yilong replied, "It's helpless to help take care of. Moreover, both the Ye'ang family and the Lin family's thinking parents have their own lives. As children, don't let these elders continue to work hard. Do you think so?"
Back in South Wales, Lin Yilong will guarantee that Nadia and Vera can go to and from work safely without paying special attention to their daughters. The Yeon sisters entrusted him with this task. Just when they thought that Lin Yilong would hire a full set of nannies, baby keepers and early education teachers, Lin Yilong made his decision.
"We live too far away from the city. The girls need to get in touch with other girls, at least not so lonely." Lin Yilong further explained the basis of his choice, "I have also considered the University of Wales College Nursery in Nadia and the University of Wales Hospital Nursery where Vera works, but I think that if Tanya and Natasha can't enter the primary school in Mastah Town in the future, they must go to a better primary school, instead of going to the kindergarten directly from the nursery to the primary school, which can eliminate the need for small The child's maladjustment. "
This nursery is not an independent nursery, but a kindergarten nursery attached to a primary school. It is also set up to foster special interest in entering the school in order to enable employees and students working nearby to work and study better.
The nature of nurseries provided by many large companies in the San Francisco Bay area in South Wales and beyond the pond is completely different. The original intention of high-tech enterprises beyond the pond is actually very similar to that of enterprise kindergartens in the new era of the construction of the motherland, rather than a fully socialized nursery like Glamorgan County. The nurseries provided by Nadia and Vera's work units will not discount Tanya and Natasha's childcare fees because of their careers, which also breaks Lin Yilong's idea of letting the two daughters cultivate their interest in specific careers in hospitals or school nurseries.
Since both sides have to spend money, it's better to go to a nursery outside. The affordable nurseries cost about 35 pounds a day, but the quality is inferior to that of nurseries in universities and hospitals. Lin Yilong chose Westborn.
"Because this place can pick up the children at six o'clock at the latest, and there is enough time to decide who will pick up the children." Lin Yilong mentioned another point, "Sometimes it's good to cultivate a little interest."
"What about the tuition?"
"A month is about 1200 pounds." Lin Yilong took out his mobile phone and sent the downloaded PDF to the Yeon sisters. "This is the lunch price plus another calculation, so it seems that the price is very good."
Nadia's eyebrows twisted slightly. The price of the nursery has been exaggerated. A school year is based on a three semester system, with additional lunch fees. The cost of each child alone is about 1500 pounds per month. This cost is more than half of her Ph.D. funding. If she starts to work according to her ideal step by step, she can only afford her Tanika, and can't afford other money for some normal consumption.
"This price can stop many children in Bute City or Eli (both of them are in Cardiff's district, and most of the residents are urban workers)." Lin Yilong did not hide his prejudice, "Such a high cost of childcare can only be borne by families with dual workers, which is far less convenient than one party's resignation to take care of children. In addition, the difference in wages between male and female workers is also the reason why there are many full-time mothers in the center of Cardiff."
At this time, the Yeon sisters looked at Lin Yilong strangely.
"I'm not accusing you, I definitely don't mean that." Lin Yilong found the abnormality of the Ye'ang sisters and hurriedly saved his words. "Why not take the children there tomorrow to see if they would like to stay there?"
"Fine." Nadia nodded before Vera, "but how did you know this school, Yilong?"
"I happen to know an education consultant." Lin Yilong took out a business card from his wallet on the coffee table, "I asked him about the teaching of infants and young children in Wales, and then he strongly recommended that I choose a better private primary school with a nursery instead of looking for nannies and preschool teachers one-on-one from an early age, so I chose the best one, which is as simple as that."
"So you haven't investigated?"
"I just went there last night to have a look outside, which gave me a good feeling." Lin Yilong answered with some modesty, "I also found an independent agency to pay for consultation, and they gave the school an excellent rating. I have this initial impression of coming here."
The next day, Nadia and Vera, who were very worried, drove with their respective daughters to Westbourn, which was temporarily decided by Lin Yilong.
Although this private educational institution has a good reputation, its location is not ideal. It is just on the way from Cardiff to Bonas in South Glamorgan. It is more or less inconvenient for the Yeon sisters to pick up and send children.
The mothers of the children carefully inspected the facilities of the nursery, and communicated with the child care workers with some unskilled Russian accents. Another 100 pounds was spent to let the girls try to "adapt" here, and then went to the monitoring room far away from the girls to watch the children's adaptation.
Tanika and Natasha came here happily. When they saw their mothers again a few hours later, they were also smiling - although this made the Yeon sisters a little sad.
"We have open monitoring here, and parents of children can access the backstage through specific software to directly see the real-time images here." Ms. Eugene, the manager of the nursery, explained the system of the nursery to the Yeon sisters, "It is safe and sound. Our nursery staff all have the qualifications of pediatric nurses to ensure the physical and mental health of children. On this basis, if the children reach the age of three, they can add some tutoring classes arranged by the teachers in the lower grades of primary schools, such as instrumental music or painting, or try ballet. Now it is far away, and the children can be trusted to give us care. "
The Ye'ang sisters who didn't find anything wrong also thought it was good, so they chose it directly.
