God is truly amazing!
Since we will be based in Taiping until December, we thought that Tricia can still have a few months to go to school and maybe enroll in an art school. Tricia's cousin Timothy is enrolled in one of the Tadikas here and so we also thought of checking out his school and see whether they can still accept Tricia as one of the students since it's already at the middle of the school year.
Then, yesterday we saw an ad in the newspaper about the Da Vinci Art School and were excited to find out that they have a branch here in Taiping. When my Hubby called up the art school, the teacher asked us to go to the art school today and let Tricia have a free trial session with her. Tricia was ecstatic.
So, off we went to the school today. We didn't have any idea how much the whole programme would cost but my Hubby and I decided that we check out the Art school first and then the Tadika. If costs are high then we have to drop one of the classes. So, in short she either enrolls the art school and I continue homeschooling her OR she goes to Tadika ( Kindergarten) and drop the Art school. Hmmmm.. which is which now? It would have been very hard to make a decision.
When we went to Da Vinci Center, we saw all the work done by the children and I was impressed. The teacher was very gentle and kind. Tricia immediately felt at home and didn't hesitate to be left alone with the Teacher to do her free trial lesson. The teacher already told us a lot about the program which really convinced me more to enroll her there. But she still didn't say anything about the price yet. So, we let her do her trial lesson for 45 minutes and came back. Tricia wasn't finished with her work yet when we came back and she first refused to leave the center :) So, I sat down with the teacher and continued to discuss with her the cost and schedule for the proram. I was expecting an expensive price for such a course but was astounded when she only qouted 60 RM per month. And she added that Taiping branch has one of the cheapest rate because building rental is quite cheap. Oh yeah! We're in Taiping, that's why. 60 RM is really worth the price considering one of our girl's passion is the Arts. And yes it's affordable! Yippe! Thank you, Lord!
Then our next stop was the Tadika. We already called up the principal earlier and she set an appointment for us to meet her at 12nn. Just right after our meeting with the Da Vinci teacher. We were not sure if Tricia will still have a place since it's the middle of the school year and we were not sure of the school fees too. We heard that aside from the monthly fee, they have a one time registration fee which was quite high. But as my Hubby said, there's no harm in trying to find out and we can decide later on.
So, we met the school principal and sat with her. We were quite surprised that she already knows a bit of our background and wanted Tricia to immediately start school next week. And wait, there's something more... she also mentioned that because of the nature of our work and we're working full time in the ministry, Tricia is going to school for FREE! And that includes her books and uniform! Wow! AMazing! Thank You, Lord! It's really God's favor upon us.
Until now, I'm still overwhelmed but such favor and grace from God. I'm just so excited for our little girl. Since we are still going to travel next week, she can only her classes at the end of May. Exciting! ":)
