    • Kindy Emergency Procedures

      How many of you parents check with the kindy management about Emergency Procedures? If you didn’t, please do. It can save lives if they have emergency procedures.

      I heard from a kindy principal that a child just fainted because of breathlessness in the school. Worst, it happens on the first day of school. She called the ambulance but the ambulance called back a few times to ask for direction. Immediately she drove the child to a nearby clinic. Thank goodness, the doctor was able to help her and monitor her. The doctor said, it could be due to allergic reaction but advise the parents to do a full checkup for her. Amazingly the child walked into school normal the next day.

      Imagine if the principal didn’t act quickly, death may occur. I remembered when Emily had febrile fit in her kindy, the first thing the principal did was to send her to the nearby hospital. Although she was frightened by what she saw, she made the correct decision.

      Therefore my advice to you parent, if you are sending your kids to nursery or kindy, be sure you ask about their emergency procedures. Does the management know the nearest hospital? Does the management know the nearest clinic? Does anyone in the school know CPR? Some teachers are trained to tell whether a child is pale, difficulty in breathing and can sense the child is not well.

      On another note, Tim and Emily did very well in school and I am so proud of them. Emily was complimented by the teacher that she was very cheerful in class. By the way, her principal told me that one of her friend wanted to change class but when she heard Emily was in her class, the girl changed her mind. Emily saves the day!

      As for Tim, he was on his own on the second day of school. We dropped him in the canteen and left. He managed to get around, go to class and eat in the canteen during recess. Somehow he also able to understand the teacher although she spoke in Bahasa Malaysia. The best thing is he remembers his homework which he didn’t bother last year. I am so happy that I received news that he is going to have a whole week off for CNY!

    1. If I’m not mistaken, the first aid training is included for certified kindy teachers, but then, not all kindy are strict about the papers because it’s not easy to hire teachers. *speaking from experience* 😛

    2. Well done, Tim & Emily!

    3. You must be really proud of your 2 kids! I’d be proud too. You’re also like me when it comes to preparing lunch boxes… there will surely be some cut fruits inside.

    4. Health Freak: Fruits are good for him as it is rich in Vitamin and fiber.

    5. I did to ask wor coz a clinic is just 1 minute walk away. 🙂

    6. Yes and the emergency procedure should be in black and white too!

    7. Wow, so far I didn’t know about the emergency procedure..but, when Jona got allergic reaction, the teacher immediately call me to bring him to see dr…Proud of your kids esp Tim: so brave. I do hope Jona will be like Tim when he entered primary 1.

    8. i think the teacher or principal shd have brought the kid to the hospital instead of calling ambulance,etc. i tell ambulance is forever slow and it will only go to their own hosp which i think its stupid. what if its emergency? so gotta travel real far if their hosp is 30 min away with a nearby hosp which is 5 min away?

    9. Wow you’re right, I never thought about that!
      And a super-duper well done to Tim and Emily 🙂

    10. Bravo Tim, he’s so independent. My cousin cries everytime his mom dropped him off at school for one whole week!

    11. I’ll remember that. Better ask the school next time I’m there.
