Mulberry Bush Goes To Doha Zoo

On February 15, a Thursday, Mulberry Bush Nursery had its yearly visit to Doha Zoo. There were 55 children in all, ages ranging from 1 1/2 to 4 years. I and a few mothers and nannies had the privilege to go with the children on this special trip. Although joining them didn't mean that I was merely my daughter's guardian and photographer. I was also there to assist the staff of the nursery in making sure that everything was in order. All the other guardians who were there also helped achieve that.

I arrived at the nursery with my daughter really early. At around 7am the staff started organizing the kids in every class. Each child was given a name sticker, with a telephone number to contact just in case one of them gets lost during the trip. Soon enough parents started dropping off their children. A lot of them were asking for the administrator's cell number which she refused to give. Her point is that parents might make calls every minute just to check on their children if she gives in to their request. She just gave the assurance if anything happens, she will be the one to call the parents. Of course as parent I understand the parents' concerns, I guess it gives us some sense of security knowing what number to contact. The administrator's promise was already reassuring enough for almost all of the parents, except for one dad, whose persistence paid off. I'm just glad that all these worries were put to rest since the trip to the zoo proved to be very successful.

The children had a great time seeing a lot of animals. For some who have been with Mulberry Bush since last year , this wasn't their first time to visit Doha Zoo. This was Xianelle's 2nd time at the zoo, the 1st time was the visit that we made last year. It was fun to see kids seeing the animals in the flesh.

It sure wasn't easy to bring the whole nursery in such a big place. But kudos to the teachers and assistants for a job well-done and a successful trip to the zoo this year.
