No matter how much Larissa coaxed him, Aster refused to go back to Aldovia without her.
After a lengthy discussion with Wendy, they finally decided to let him stay in Caldor.
Wendy immediately sent in a withdrawal notice to Aster's school. On the other hand, applying to enter kindergarten in Caldor was more complicated for Larissa.
Education resources in Bartham had always been scarce. Spots in the public kindergartens were limited, with strict resident registration requirements.
Although Larissa had obtained her green card in Aldovia, she had not migrated there, so her documents were still in Bartham.
However, Aster was born in Aldovia. Naturally, he was eligible to obtain citizenship. Thus, he had no chance of getting into public kindergarten as an Aldovian citizen.
Larissa could only turn her sights on private kindergartens nearby, especially those with international curriculum so that it would be easier for Aster to adapt.
In her break time, Larissa visited several kindergartens. Despite the exorbitant annual fees, she finally decided on a kindergarten that was said to be attended by children of celebrities and conglomerate families.
Aster was filled with anticipation as he looked forward to returning to kindergarten after such a long time.
He was so excited the night before his enrollment that he couldn't fall asleep until midnight.
The kindergarten was about half an hour from the hotel.
Larissa had to rush to work, so she woke up early and took him there so that she could personally hand him over to the teacher.
They were the first to arrive, twenty minutes before the kindergarten's normal opening time.
The kindergarten teachers were very friendly.
As Aster was an outgoing child, he easily became acquainted with everyone.
When Larissa saw that Aster was settling in comfortably, she left with peace of mind.
Kindergarten usually ended at 4 pm, but students could stay until 7 pm. This rule was specifically set to accommodate busy parents who didn't have time to pick their children up during working hours.
Despite that, Larissa was still late for pickup time.
