Thank you ladies, appreciate the response and feedback! My daughter is on the waiting list for Gems Wellington which of course was our first choice. She has been offered a place in Gems First Point but we have been told she will need to start FS1 (Turns 4 in August) as she missed 4 months of Day care in Canada at the start of the year. I was on maternity leave in Canada at the time and decided to keep her home to spend more time with her and the little one. Is this normal? I have never heard any such reasoning here as Day care is really...just day care. We have a week to respond and confirm to pay the registration fees. Does anyone have any feedback on Gems First point? It was not rated at the top but we believe it might be because it is new, any feedback on this would be much appreciated. Our move is going to be cutting it very close to school dates which is why I am thinking we get in touch with a realtor or an agency now to line things up when we get there in August. I understand inventory changes every week even day but thinking we do whatever advance homework we can. Can anyone suggest a good realtor or agency? How does the process work? I am really not sure what else we need to plan for or consider. The only other thing on my mind is if we buy furniture there or should we bring it with us? We're currently in an apartment downtown Toronto and thinking if we should buy before we come as it will be much more expensive in Dubai? Since relocation is covered, I am thinking this will be a better idea? Thank you again for your feedback and look forward to learning more.
