Oga double hustle money make them start this new session. Just as fingers are not equal we equally have schools in that category. My advise is for you to fit them into the school in line with your pocket and follow up the rest at home to close loop holes you observed on schools. Don't deprive them all in the name of your pocket. God will help you.

DO NOT bring children into the world if you know you cannot give them a decent life, a good education, if you know you will not have enough love and willingness to take care of them properly, a child should not come to this world to go hungry and suffering. Children should not come to the world to pay for their parents' misery. Be responsible and don't just think of yourself.

1. Home school them
2. Get a private teacher to take them in which you can pay and or less than 20k per month
3. Look around you for a well to do person and ask him/ her for financial or scholarship help.
Wishing you all the very best

Ok. If you intend homeschooling them, who will be responsible for that?

In the state you are resident in, don't their public primary schools have nursery section?

Put them in a public school near you and work your schedule on how to drop and pick them.3yrs is the starting age for most nursery public schools.
If you were in Anambra or Amaechi's remodeled public schools in Rivers,it'd be good.Their public schools are children friendly and have considerable edge above many private schools.Educational facilities,playground,sports faolities,character moulding etc

Stop whining about your baby mama everytime,if she was dead would you ressurect her to come and cater for them?
Man up! So many men are raising their children alone same as women.

I have a limited free time due to the nature of my job but I will try to teach them anytime I am available mostly on Sundays. Public school is not an option because is far away from home and my mother is not strong enough to drop and pick them that far

Thanks for the suggestion I am in enugu, I am not winning about her because from my post I didn't included her. I have included her because someone have asked about my daughter who was staying with her. they are my children I am not tired of them and I will never abandon them. I have faith everything will be fine for us very soon.

Fact is that based on your present situation,your children will not achieve much from homeschooling because you don't even have the resources to effectively homeschool them and your kids having to wait till Sundays which is not even sure to be taught is very inimical to their development.

Home schooling is not a walk in the park, you need have the time daily (as if they go to school weekdays), you need to draw up lesson plans that should capture what is age appropriate to learn, fun activities to enhance their fine motor skills etc

No matter the discord between you and the mother of your children, you have to get her involved because you both are their parents aa I perceive that there are some developmental milestones your children are already missing and it is not for their good.

Alright goodluck to you.Sha find a way to keep them busy.You can get ABC,Phonics,numbers CD plates for them to watch and master some things before you are ready.Imagine every expense x3.chai!

Childrearing is very costly no matter your class.Children don't know"I don't have money".You must give them food.

What is a toddler (2-year old) doing at School? You can read to them (e.g. books, ABCs, etc) or engage them in fun, educational activities where they're just listening. Other than that, a 2-year old should enjoy being a 2-year old. They only get to be babies once; let them live.

No, I'm not.

You are right ma but that's the norm in nigeria that children as young as 2 should go to school and most of my children aged mate are already in nursery 3. Thanks for the suggestion

Never underestimate the power of homeschooling your kids. undecided

For kids that age, you can easily find online a curriculum of what you can help teach them at home in order to prepare them to join their peers when you eventually get them to school. undecided
