Once the class started, she sent her to the teacher there. Crying was inevitable, just like kindergarten kids, but she'd get used to it slowly.
The school here provides meals for the children. For infants who are nursing, their mothers typically come to feed them once every two hours. For those who can eat solid food, they're given some rice paste. Each month, there's a three yuan fee for meals and childcare.

For infants, it's three yuan, and they don't need to bring food as they eat at the school. The money mentioned here is after converting to a second set of RMB; if it's the first set, you'd add at least three more zeros at the end.
