Education of Child

My daughter entered elementary school at this April. Now she is in the long summer vacation. However, on weekdays, both I and my wife work, so we can't take care of her. We leave her in the care of "gakudo". "Gakudo" is like a less formal school. Many children in the same situation study and play togather there. When I was a kid, my grandmom took care of me. I don't know about "Gakudo" well, but it's sounds fun. I envy my daughter a little.

Thank you for your comment. Actually, "gakudo" is not aperson. It's after-school activity. Places to go after school, even if not during summer vacation.

This sounds more natural in the US.

My daughter entered elementary school at this April.


MThis April, my daughter entered elementary school at this April. This April, my daughter entered elementary school.

There's nothing wrong with putting "this April" at the end, but I think it sounds better if it starts the sentence.

or, even better: On weekdays, however, my wife and I both work, so we can't look after her.
