Hi mummies,
JJ is currently in I can read at his 2nd level. At first when he went to I can read even though he has been attending his nursery at Kinderland, he still cry when he goes into the class but I will assure him that I will be at the entrance waiting for him when he finishes his lesson. Gradually he got used to it and accepted.
Then recently I have changed him from friday class to thursday class, he is fine with it.
So mummies dont worried as it is just a phrase of life that they have to face.
But I can say that I might be those heartless mummy that when I see my son cried I will give in.

Grace,
Oh really. That time the teacher in I can read said just let him cry and after a while they will sure to stop and he put him at one corner and really gradually he stopped. Maybe u assure ur kid that u will wait outside for them. Then the first few times just stand outside for the 1 and half hr as they may request to go toilet but actually to see whether are u there.
Hope this will helps.

ling,
the teacher said the same too..probably bcos she dun understand well, my hb prefer speak mandrian at home, my ds chinese is very powerful,guess better than some adults, kekeke, just a matter of time to pick up English,actually I have been staying outside the classroom ,but within 5 min , they called me for help.anyway my is ds more dependant right now, so shouldnt b a problem for next yr.
lynzi,
my ds was in playgroup for 2 months when she is 2, cos my son was only 7month, not easy take of both of them 24hrs, thought wld b relife for me,she start speaking & walking at 10 months old,memorize a lot of poems and rythms at 18months, by 2 she can ride bycicle well(with training wheels) then we stop sending her there ..
reasons being a few:
1.she can speak well but cant express feeling and manage emotional issues well yet
2.teacher to student ratio sounds perfect 2:6-8, my ds is the yougest, teacher very busy too take care of their basic needs, eg peepee, some got runny nose,etc.
3.handcraft: I prefer the children do on their own,no need to b perfect, fact is 95% was done by the teacher.
4.hygiene: saw the teacher wiping hands for all children with one wet towel,told them use my own wet tissue but they tend to forget.
5. pick up bad habbit (eg.language)from other classmates--not the good ones!
6.music volume is extremly loud
7.early writing: kids should learn writing after 5yrs old due to immature development of bone structure
blah blah blah
maybe I am a fussy mum
so..after all, once my mum is here, ds is back to hm again

Morning mummies.
hi lynzi
May i know what is the reason that you want to send faiq to playgroup? If you want him to learn to socialise, forget it. If to kill time? I think can do at home. Majority of the time the teachers are busy taking care of the kids. And yes, they tend to blast the speakers. And most importantly, they DO NOT bother hygiene.
think about it. I put my girl through for 2 weeks and it is enough for me.

Lynzi: Actually different mummies have their own opinion on the way of bringing up their kids. For me, I think 2yrs old is all right to send to those playgroup. The program will take about 1.5hrs - 2hrs class mostly for motor skills. I used to send my gal at My Gym at Civic Centre when she is 2yrs old. A lot of fun and games for their age, singing etc.. Not a bad experience for her too..
lynzi, the pilgrimage is the haj thingy? my neighbours also went...
wesim, if i didn't remember wrongly, ur gal went to little friends right?
lynzi, if i didn't rem wrongly, wendy's gal and my gal went to the same playgrp.. my gal was there for 1 yr (since 20months or so). she pick up more of language (before that she only know a few words) and she also learn to sit down pay attn etc... which i think helps when we transit her to full day cc when she was there alone after 1st day

yep, she went to Little Friends. The teachers so-so only. Anyway, it really boils down to the mummy. Like Grace, we can be particular about certain things (fussy?). As for motor skills, art&craft, sitting down & paying attention etc, i believe they can also learn from home.
If you are talking about getting ready for full-day cc, maybe it helps.
Hi bloom
Don't remember you leh. Anyway it was such a short period of time.

forget to add. Grace is a SAHM (correct me if i am wrong) and i work from home most of the time. So, perhaps this is why we find playgroup is really not necessary. But if your kid is taken care by somebody (MIL or nanny), then maybe you would like to consider sending your kids to playgroup to pick up something.

there is one teacher who is always there and i believe she is also the one taking care of the ctr. I can't remember her name liao. I think she is the only one who conducts the enrichment classes. Little Friends has a few holiday and enrichment program. Can't commend on those though.
Hi mummies, thanks for your well wishes, I’m back (though still coughing)
Last week, I was so weak that last min called-in a massager from JB (recommended by my friend) to come to my place for a full 2hr body massage for myself and my MIL (she has been taking care of my kiddos since I sent away my maid 2mths ago).
Bee, u looking for abacus course? I can recommend you one tutor, my boy juz completed. She stays at blk 5++, but she can come to your place if you can form a group of say 4/5 kids. I can pm you her contact if u r interested.
