qqmum,
My girl attended the MMI at Lakeside. She also went through the pink, blue and green series, all within 11 months ! This is an express course. They take in kids 3 years 6 months and above. Although they say that the child doesn't have to know anything about phonics before starting the course, I feel that it is best that the child know all the letter sounds very well first, otherwise he cannot follow up. The teachers also teach the parents how to practice with the child at home.
I think the other MMI course which takes 1 year to finish one series, give more time for the child to practice in class.
They teach through worksheets, my girl did a few pages of worksheets during every 1 hour class, which is entirely sit down and learning. No singing and dancing since this is not a toddler class.
