fushiastar,
For JG, depending on which session you are choosing. I understand from the teachers that the first class (9am or 9.30am) is pretty packed already. Maybe for that class, teh waiting list is long. Mine 4.30pm, is pretty ok. 12-13 kid the max. with regular 3 teachers. He is in Mandarin class so the fee is less than $800. I can't recall the exact amount.
I was considering Kindermusik too, but I don't like the idea that we got to purchase their CD or books.
My son attends GUG since 13th mth and drop out somewhere 17th mth. Cos he gets real bored of the songs. JG has more creative and interesting handicraft. My son knows most of the zoophonics fr GUG. I will sign with him occasionally and surprised that he still can rmb. He loves the "J" cos he gets to do the silly movement.
4.30pm - Upon entering the class, teachers will greet child, bring them to a table where there are full of children's photo+ mandarin character name. Children will need to find their photo and stick onto a name board. Children to ask to pronounce their name. Then it is free play for 15min-20mins. Teachers mingle and speak to them.
After the free play- Sing and intro every child who attend the class.
After singing - Handicraft. Some will get to practise their pronouncation while the rest are doing their handicraft.
After handicraft - Sing song
After the 2nd sing song - Wash Hands
After washing of hands - Snack time
After snack time - Children get to free play outside the class. (Depending on week, sometimes, water play, swimming, sand play)
After play - Watching drama act teachers
Hope I didn't miss out anything.
