kissbb,
after going to both, I prefer aquaducks. I like the way the instructor there dunk the babies, the environment is more spacious, toilet more compartments. Marsden is great in terms of props but I think I like aquaducks better.

SM called me last week... I reserved 2 timeslots for Joelle liao... 9am and 1:30pm at hdb hub. Its the closest timing to Samuel's 10:45am. So prob will be a back to back session for them next term. I also registered Joelle for the JG playclub liao... will start when she is 18m... maybe she even will get to be in the same class with Samuel cos they are will be in the same playclub category when she starts. Samuel had learnt to do painting (he hates to touch the paint previously), help keeps the toy, drink from cup, talk to the teachers there, sing lots of nursery ryhmes there.. really fun.
At least with back to back session, I can accompany both child to their class. Its been quite fun going to these classes with Samuel these days...he had started to really warm up and even queue up to hug and hi-five the teachers one by one before going home... He never used to hug people. I think this is good for him socially... at least hopefully it means he had better social and self confidence. He really love to sing... these few days he even started singing the sayonara song from shichida liao... my mum is so amazed at her grandson singing japanese song.
I personally like JG alot thus will let them continue for as long as they like.
its quite strenuous on the pocket to send 2 kids to these 2 classes though... but I think its worth it to see them having so much fun.
