sweet, sad to hear abt ur experience w BJG. i spoke to them last sat abt u wanting to attend crawler 2 trial but hv aredi attended crawler 1 trial b4, e person IC aso told me tha no pt attending crawler 2 trial if attended crawler 1 trial b4 & tha they hv a long waiting list for C2, so they wun allow u to go for C2 trial if u had gone for C1 trial. basically, e curriculum for e 2 quite similar just certain things r different, e.g. dot math card, C1 is fr 1-50 where C2 is 50 onwards & for C2, there wun be sensory training, instead they'll train bbs on pincer skill & e gym activities will be more advanced bah. when i asked them abt e teacher, e person aso told me which teacher u looking for, basically wat she told u she told me e same thing. well... as we were talking face-to-face, we were chit chatting in a joking manner, so i dun feel angry but if i were u, i dunno e person & talk over e phone, tink i wld be offended too. as for e schedule, it's really not out cos i aso dunno e timing for jake's nxt term, they can oni tell me +/- half hr. as for teacher's list, maybe aso not out yet bah cos jake's class is oni half-filled, then last sat's trial class, i saw it was another teacher teaching, which is right aft jake's class, maybe if not all fr tha trial class signed up, they might squeeze all into jake's class, which i seriously hope not as i enjoy e small class size. i tink their C2 maybe more popular than C1 cos maybe it's e time tha parents start to enrol their bbs for lesson, tha y they diao qi lai mai, then again, there's many more opts out there, so i'm sure tha u can find 1 tha is gd for trishelle. rgding e relief teacher, i agree w ur hb's friend, out of 10 lessons last term, 2 lessons were taken by a relief teacher, e same person. aft e 1st time, we aredi feedback to BJG tha e relief teacher can't make it, dunno y they got her for e 2nd relief lesson, when we saw her tha day, we nearly diao tou jiu zhou but thot maybe give another chance, aft 10mins or so, cfm can't make it, no pt waste time, i paid $37/lesson for a qualified teacher, not someone of such quality, so i came out to request to come back on sunday for make-up & e other parent aso did e same thing. hb & i said if we c her nxt time covering jake's class, we'll immediately request to go back on sunday. haha...
lin/sweet, e admin at gymboree tanglin mall branch aso got attitude prob, remember tha they gave caitlyn a hard time when she was helping us to arrange for e lvl 1 free trial but when i arrange for lvl 2 trial at e harborfront branch, e admin there was v.friendly. i tink if e schs hv lots of students queuing up for their class, they tend to diao qi lai mai bah whereas for those tha r newly setup or not as popular, tink their admin service will be better as they hope tha u sign up w them.
caitlyn, congrats on ur minnie & enjoy ur weekend getaway. isaiah so sweet, will rest on ur tummy when ask abt mei mei, will be a gd gor gor who dotes on mei mei.
