Hi Mommies,
Been a long time since I came in here. Just reading some of the posts from the last 2 days.
Just my feedbacks on GUG and JG
the classes are pretty similar in term of the activities. GUG listed phonics but at this age, personally I dont feel it's as important. I didn't quite like that we had to go to another room for music at GUG, not sure if that's changed now. JG @ evans had outdoor area for outdoor play/waterplay/swimming/sandplay, GUG we did water play and they brought in 2 rectangle tub of water. Classes are weekdays only for both schools, if I don't remember wrongly. For JG english playnest is 2x a week and chinese is 3x a week. if you want to do the chinese playnest, it must be 3x, can't be 2x english 1x chinese. Fees are about the same.
It really dep on your bb. Some bb enjoy the class, you can see from their faces, some just sit there and grab anything they can and chew/drool, doesn't matter to them what is going on in the room, some just cries the whole class.
Also dep on luck which teachers you get. Some are very good, they can catch the bb's attention. Other just go about doing their job.
My main negative feedback for both places - class size.
Another place that we did a trial class was playdays.

Decent facility but I felt the class was not smooth. The teachers couldn't control the class, class was kind of disorganized. They were very new then so maybe they have improved since.
