Hi mummies, I am considering putting my boy in childcare too, prob around Mar 2012? I have visited a few and I do think they can learn more there versus at home (unless caregiver is disciplined to constantly teach and simulate them). Since half day and full day childcare may not differ much in pricing (some only by < $50) after govt subsi for working mums, 1 option is to opt for full day which gives the flexibility to us/our parents/PIL to bring them home warlier whenever it suits [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Vernie: hmmm... yup my main purpose is for my child to socialize and learn more things, even if it is a playgroup for 2 hrs daily I think is good exposure. I wont have to trouble my parents, they fetch bb to and fro my place everyday, morn time my dad still drives me to work after leaving bb w my mom. My cousin who attended IFC since young is able to write his own name, do maths, read and speak well at 4.. but my 6-yr old BIL who only started nursery at 4 till now cant read or speak a proper sentence.. can see a difference but perhaps the parents also gotta do a part..
practically, our baby interact with us(adult) is very different from our baby interact with other babies... and is very fasincating to see what our baby have "learn" something new from other babies... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Further more, baby with baby they learn real talking faster than we teaches them... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] that's the reason why i wanna to place my boy to CC at 18months... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Yes.. that is why i insist to put JL in IFC now..
They teach them basic like bye bye, clap hands, answering the phone, and recently then I noe he love this song (I still dont get the tone right.. :x) " All the fishes swimming swimming! ", what splash??
Then he will do the sign like how fishes swim.. so adorable! each time teacher sing, he will do that follow with many claps!!!

So cute to see them see n dance with action.
maybe u can ask the teacher what did they learn.
I went to my kids' cc open house, so i tell the teacher that my ger sing a song, but i could catch what she singing, so she actually tpye out the lyric and give to the parents. then i know what is she singing.but this only apply to chinese song, when singing eng, she got no problem. maybe at hm, we on the eng song dvd for her. but for sure, if she never attend the cc, even we teach them sing, all we do is singing w/o action.

"All the fishes swimming in the water, swimming in the water, swimming in the water.
All the fishes swimming in the water, bubbles bubbles splash"

hi mrslong,
re: Anyone heard of Growing Up Gifted? Am thinking of checking it out. Another one is Julia Gabriel which my friend reviewed that its not bad.
My elder boy attended both JG and GUG when he was young. He likes JG and didn't like GUG
so I wasted quite a few lessons.
Personally I also like JG more than GUG. JG environment more fun and "loving" if I may say so. I find GUG more academic. But then could be a bit difficult to compare as he went to GUG when slightly older thus the lesson is more geared to letter/phonic recognition. I've heard good review on GUG phonics system.
JG for their age – free play, welcome, music time, story, craft, snack time, outdoor play, goodbye.
GUG >18mth - slightly similar but don't remember have story and outdoor play but alternate lesson got music/movement in the music room.
Think you can go for trial classes at both places. There are other similiar concept playgroups around that you can explore.

Hi mummies,
Yesterday I brought Kayden to go collect the carrier from Irene at raffles city then I went back to my in-law place. I press the door bell, no one answer the door. My in-law went for body checkup but the maid should be at home mah. I called my MIL to see if they brought the maid along. She say no and ask me to wait awhile longer. Maybe the maid is bathing. So I waited for 10mins and press the bell again. No one answered. I went downstairs and I saw her at the other block talking to another maid. When she saw me, she very surprised.
She quickly ran over and told me she talking to her friend. She went out on her own without permission from my MIL. Then she told me she wan day off. One month once. I told her it is not up to me to decide, have to speak to my MIL.
When my MIL return, my MIL told her since this is the first time she get caught, she will let it go. The maid rebuke that if my MIL would give her day off then she would not have go out sneakily. What kind of answer is this? My MIL told her she did wrong and yet still dare to ask for day off.
See how argumentative my maid is? Refuse to admit her mistake. Luckily I insist on taking off to take care of Kayden yesterday. Cannot imagine her bringing my son out with her on her own. Sian!
