hi hoho03,
oh JW? yes that school is very hot. But rather pricey..hubby object it so we chose zoophonics instead.
Yes zoophonics sell the set to students only. They do not sell to public. For students, it will cost SGD95.00 per set includes the animals cards, CD etc.

zoophonics only allow trial on weekdays and for 2hrs!!
faint.. not sure my ger can tahan or not..
i know gug is using zoophonics as their materials... BUT their charges super ex.
YA, i oso want 2know if the bp set same as ZP (zoophonics).

maybe their programme is different. last time i signed my boy up for BJG. it is also 1 hr...good enough for him..
huh? i went for trial during weekends..maybe that thomson branch..how come trial can be for 2 hours?
yes the lady at thomson branch told me they "franchise" the zoophonics materials to GUG. ha..maybe GUG more branded? ang moh style so more ex?
if the BP set is the same as zoophonics, then i will get from BP...much cheaper right?

Hi Joleena,
really! trial is fm 9am-11am,wondering my ger can wake up bo.
then if signing up, would be on sunday 12-1.. actually bad timing,thinking how 2 settle her lunch,before or after class.
i sent my ger to kindermusik, very gd, but diff. fm ZP,GUG or JG...so cannot compare.
I thought, worry mum, mention tt this bp, gt no CD. so think its like flash cards only..

hi kit,
my ger is now going to 18mths liao. she had attended kidermusik for 3 diff. themes/term
kindermusik is more to music and movements.
8wks per term. different theme each term.
the teacher will teach some movements, carrying ur kid, to dance with the song.
then she will also let the kids handle different instruments and play together with the song.
my ger and i enjoyed very much.
what i like about KM is because althou we need to pay for the materials, i find it is worth it!for village class (6mths-18mths),the materials include a cd, a book and poster.
The song cd is gd! i play to my ger everynite.
go to their website and surf for more, www.kindermusik.com.sg
u can book a trial before signing for the whole term.

Joleena, hoho03,
Any idea how much GUG cost? Could it be due to the longer hrs, so more ex?
Any idea whether there is makeup class for Zoophonics if the child is sick?

hi maple,
no wonder u cannot get a trial slot.. heehee
cos weekends all full!
That lady told me sunday 12-1 time slot is a new class, so they called me, cos i wait list at all branches for afternoon time slot.
She did mention that weekends trial is 1hr and more ex, think $25. but weekdays, 2hrs and cheaper $18.75.
Yup, will let u mums know after my tmr trial. think no matter what is the experience, i will still sign for a month cause 1 day, cannot judge my ger like or not lei..

hi hoho03,
wow your trial so good for 2 hours. mine only for 1 hr.
u going to continue with kindermusik? heard itz good but more inclined towards music skills right?
hi maple
oh when are you attending the trial? same here i am also going thomson branch. initially my boy quite shy but after a while, he gets into the mood. even the teacher observe that.
would say the teacher ok lar.
when my son was in BJG, the moment he sees the teacher, he smiles. but he din do it this time. maybe grow older?
i recall for GUG it costs $280 for a 8 week term. that is for once a week lesson.
i have checked on the replacement class. yes there will be a replacement class if the child is sick. but if public holiday falls on that day, no replacement.
her explanation is that sometimes in a month, there are 5 lessons etc
Hi CC2
how are you? waiting for your attachement file for the zoophonics materials.
might want to order.
Last weekend i just went to the trial lesson. Haha maybe you have seen me. I am planning to sign for sat zoo toddlers class from 5pm - 6pm
Same?

hi joleena,
u pm me? can pm me and i reply u? thanks.
My gal is at the 11-12pm slot in thomson. No kids went for trial during my class leh.
I like the instructor as compared to the teachers in GUG. During her 1st lessons she was playing with the books on the shelves.. but the instructor was aware of it and will try to attract her attetion. Whereas in GUG, they bo chap her and I was running after her in the 1.5hrs.
Now she's used to the routine and will sit down quietly when the instructor is doing the zoo phonics and can signal almost all 26 alphabets though she's oni there for less than 2 mths.
heard the 11-12pm slot got long waiting list cos was enquiring for a fren.

Hi CC2,
Okie will PM you on the zoophonics materials again.
Oh no wonder. we are in the trial lesson on sat from 5 - 6pm. cos all the sunday classes are full.
Who is the instructor? Is it the same lady?
Oh so the class is not bad afterall hee...
sunday class i heard really long waiting list.
thanks for your feedback.
I think GUG admin staff rather rude. When I called for trial, no one picked up and when they reply me, they seems impatient

If pay for 3 mths, then got $25 discount and if pay by POSB credit card got 10% rebate and if that mth got 5 weeks even better... each lesson is less than $20! hahaha....

Hi Joleena,
Trial me still on waiting list for the trial, so dunno yet, but likely to be on 10/9. The lady told me they are likely to open a new trial class on 10/9, will inform me once confirmed. Depending on the response, they will be opening a new class on Sun 12-1 pm. Btw, do u have to wait long for your trial?
Thanks for your info on replacement class.
When are u signing up / starting? I was told that the Sat 5-6 pm class is full. Youve got a place allocated to you already?
hoho03,
No choice, weekday cant make it cos me FTWM, so can only go weekend.
I called ZP just now regarding the weekday trial and was told that weekday trial also 1 hr, also $25. Haiz why so inconsistent one??? (I called the Thomson br, not the JW br.)

Hey gals, i'm intending to let my gal try the trial too. Heard many good comments on them.
I wrote a mail to them jus few days ago. The thomson branch replied me. As far as i know, you can start your own trial class with friends if you can find 5 toddlers or more. Each toddler got to be at least 17months. Too bad my gal is only 16mths, so i can only start next month.
The lady i spoke to was Alice from Thomson. She told me the one at Bt Timah is a very hot place. Ask me if i want to form a trial class got to tell them before hand.
CC2,
Does that means you got the disc as well?

hi mummies,
i am back fm my trial.. not bad, just like childcare center..
the students in the class are 2+yrs and they attend 2x weekly.
the 1st hr is mandarian, not bad, my ger manage to sit and listen to the story telling. then they do some craft using glue to paste onto the paper. my ger ran off.. faint! so i do for her..
the teacher is gd able to catch my ger attention back.
the 2nd hr is english, my ger din really sit dwn cos she saw the puzzles and wonder off.. faint! We sing the A-Z phonics song. but the teacher din specify a letter of the wk, not sure why.
then she give out a letter each to the kids to let them match with the ones on the wall. my ger like this cos can ran around. then we did short coloring and painting craft. again, i do the job.
during storytelling time, she din catch my ger's attention when she ran off. she told me she is curious of the place. hmm let me review this after the 1mth trial.
Overall, experience is gd! cos partly we never attended anything like this bef.
BUT i find my ger still too young to strt the carfts activites.. hmm will c how it goes.
OH according to the in-charge, the weekend class only in english, but if there is demand from a few mummies, then they will try to open the mandarian class.
not bad, they seem to be quite flexible.
i am wondering, since so many mums are interested, can we form a suitable time slot ourselves.
12-1 is really not a very gd timing.
i m trying out on sunday to c how it goes.
