Hi,


Just to share what I am doing for my K1 this year.... This might sound KS for some of the parents who don't believe in enrichment but having 2 older kids in MBS (P3 and P2), I felt that this is necessary.

FYI, she currently attends Kinderland and this is on top of what she is doing in kinderland :
1) Intermediate Phonics
2) Lorna Whiston K1 creative english
3) Enopi Maths
4) Molin Chinese
5) Chinese speech & drama
6) Ballet (more for the fun of it as she started since last year)
7) Kawai music playstation

But so far she enjoys the lessons and she has not complain.

this is a really 'wow....' than mine. i believe mine is nothing. how can she cope with these activities? how is the schedule? sounds like pretty tight and she has no complain.

She only has LW and Chinese S&D on weekends. Meanwhile for the other classes, it takes place on weekdays (1 class per day and usually late afternoon or evening except for enopi which is right after kinderland) and my mum helps to bring her.


She has not complain so far but instead bugged my mum to bring her for class if she knows that she has class that day… I think most of the program that we choose so far are quite fun so she learns in a fun way.

sounds like she is not attending childcare centre? if you dont mind me asking, how much are you 'investing' on the enrichment programme for your child?


does she need to do schoolwork after each programme? do you give her homework to do? :lol: sori... hv i asked too many ??? :oops:

glad that she is enjoying them ...

It's ok.... this forum is for parents to share.


The only homework she has is for enopi and Molin chinese (which my mum got the teacher to give her some practise to do). She is more committed to do the homework if she knows that it's coming from the teacher. Other that that, we are just expected to read with her and revise what she has learnt. This is the part that we are trying to keep up given that she is not the only child

For her, I think we are spending around $700 per month excluding her kinderland fees.

mmm… wow, you are really a good mummy. to spend ts much is really no joke especially this is not your only child.


i feel that the enrichment course is not just spending $$$ but time. like driving them to course, waiting time, revision time… actually time is also another factor. after they have finished the course, do we spend time is also a raise of concern. i realised that my dd doesnt like to go through the revision with me. she shared that she enjoyed the course and she can cope with that and FULL-STOP.

anyone can share how you revised with your child after their enrichment course?

Diff people view things differently. Maybe some parents will classify me as \"Kiasu Mummy from hell\" that tortures them :lol:

Yes, it's true that there is no point sending kids for classes and you don't revise. It will not be effective that way.

I like programs that has deliverables. Eg. LW requires us to read with the child the books they bring home. If we don't, the child cannot catch up and read by herself in class. Due to this, we are \"forced\" to do it with them.

Due to time constraint, I would usually revise her previous week work with her before she goes for class.

I feel that with kids in primary school, revision for enrichment classes become a challenge with the numerous activities that are going on.

My kid is doing fine without much revision (since preschool) after the enrichment classes. The only subject that needs DAILY revision and practise is math. Even a 6YO kid can say her math is weak so go figure.

I have went to the briefing this morning and happy to know that their chinese flagship programme (chinese culture) is pretty interesting. Surprise to know that this yr onwards story telling constitute 5%..emm interesting..

vlim, you mean that the children have to do storytelling? are they given pictures to talk about it? or given topic?

btw how many english and chinese spelling are given in P1?
