hi jkcy

Hi Corrochan. Thanks for your reply. Let me elaborate further.


This playgroup is different from other commercial enrichment programmes in 3 major ways:

1) Parental involvement
I have some enquiries from some parents who are under the impression that they are expected to contribute by preparing some activities for the group. This is not the case. Preparation for a structured programme requires passion and time. This playgroup is reaching out to parents who may not have time or do not want/know how to prepare something. I will be doing all the the research and preparation along pre-determined themes to save parents from having to spend time on this.

Instead, what I require from parents is your enthusiasm and participation in the activities, not just sitting in during the session waiting for time to pass. This will be different from some commercial playgroups I know which require only adult accompaniment and where the adults may range from parents, grandparents to even maids.

Cultivating friendship
I intend to create an environment and opportunities for parents and children to interact among yourselves. While it is true that parents tend to be too caught up attending to their own kids, this is NOT just another playgroup where you only attend for the sake of your child and don't have to bother with other people around you.

I will be encouraging parents to take an active interest in the other kids in the same group as well. Once we cultivate the \"culture\" of looking out for one another, you will find yourselves easing up to enjoy the playgroup and socializing with other parents and children.

Developing an inquisitive mind
This playgroup will cover a wide range of topics instead of the usual fare like teaching alphabets, numbers etc.. The theme changes every week so that the kids can be exposed to different interests. Depending on the theme, the activities will also vary from stories to songs, games, dramatisation etc and the children will bring home a piece of art/craft after each session.

Also, like to highlight that in support of the good work of I Love Children (http://www.ilovechildren.org.sg), I plan to rent their premises as the venue to conduct my playgroup .

I encourage you to come for a trial which will be held around end Mar. It costs only $15 per parent-child pair which can be offset if you sign up after the session.

Please register your interest through [email protected] with your child's name and age, your own name and contact details. Or if you have further queries, please PM me with your contact number so that I can answer all your questions.
