      Kindermusik not bad, can consider.

      Kids love music and playing the instrument.

      Thanks superdaddy

      My enrichment for my kid experience will be starting soon. Plan to visit all the schools before deciding what to enrol.

        Mind telling me how much your paid to join Shichida ?


        I have email all the 4 schools providing right brain training. Only Little Genius have replied me. They have only one branch at Kitchener road, a bit far from my home.

        I would probably be going down to the different schools soon. DW actually didnt want to start DD on enrichment so soon so I had to show her all the youtube videos on right brain training and tell her this school need to queue up to join.


        hey. i went for the 10min video thingie. and they oso ecplain the fee to me.
        now for weekday class got promo. only $545 per term. which is 3months.
        den you first got to pay $300 deposit to \"book\" a place. *will get the deposit back only if you give 1month written letter for withdrawal*
        $50 is non-refundable reg fee.
        comp for 1parent to go for their 1time class. $195 for 1oarent
        if both wanna go i think is $350. forget the price for 2liao cause i know hubby wont wanna go with me.. -,-\"

        Wow ! Sound so expensive and it seems they really got too much business. I wrote them email 2 times, no reply. Little Genius respond to me almost immediately the next day. I think I give little genius a chance first.

        It seems understandable if they charge 2 parents but 1 parent also they charge??!! I mean how can a 1 yr old attend class alone? 😐

            I was being offered the same rate too. Juz to add that the amt that u hv paid for the parent course can be used to offset for the term fee provided u hv completed 1 full yr.

              Just to update, I have called and email most of the places and it seems I would go visit I genius and Shichida very soon.


              I started a thread on this and got this reply from atfc


              """""

              Hi, you can try out this preschool called stamford little geniuses in bugis. they are giving out free for the 1st month for new-comers.

              my girl is studying there right now and its not bad. their teachers are very nice and caring. since its free, might as well try it out and see whether its suitable for your kid """"


              I called this stamford place and they only offer program for 2 years and above. The lady who spoke to me were very nice though and say will inform me when got toddler program.

                This week I visited all the 3 places - I genius , Shichida and Little Neuro Tree. I am most disappointed with the Shichida school. Actually I am most impress by their results that I saw on you tube.


                My heart wanted to join them but they do little to reassure me or to answer my queries. It seems they really business too good or maybe they feel they are very branded. All they did was let me watch a 10 min video then ask me if I had any questions. They did not show me their material nor classroom.

                The lady at I Genius was most professional, patience and nice. She explain quite a bit and brought me look around their classrooms. However their focus is more on concentration. They are quite different from Shichida. I genius offering free 1 trial lesson for those with OCBC baby bonus card or credit card.

                Little Neuro tree is more similar to Shichida. However its a franchise so I probably can say that its the same for all the branches but the one I visited is most impressive. The person in charge was most friendly, showed me their classroom, their materials and even had a teacher explain what will happen in their lessons.

                Payment actually all about the same. I genius is most expensive but their fee included teaching materials. Shichida weekdays are much cheaper but they will make you attend a parents workshop which is $200 and also you have to do a deposit of $300. If you want to get back the deposit, you must do so in writing. Little Neuro tree is cheapest but there is no material. You got to get your own.

                Actually they are all quite ex. The difference is not very significant.

                I will most likely go with Little Neuro Tree.

                  hey, just to let you know. the $545 is for this year weekday class only.
                  den if you already made payment to them for next yr slot. and if the term fee goes back to $700++ or the increase you will have to go with it lei!! this is wad my friend tell me. so i think i wait till next year den put him in waiting list. so at the mean time maybe i go try LNT and iGenius.
                  if i were to sign up it will be weekday class!
