Mummy Hokkienmee: Greetings to all :-)

[hokkienmee]

Thanks for your welcome.


Yes, I think swimming is a good idea since my baby loves taking bath. :-)She is normally very happy during bath time.

I am thinking of either Kindermusik or Seimpi MiM programme, not sure which one is more fun?

You're welcome, hokkienmee. Hmm...if you're looking at the fun element, I wld think Kindermusik fits the bill, esp for babies as young as 6 mths.

Hi Sunflower,


Thanks.

Do you happen to know what is the difference in the class content between Kindermusik class and Seimpi class??

[sunflower]

Hi, I’m not exactly clear, but in short, I think Kindermusik is more for general music appreciation (esp for young tots) and Seimpi classes sort of work towards being able to play the keyboard ultimately.

Hi Sunflower,


Found these info on their website. It seems that Seimpi has a program for very young babies like Kindermusik too. But I think you are right, Kindermusik class sounds more fun

Heyya hokkienmee,


http://www.tumbletots.com.sg/gymbabes.html is a great programme for 6 month old babies!

Gives parent and bb time to bond constructively with the expertise of
the play leaders within a clean & safe environment, and also gives bb
a chance to work with various equipments, exercises like crawling and
all which helps keep bb active.

Another i have tried with my elder girl back when she was a baby was http://www.weecare.com.sg/.
They're real professionals, i tell ya. And the spoken language... very
Queens! Good exposure for babies! Hehee... I remember a baby
crawling race during the session and i tell ya, it was the parents who
were more geared and pumped up! Not the babies! Wuahahahhaa!

Got time and $$$ to spare, why not baby enrichment, aye?
You go girl! And yes, welcome to KiasuParents, hokkienmee!

:welcome:

Hi Buds,


Thanks.

Yes, this is my first kid mah, sure \"ganjiong\" a bit lah.

Have looked at different baby gym classes like Gymbabes (Tumble Tots), Gymboree, The Little gym, MyGym and JWT Kids gym. But not sure which one is the best?? But I think most important thing is my girl must like the class, so most likely I will sign up for trial class and let my girl choose for herself

WeeCare sounds interesting. Can the babies interact while they are so young?? Must be really cute seeing them interacting with each other.

:welcome:


yah normally 1st kids, a bit \"ganjiong\", can understand.

hehe, enjoy spending time here.

[buds]

Yes, Wee Care was interesting!

It was a one time thing for me
though cos i attended the trial.

The place was too far in town,
not very convenient for me to
travel up and down in public
transport with my girl, for only
a short duration session.

And it doesn't come cheap.

Woit! No worries ah.. I support
you. It's not kan-cheong... it's
excited. Excited for bb! Hee! :lol:

I practically tried whatever trials
there were available then... and I
started with all the free trials 1st!
So i live up to the kiasu-ism spirit
right? :lol:

[hokkienmee]

Hi Buds,


I think not only baby excited, parents also excited rxploring all the different classes and see how your baby learn and be happy.
