Can see my earlier comments. Have friends w kids in GUG mountbatten and so far they all have very good feedback. From my own experience, there's difference starting child at 1 yr old and younger. They seem to pick up phonics, English/Mandarin language, counting and other motor skills faster, either from participating or even just observing in class. My own kids started ard 9 mths old @ GUG and must admit they both benefited a lot from early start. Every child is different, so it's best you visit the school and go for a trial class

Hi

Are u able to get a slot for the trial? I was on waiting lists since Apr..and never heard from them..hiaz..

Hi. I called up and was informed that the trial class costs $50 and is not deductable from term fees if I decide to enrol my kid. The term started on june 25 ( term 4 ) for 8 to 18 months weekend classes. Next term starts in August.

I haven’t booked a trial yet. I didn’t realise it would be difficult to get a trial date and was hoping to call on the weekend.
I will post a message on this forum if I am successfull with booking for the trial.

Hi, currently my 19 mths gal is not attending any playgroup or childcare… Is it a good idea to send her to GUG? to learn n to make frens…

is GUG enrichment class (to learn extra other than sch)?

Hi rocco,


It’s always a good idea to expose your girl to more things, socialise and make more friends. For 19mths baby, you’ll probably be in their "Gifted Babes" class (from 8mths - 18mths) and when she’s more ready, to move her to "Gifted Tots" (18mths onwards). However, you may choose to put her directly into "Gifted Tots" class. You may want to check with the admin staff if your girl is suitable for a particular class, eg. are there more babies closer to her age range.

Erm, for your qn on "enrichment class", well, for 19-mth old child, I would think that all the classes she attends are enrichment classes? Btw, both Gifted Babes and Gifted Tots are parent-accompanied class. You’ll get to go through everything taught in class.
