My eldest DD started Shichida at age 12 mths, the second DD started at 15mths (because she was on waitlist…yeah…very long que…so be prepared) My eldest DD stooped when she turned 2 because we had to go our of country for a year. Afer that she joined Shichida again at age 3 but had to stopped because my second one was coming along and we jsut couldn’t juggle anymore. My second DD is still with shichida now at 2 years and I plan to let her continue till 3 years old.

13mths is a good time to start shichida, it will expose her to "school" concept.

For Berries, they start excepting at Nursery level so maybe age 3? Zoophonics has various programmes. They take in at 18 mths onwards for once / week classes and 2.5 years for daily classes (if I’m not wrong).

For berries, I find that their curriculum is quite comprehensive and the standard is also pretty high. I say this because my DD was with Han languange before for 2 years before I swtiched her to Berries after good feedbacks. Han is quite bad really, regretted sending her there. Han is like tuition class which I feel is more suitable for bigger kids and not pre-schoolers. For Berries, the class is conducted in a fun way and they have homework which they need to complete with their parents. It’s a means to let know you how much they have covered and also serves as a revision. The curriculum is better set up and organised with proper books and printed materials instead of "photocopies". They learn comprehension and han yu pinyin among other things. Sometimes they do some craft work which may not be really "reading and writing" but I think it’s good too because they learn to listen to instructions in chinese.
In my DD’s class, they have 2 teachers attending to them rather than just 1 which is definitely better since more attention can be given to poorer slower students. I’m not sure about other outlets if they do the same by the Woodlands one is the one my DD attends.

However, I do have a friend who enrolled her son to K2 in Berries but was asked to be put in K1 because her son’s level of chinese wasn’t good enough at that point. So I think they go by the children’s capability too.

Yes, they have a trial lesson at $15. They will deduct the $15 if you decide to enrol.

Can you share with us at which age did your children start Shichida, Zoophonics and Berries? Wondering if these classes are good for 13-month old kid. Thanks!

for parents who want sports programmes for toddlers, would recommend trying out these two, both of which my children tried before...can try kindergolf. like the environment of the place but a bit x, still ok, the kids like this http://www.kindergolf.com/
recommend the amk branch one

or visit Skate With Us (http://www.skate-with-us.com) where they specialised in teaching children to rollerblade. they have a special children programme where they use the montessori method and active play learning which is different from the normal skate schools. i prefer their small class size and i like that they have more female coaches

My friend started her child at age 3 so should be N1 level and she has seen tremendous progress in her child's chinese. They hardly speak mandarin at home with her and yet, her daughter can speak and recognize the letters very well.

I put my daughter to the wrong chinese enrichment class at age 4....her chinese is still very bad. :stupid: I recently sent her to Berries and I can already see why their programme is better.

CMA is mental arithmetics (abascus)....not for very young children. Only for those that can write their numbers well. So maybe you can keep that in mind.. 😉

Hi all,


Just want to share my 2 cents worth on schicida. my 2 DD attends shichida but the elder one stopped at 3 years old. my younger one now 22 mhts old is still attending it. i find the method quite good and i must say that my elder DD's memory is excellent (she remembers where i park my car exactly on which flr) and she can remember names and places very well. But above all, i find the method good becasue they enjoy it and find learning fun! It also builds a lot of confidence in them and i literally had no issue sending her off to school in a school bus by herself at age 2.5. Ho fuss and no crying! Since then, she's been atending many other classes like zoo-phonics, CMA, Berries and I have no issues with her learning independently. i hope my youngest one will follow suit as well so that i will have no issue when i leave her at her CC later on.

Zoo-phonics works for my DD, she's already reading story books at age 4. Berris is also good to start at younger age. i started her at a later age so not seing so much benefits. But my friends' child started at age 3 and now she's super with chinese..in fact better than her phonics...

i definetely would recommend Schicida, Zoo and Berries....anyways, just my 2 cents worth..... 😉
Hi,

What is the recommended age for Berries?
What is CMA?

Hi EASON MAGPIES,


I did call edufarm some time ago for my #1 phonics... wah... long time leh... cos they will wait til have enough people to call in, then they'll form a class...

I'm not certain, but it seems like their venues are RC - based? That being said, I just wanna expose my #2 to some music n fun (gym)... no $ to send to expensive ones for now (until he shows that he has exceptional talent.. hehehe).. So edufarm like what you said is like having 2 types of exposure (albeit not so \"good\" as exp ones) for 1 of the branded ones..

Which edufarm did u register?

Maybe we should all form 1 group (think they need minimum 5) then can start class!! 😎
They did not reply my email. I think they probably not going to. I was going to call them but just so busy during the week.

We could form but I am staying the west and I actually wanted to go HV or Strathmore ave both most conv for me.

Hi, would like to join in too! 😄


My DS is a Sept '09 baby...

All the enrichment seemed expensive.... did anyone try edufarm? I know it's conducted at RC at HDB void-deck... but thought it'll be a cheap start to just basic music and gym... they have
- star tots gym
- star tots music

http://www.edufarm.com.sg/courses.html

Comments?
hey thanks for your website. Yes enrichment class are expensive. I find my budget only allows my DD to take one so I was considering Kindermusik. I saw this website and is almost half the price.

I already send them an email. Will wait for their reply. Might try their Star tots music to see how it goes and if lessons are good I can even do 2 type of course with them which is about the same amount doing 1 course at kindermusik or LNT.

is your DS a august baby?

me too wont be going for shichida. heard there's some conflict in the kindergarten side.. very complicated...

anyway. tomorrow i will be going for zoo phonic at thomson, will give my comment after i come back from class!. 🙂

My DS is a Sep baby.... 😎
Yeah...Shichida closed down the kindergarten..exact reason I am not sure. What I know is LNT is set-up by one of the ex-founder of Shichida...so sounds like the bosses there are complicated business people.

Please do share zoo phonic with me...chat then.

LNT is changing their name and course name. They send me an email on the new courses. Heard it change boss again but the LNT jurong branch has very friendly and nice staff

Brainkid:
Walamak!! I like this thread! :lol:


I have a 16 months ds so I suppose my kid fall about the same age as most of yours. I need more comments on LNT ( Bt Timah Branch). Please tell me the progress of your child.

I will be sending mine to CS Montessori (Bt Timah)..dunno good or not but will update.

So far, my ds tried the trial classes with Kindermusik, Gymboree, Baby Play Gym, My Little Play Gym, Mother & Child. I think if you are keen, take the trial classes because every kid is different.

Reports from my experience with ds:
Kindermusik: He tried when he was 9mths. The teacher was singing and using different instruments but not really engaging. You can see some parents bringing the kids there for the sake of bringing. Some kids wonder around (just like mine :oops: ). Maybe older would have been better.

Gymboree (Harbour Front): Complete disappointment. The centers employ mainly Filipino who are great singers. But thats their only forte. They seems to be doing things at their own pace leaving struggling parents to follow them. The centers looks very cramped and I was not happy to see they did not protect certain parts of the wooden slides well ( I can see screws jutting out!) Not safe.And I hate to compete with other parents.

Baby Play Gym:
Good teachers, well protected facilities. They focus on flashcards and have a gym activities after the lesson. Too bad ds is already on GD and looks bored with seeing flashcards again. Recommend to join if staying in the West and am looking for something (language+play) for kids on weekends.

Mother & Child:
This is for tai tai. I went for the trial with ds when he was 9mths while I was clearing my maternity. In fact this was the first enrichment he went.Lots of ang moh kids..very much like Kindermusik but I think this is better as it involves more singing and child participation.

Little Play Gym: ds is there every weekend and he is continuing with them next term thou at the Forum branch. The ones in Marina all full...good business. This one is good. The instructors are all very professional. It is opened by a Filippino ( so I am not discriminating Filippino here eh.. :lol: )but better than Gymboree. Space is much bigger with ds running and screaming around every week. Very safe. ds can fall and I can just sit on the walking beam waiting for him to get up himself.

BTW, I am not interested in Shichida as I went there with dh and we find them too commercialise. We do not like the idea of our innocent young ones learning mind-reading..kind of eerie to us.. :!: That is the reason I am opting Montessori to Shichida-type (LNT) but my options are still open if LNT is good... :lol:

Lets continue sharing.... :celebrate:
Welcome Welcome

I intend to keep this thread going so we can all share our experiences.

Thanks so much for sharing.

I chose LNT Jurong mainly because of location but I chose LNT group as over little genius and Shichida.

This is from my experience talking to the sales staff...I never did any trial class.

Little Genius gave me impression they dont have much to offer and quite expensive.

Shichida gave me the same expression as what you described and the staff attitude is like they got more than enough business. You want you come if not nevermind.

LNT gave me the best impression so I finally enrol my DD there. After 3 months we did not see much effect. I dont think its the school fault as they already mentioned full impact is at least 2 years. The teachers and staff are all very helpful and friendly. I can see them putting in effort. These are all the staff at the Jurong branch.

Now my DD completed 3 months at LNT, my DW suggest trying kindermusik so we might go there. We have stopped at LNT mainly as my budget probably allow for DD one enrichment course only.

I just check the website edufarm thanks to lil_jade. They have a branch near my house and only $180 for 12 lessons of music so me and dw will probably go check it out.

Hello all parents...

Just a quick update...how times flies. Now my DD is already 11 months old.

She just almost completed her little Neuro Tree course at Jurong East. To be very honest because of her age (only 11 months now) we can see much effect of the course.

Little Neuro also just changed their name. I think now should be different management.

Now DW is considering not to continue there for next term but to go over to Kinder musik to try because she heard from friend that it is good and fun.

Anyone can advise me what you think?

I also posted before if anyone want to sell their old used Flashcard at discount pls PM me...still looking for cheaper flashcards.

Thanks !

How about the rest of you who contributed to this thread. Any updates to share?

Perhaps we can keep this thread going as an update and learn from each other as our kids grow together. Our kids more or less about same age.

Hi EASON MAGPIES,

Can you tell us what changes did you discover for yr DD after attending LNT course? LNT has changed their name? Do u hv any idea what's the new name of the school?

Just to share...My girl attended the Shichida Method for nearly 1 term already and what I have discovered is she could recall quite a number of things that the teachers taught. But one thing bad about her is she could not really sit still throughout the lesson. Some of the things that she don't like, she will just got off her seat and walk around. Afterall, I found that more or less she got a hang of it already and I'm quite pleased with it.

Any other mummies or daddies would like to share yr experiences too?

Yes, let's keep this thread moving!

Sorry may I ask how old is your girl now? Mine got about 2 lessons left for LNT and she is now 11 months. We have done flashing card for her at home but I admit is not daily...maybe every 2-3 days and we do have limited cards. I cannot really see much effect. I was wondering is it because she is too young or it takes longer than 1 term to see effect.

How do you discover she can recall things? Do you show her pictures for her to point out? Mine also she will distract at times when she attends her lesson. Only attentive when actually flashing card when singing songs.

So now my wife suggest we stop a term and try kindermusik next term instead and come back after that. I still considering.

This is the email LNT sent to me about their new name and program for next term. I pasted it here for your reference.


5 December 2010

Dear parents,

Come January 2011, we will be launching an enhanced brain stimulation programme at Hougang and Jurong East - My Little GeniusTM. We would like to invite you and your child to experience this programme with us.

My Little Genius is dual-language (English and Chinese) Multi-DimensionalTM Brain Stimulation programme which unleashes the genius in every child. On top of the brain stimulation activities that your child previously experienced at our centres, there will also be additional new activities to interest the children and further bring out their genius potential.

Some new activities include:
Early Reading (Introduction of reading cards)

My Little GeniusTM[/quote]Hi,

My girl is currently 15 months. I don't show her flashcards everyday too as I'm really too tired for it. What I can see is she could recall those songs that the teachers played during the class. As for the flashcards, in fact, before sending her to SM, I hv already started her off and now she could point or show me the action/item once I flash the word cards to her. I think SM is only a supplement, if u really wana go deep into it, parents really have to play their part at home. This is what I believe.

Seems like My Little Genius are including more programs in their curriculum. Can anybody feedback after attending? Thanks!
