If any of you got relatives in kuala lumpur. I may suggest a place name Kiddo Science Centre. Their enrichment more focus on experimental subjects and most importantly they can bring back all the experiments you child did. You can try visit in :

Good day!

So many "Labs" nowadays! Lol… My children are still in SmartLab. Have been with them for years already…

I also think that concept map may not be veyr useful for some kids, but mindmap is more useful for some kids.

Hi 24hr-mum
You mentioned you hv tried perceptum for your kid - whats e reason of your withdrawal? Is it the one in bishan?
So are you in tinkerlab now? How do you find it?
How old is your kid?
Sorry so many questions!....

Hi DinoMum,
How old are your kids? Does Smartlab emphasis alot on exam techniques?
I just find that Science is really a difficult subject to teach... at least for me. Maths & Languages are so much more straightforward.
Science seems to be a subject that either the kid loves or hates... so getting the right teacher at school and also an interesting tuition/enrichment centre is really important...

Appreciate if you could share more on your experience with Smartlab? :rahrah:
:thankyou:

Hi 24hrmum
Thanks for your reply!
Is your girl in tinkerlab or any other centre now?
Does the classes really help to interest your girl?
Maybe I am kiasu, my DS is gg P2 only next yr but I guess I need time to look for a good science enrichment centre... esp good ones with good timing, get snapped up real fast!

Looks like not so much active threads on Science as compared to Languages / Maths.. maybe most parents go for 1-to-1 tuition for Science esp fr P3 onwards?....
