how did you learn about this place? Best to try for yourself.
A friend really liked it so I bought classes for 2 months. I didn't like it.
the receptionist is just an ex-nurse but she pretends to know a lot about child development.
I have come across a teacher who ""pretends"" to be speaking English but her English is hardly English at all.
Expensive also.
But some people really like the idea that their courses are for gifted children.
Fact- the organization is founded by a gifted person. I cannot find relevant information on their webpage detailing how and to what extent is their program for gifted kids or if their program can help your child attain "gifted" level intelligence.
I joined with expectation of professionalism and advanced early childhood education and I finished my classes feeling confused and a "huh?" in mind.
my son joint in last Sep and he was 11 months old, but we would not continue ...as its a bit expensive but not much special than other playgroup...but some of my friends love the centre as they found their kids improve a lots...i think it depends on your kid's character...
I thought of little aristle too, but the location seems a bit remote to me, i'm a working mum, attending 2 sessions per week seem quite intensive, what's more, it's expensive, therefore, end up i didnt join.
My son joined last Oct for a month when he was 9 months old. Actually we didnt finish all the 8 lessons and we left already. He got ear infection twice during that 7 lessons, and I didn't see any gifted curriculum nor gifted teachers incorporated into the program. Frankly speaking, it's just a very normal playgroup, charging a rather expensive fee, with no outstanding input. We joined TT and Victoria instead and my son enjoys both versus non-stop crying in LA. Sigh.
I have been there for over 9 months now.many of my friends study there as I referred them. All of them are satisfied with the class, two of them joined TT also when it came to them pn the wait lists . But both of them quit TT after the first three months as they think Most of the time babies are playing themselves with their caregiver, no involvement of the teacher and the charge is equally high as little Aristle.
my girl is going to TT pre nursery school now.and she also joined their playgroup classed since 18months.she likes going there but i think that school is for playing more than learning .so i joined aristle too.she only knew counting one to ten.but today i heard her counting one to twenty!in fact,she jz been there for 3 lessons only~
Haven't log in for long time, so i did realised your reply.
I have already paid another semester and my son has just switched to a more advance level class, up till now, I'm satisfied with Aristle. Most of the teachers I met in Aristle are nice, friendly & helpful.
And actually, I cannot give a very comprehensive comment, as I have not tried other playgroups.
