My boy is already attending the Nursery class now.  There are 13 in our class.

Any comments on playgroup class? Comments on Toddlerobics from parents are not that good ~

We are both in bumble bee class so the teachers are the same? My girls loves all the teachers and started speaking mandarin herself.

Ya, should be the same teachers.  My boy likes the teachers too.  He does not like people easily but he was smiling so happily when he saw one of them this morning during assembly.  And I was also surprised with the effect of mandarin lessons on him after only 2 weeks.  He started saying "太陽公公有沒有來？沒有來，沒有來“, and he really likes to recite the 沒有來，沒有來, haaa!

Honestly the playgroup classes we attended were average.  The lesson structure was alright and similar to Nursery but teacher was average.  I understand from some of the mummies that the teacher in the other class is better and I strongly believe so, coz we met her at the indoor playgroup, and she played with my boy even though we were not from her class.  Too bad we never get to attend her class, coz we only joined for one season and we joined for the priority reason.  I am more interested in Nursery than playgroup.

Yes, they can pick up really fast!  It's really amazing to experience it myself.  We have zero exposure of mandarin at home too.

I never asked, but I guess there are 4 classes for Nursery, ie. 2 AM + 2 PM.  Not sure about K1.

Hello hello! My kid is in toddlerobics now and I'm okay with the class..as the other parents mentioned, first 10mins are free time then move into a room. Thats around 5 songs that each class sings. Sometimes the kids got treated like playing parachute, bubble popping at the end.. 45mins to me is alright for a 14mths toddler really. it might sound so little (in regard of songs or class duration) to parents, its actually a lot to kids. my son learns to stomp his feet and know where his ears right after the first class, im surprised enough. In my opinion, kids at this stage are all about repeating (just like building blocks and potty training) so if repeating means hea, I could not agree. it really depends on what parents expect I reckon. but i have to say Teacher joms from whampoa campus is quite nice and you can tell he loves kids!  But I would consider letting my kid to playgroup next term since he reaches the age, I will definitely seek advice from the playgroup teacher to see if she thinks my sons is ready.

My boy is attending Nursery class at Whampoa campus.  I have heard very positive feedbacks from few parents (whose kid attended playgroup before) about Teacher Nicky who is the playgroup teacher at Whampoa campus.

Honestly I dont really see the need to travel so far for a playgroup.  Unless you are planning to move forward with their nursery and kindergarten classes, you might need to think about it. Just my 2 cents worth advise.

Do you have to join the toddlerobics then playgp continuously to get priority to nursery?
If I just join toddlerobics or playgp for one term, will I still get tbe priority?

Yes I also think the class is much below expectations. Things taught can all be done at home and there are not much interaction between parents nor the babies.... Was a bit disappointed...

Don't know whether the Playgroup would be much better?  I am thinking whether I should enrol the upcoming spring term or not???
