Hi Mummy,
Can anybody advise me which school has good toddlers class to attend during the weekend
the term PLAYGROUP is simply like a playing cum learning session for a small group of kids (ALso like Pre-Nursery). Admission is open for kids as young as 18m till max 3yo.My boy is born in 2006 which makes him 3yrs old next year .
I called up 2 childcare to enquire .
1 of them told me he's going to be put under PLAYGROUP .
Another told me it's N1 .
Kinda confuse , are both play group and N1 the same ?
N1 meaning pre nursery right ? Thanks .
Hi Mummies,
yup,some Montessori schs do take in as young as 18mths.
Playgroup pgrm 2half onwards.They do hv options for twice/three times a week kind of Playgrp prgm as well.
Once a week kind of parent-child session will also be a good exposure for children aged below 2 1/2 yrs.
u can try chk at ur nearest Montessori schs,usually they offer such prgms on Saturdays.
I think there's one Montessori sch @ Yew Tee, Tulip Montessori if I'm nt mistaken.
Alternatively Esther Mama,u can let ur mum try some simple exercises to work with ur child at home such as get some bottles to open and close,spooning some macaronis from bowl to bowl,open and cls containers,get him involve in pegging clothes (if the child is going 3 yrs),teaching how to use chopsticks to lift sponge(can cut out dishwashing sponge into small pieces).I used to do that with my son at home.
These simple exercises actually train their fine motor skills,hand and eye coordination.
u can try and c how ur child respond to such activities.Happy trying!
