Dear All, can I check when will be the right age to send lo to sch? Most N1 classes starts fr 3 years old. Am I depriving my lo of learning if I only send her to sch when she turns 3? Coz I've many friends who sent their kids to childcare at 18 months. Are there any good enrichment classes that I can send her to over the weekend?

I sent my boy to school only at 3 years old - at n1. I don't think I "deprived" him of learning opportunities and I see him developing well (in my opinion anyway). I personally feel that play in childhood and parent-child bonding are more important. Learn to play, play to learn =) Enrichment wise, I signed him for music at 18 months. At 2.5 years - I sent him to a 2 hour drop-off playgroup 3 times a week (to prep him for drop-off n1). My personal recommendations for 18 month would be : 1: music (kindermusik, juz music, seimpi) 2: gym (my gym) 3: playgroups (two by two, bubbles learning house) 4: play and exploration (sparkanauts) If you don't mind me sharing - todaygotclass.com is having some promos if you would like to trial. - My Gym : 4 trial classes at $120 - Sparkanauts : Christmas package of 3 weekday passes at $120 - Kindermusik : $19 for one trial class Hope this helps!

Hi - between Kindermusik and seimpi - I would think both train in the basics of music and movement for young tots. However seimpi is likely to gear towards playing the keyboard whereas Kindermusik is all about instrumental exploration. My personal opinion.
