What's the best age to start enrichment classes??

I feel that it is difficult to determine a “best age” per say. What is most important (to me) would be that the child is having fun while learning. Some of the activities offered by enrichment classes for infants (e.g., 6 months and above) can often be replicated at home as the activities are mostly learning and developing skills through play. One factor, then, to consider would be whether parents are able to provide that kind of engagement. Given that most families have both parents working, it is much tougher for parents to provide the same kind of stimulation for their babies. Also, enrichment classes do offer opportunities for social interaction, which may be tougher to achieve in a smaller family (which is also typical of Singaporean families). Hence, I think to decide when to enroll a child into enrichment classes may be dependent on: 1. Child’s personality: whether he/she would enjoy the class setting. 2. Parent’s needs: if both parents are working, playschool and enrichment classes may be a good option as compared to having the child stay home and watch television all day While on this topic, here is a great article on how to avoid overscheduling a child for enrichment classes: http://sg.theasianparent.com/are-we-over-scheduling-our-kids/
