Trial Class @ GymnAdemics

20 May 2012

We signed up for a trial class for Jonathan at GymnAdemics located at Midview City (Sim Ming vicinity). The trial class was organized by the SMH Sept 11 mummies (yes, they are such a great bunch of mummies!) and I tagged along with them.

GymnAdemics uses GD program which is Glenn Doman flashcards program and they incorporated physical and music and language (English and Chinese). $38 for a trial class of 1hr 15 mins lesson.

We started with free play and parents are allowed to accompany their babies. However, socks must be worn at the premises.

Here we are... with Jonathan watching intensely at the flashcards being flashed. I think he is used to having flashcards at home, so he was able to sit quietly and pay attention when the teacher did a 1-to-1.

We also learnt how to encourage our little ones to creep and then crawl. In fact, we were told by the teachers that Jonathan has very little floor time, hence he was not able to creep (move forward) when he was on tummy. To encourage him, toys can be used to entice him. So with practices at home, ah boy is making good progress. Also, I noticed the babies attending infant care centers, they are much faster in crawling. So I guess being at IFC has its advantages too.


After a tiring (according to Darren, since he was the one doing the physical exercises with Jonathan) 1hr and 15 mins, we ended the trial class with sleepy and hungry babies.

But we sure all had fun!
