You may also can try on Beebop Circus located in The School, Jaya One. Back in 2013, I went for a month trial (yes, they gave free trial class for a month!). I signed up during Baby Fair in KLCC, not sure they are still doing that.

Let me share my experiences bringing my toddler (he was 18 months then):
1st trial: ok, seemed to enjoy it
2nd trial: on the way to the class, he slept. Carried him with stroller to the class, still sleeping, class began, still sleeping, class ended, started to wake up. Cranky because he woke up in strange place with loud music.
3rd trial: I brought him an hour earlier, all in good mood. Class started, he kept playing and refused to join the class. The instructor kept encouraging him to join in, but he refused to do so.. At the end, he played all by himself
4th trial: can't make it as we were away. At the end, didn't sign up for it.

So, I concluded that my toddler wasn't ready for the classes yet. My main reason to sign up for classes is that he will have some friends to play with, not so lonely, have a bit of social interactions. My sister told me that we will need 2 -3 months to settle him in the classes. Her son went to Schicida at 18 months too, worse still, skipping most of classes for the 1st two months, then started to settle in after 3 months. Another sister, she enrolled her daughter to Heguru ( same as Schicida ), settled her daughter within a month.

You will need a lot of patience to handle them. Make sure that your LO have sufficient nap and feed them well before the classes, else you will waste your time and money when they refuse to join the classes.

Knowing my son, I settled for Playgroup instead. Get a few mothers together, meet once a week, no fix routine, at different venue and let the children play together. Sometimes we meet at the playground, sometimes at mall (ie Yukids or Jkids). He is way happier than attending classes.

That's not true, you will be surprised on how easily they can adapt. Please don't be confuse with the term, "classes", they are not academic based.

Do you have a child or attended any classes with him or her? The activities you describe as above are available in enrichment centre like Da Vinci, Little Chef, etc. And yes, the kids will spend time with parents, get involved in activities in the classes.

Not many parents are as talented as you are, can make a kite or bake a cake, so they get a little help from the professionals. Ok?



Speechless..

Your wife is in this line? What is she work as? It means that she is not truthful to the job if she didn't believe in what she is doing! Is she just scamming all the retarded parents?

Kindy is for above 4 years old

Below 3 years old, they go to Preschool or Day care. But this is out of topic from enrichment classes TS is asking about.

Kindergarten is different from preschool or day care, and your wife is running Kindergarten which accepts 3 years old and above. Kindy is daily, Mon to Fri, while a Preschool can be 3 times a week or 5 times a week. Kindy is more structured and always end up with exam while preschool is more towards a play school without any exam.

While enrichment classes is only once a week for 45 mins to an hour. The classes can be either art, gym, speech and drama, music, etc. I know a parent who starts sending his 6 months old baby to swimming classes, and the baby can float by himself at 12 months old. Swimming is an important survival skills and most babies will enjoy to be in water.

I didn't think it's wrong for the parent to send his child to these enrichment classes. But it is important that the child equally happy and enjoying the classes. Otherwise it's futile.
