Heguru Right Brain Method

[Teoh]

Hi,

Both my kids are in Shichida. The Oct intake at PJ centre is the third term of my elder son and the first for my younger one who is now 19 mths. We were at KL centre previously.
What I heard from the sensei at KL centre is that most of the sensei in Heguru are from Shichida but I dont know how far is true. Have u make a comparison btw the fees??
From what I understand, both centres aimed at right brain development and I believe there wont be much differences abt the ways they adopt or use in class to stimulate the kids' brain. Can other parents shed some light on Heguru beside my very basic understanding??

regards,
Teoh

I went to the Heguru center on 28th, Sep (last last sunday). Quite good environment. The person in charge told me I can have trial class for my kid at about RM80 for 1 trial lesson (rm400/5 time per month). But I haven't go for it yet because still trying to do more research see whether is there any other options besides shichida, heguru & tweedlewink.

I also called up tweedlewink. The principal told me that they are offering the course with the mixture of glenn doman, shichida & heguru. But I am not sure about it. I have no experienced with those mentioned method. Still trying to find out more details about these method.

Hi Ivory,

I would suggest that you go for the trial class in Heguru to judge for yourself. Be prepared as the pace of the class is very fast.

I was in TW before I pulled my child out of the programme. Read my earlier post. Note that they are no longer under TW and although the principal will tell you the programme has not changed and even added more elements, pls be aware that the programme has indeed changed compared to when they were still with TW. Yes, it is a more gentle and relaxed approach, but paying so much for a "mixed" programme which makes it not a real right brain programme anymore, is certainly too overpriced.

Do not feel like you have to enrol your child in a right brain programme in order for your child to keep up. With that kind of money that you pay, you can enrol him/her in a few enrichment classes and I think that will sort of make up.

Thanks for your input. I get what you mean.

So are you sending your kid to these right brain development center? I think it will help them to develop right brain. I also think that something like musical class etc will help also.

Are you a full time mother? I am not, am working mother. So do not really have time for my kids which sometimes make me feel guilty...

[sheesheebaby]

Hello Ivory,

Yes I'm a full time mother. No need to feel guilty that you don't spend enough time with your child. Eventhough I'm with my son 24/7, I feel I still don't spend enough time stimulating him as I have to cook, clean. (I don't have a maid). Even If I don't have to do housework, I will be doing other stuff. I do feel guilty, but we have to strike a balance. My hubby and I try to make it up to him by bringing him to parks and playgrounds as often as we can. What to do.

I am in the midst of trying out a few trial classes in different centres. Some musical, some preschool. I wanted to enrol him in Heguru, but they can't open a class at my preferred time. So I'm still keeping my options open.

Hi Ivory,

MusikHaus is another centre for kids to learn music through hiphop dancing and playing of musical instruments. This is another proven way to stimulate their right brain. Its located in Mutiara Damansara near The Curve. PM me if u want to know more about the centre.

Halo Teoh,

I think I will go and have a look for MusikHaus. Please do share with me if you have more information about it. Thanks alot. 

Halo Sheesheebaby,

Should I call you like this? Thanks for your advice. I will try to spend more valuable time with my kids. You still have time to look for suitable option for your son since he is only 2 yrs old.

Ivory,

I think the person in charged are in a better position to explain to u all the things u want to know abt the centre. Here is the tel no: 03-77280834. Both my sons are in Musikhaus. They have just joined in Oct09.

Hi Teoh,

Just wondering what is the minimum age to join the class? I'm also thinking to enroll my 2yo daughter to yoga class in Gymboree ,Tropicana citymall too, hope she could have better concentration.


Dear Ivory,
Are you a full time mother? I am not, am working mother. So do not really have time for my kids which sometimes make me feel guilty...

Pls do not blame yourself for not having enough time for your child. As a mum of 2yo with a helper at home, I don't really spend much time with my daughter too. Most of the time I just spend about an hour the most to read,  to sing, do some worksheets from Shichida, 5 sets of flash cards once a day, may be evening activities like swimming or painting, that's all... I don't work, but always going out to visit my friends or ex-colleagues in the afternoon ..sound even worse right?  Do spare half an hour  quality time per day is more than enough rather than spending quantity time , no pressure ! You know what, working mum is very great to me!!

To Sheesheebaby,
Salute to you!   you are really capable mum, taking care of your lovely child yet have to do house works, it's really a tough job!!!

Hi Jean,

There is no minimum age as they have a class specially for the age group fr new born to 18 mths which they called the class "Babies". For those 18 mths to 3 will join the class called "bubbles"...My personal opinion-I think music class is better if u want to stimulate their right brain as compared to Gymboree which concentrates more on their motor skills which eventually they will learn later when the time has come.....

[sheesheebaby]

Hello Ivory,

Hahaha........sheesheebaby is what I used to call my baby. He's no longer a baby, but I sometimes still call him that, you know, a child will forever be a baby in his/her own parent's eye.

Jean, you should tell that to my hubby. He always thinks I am having a good life by not having to work.

Teoh,
I went for Musikhaus's bubble class. Frankly speaking, I wish they had spent some time on musical instrument. Or maybe just the class that I went to, they omitted the musical instrument part? What do you think of the Musikhaus preschool?

[Teoh]

Sheesheebaby,

U went for trial class or your kid has already joined?? I think for bubble class they will use less of the musical instruments may be due to the less developed motor skill and oso coordination of their hands. Cause for kidjammez class, I can see the kids have the chance to use diff types of musical instruments.
I totally have no idea on the preschool. By the way, are there any parents sending their kids to Peter and Jane in SS2??

 

[sheesheebaby]

Teoh/Jean,

I went for the trial class for bubbles (18mths - 2.5 years old). 1 class is not enough to evaluate everything but this is what I observed. In the brochure, they mentioned character building songs, stories and drama.......errrr.....if my memory didn't fail me, the songs were just normal nursery rhymes, and no drama. The teacher was telling a story using apparatus, similar to Gymboree. In terms of creativity, I think Gymboree wins. Gymboree goes extra length to help develop creativity of the child, as in they go from 1 "station" of equipment to the other pretending that the stations are ovens, forests, etc. But Musikhaus has live music (teacher plays piano on the spot) which according to the teacher, is more effective. Gymboree uses CDs. But Gymboree music classes on weekdays are quite empty, so each class may have just 1 or 2 children.

As for Musikhaus preschool, I am thinking of going for the trial class. You can choose either once, twice or thrice a week. Anyone can give me some input on this?

Teoh, I went to see P&J in Mutiara Damansara. The moment I saw the students wearing shoes in the class, I was so put off that I never consider this kindie again. I'm not sure about the one in SS2. Maybe different.

Jean, I'm so sorry I can't offer you anymore other than what I wrote.

Hi, Please may I have more information on Heguru, Shichida and Tweedlewink.
Son is 3+, may I know is it too late to start him on these enrichment programs?
