It's a bit silly they don't give prices online or over the phone. I can only image the cost! LOL
They also don't have any distrubuters in Canada or the US.
Let us know what happens!

I finally had the presentation by TOTAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM ppl.
A lady had come to my place with lots of materials like books, cds, dvds etc
I'd say its an Advanced Doman method. Every bit that we present to the child goes into details and more details.
They have classified the learning age-wise and hence there is a curriculum to be followed each year.
Frankly I was not very impressed with the program. If I give all the detailed knowledge to my child at home, what is she going to learn new at school? Whats the point in sending my child to school if she already knows everything?
The cost of the program was abt INR 6000 i.e. $130.

I spoke to a representative of educationaltechnologies and this is what she was quoting the price for each of the products.
Total development program (complete set) - 1,40,000 INR
Math kit - 20,650 INR
Values kit - 20,650 INR
Reading kit - 42,500 INR
Very expensive products. But I have not yet seen any of their presentations. I am planning to look at these products to see if its worth the money. Instead of spending money for this, I think it is worth spending for other books and enrich knowledge.

Arvi,
Very true...its very expensive...I dont know how she quoted such a huge amount...the lady who came to our house said it was for Rs 6000....which I found to be "not worth the money". They mainly focus on homeschooling, which is why their products are so expensive....
Instead we can buy a lot of reading books and educational toys/materials with the same amount....

I'm confused. I wonder what is the correct amount? What Khush was quoted sounds affordable, but the other quote is definetly not an affordable price. $130 for the entire program sound very cheap actually. There is a LOT of books and equipment. Anyone else had quotes?

I converted the INR price to AUD and found it to be 3204 dollars very expensive. What are the materials like are they good quality? worht the price. That price is approx 2 1/2 terms at montessori school.
There are alot of products though.
