Total Development Programme

[arvi]

I think what Khush has quoted 6000 INR to be monthly payment. The lady to whom I spoke told that it costs 5000 INR as EMI for 36 months (the complete package). They have EMIs for each of the kits as well.

Maybe they are expensive but i like the FREE book on the value of sharing: Big bear's book.
I recomend you download it.

Arvi,
I think u're right...maybe it was the EMI that i remember from the presentation....so the correct amt is what was quoted to u...
Total development program (complete set) - 1,40,000 INR
Math kit - 20,650 INR
Values kit - 20,650 INR
Reading kit - 42,500 INR

Kimba,
the materials are very good...high quality...the content is vast and in detail (which we can easily source from google) but definately not worth the amt....
and to keep up with their exact curriculum (like first teaching from book and then using the cd, then revision....its like u opening a school in yr house!) sounded little impractical to me....

So if I'm getting that right, it's about $131.36 a month for 3 years, so $4728.96?  Yikes!  I think I could buy every other program out there for that price!

I saw the presentation today. I am impressed with few of the books. Unfortunately, they are not selling individual books. We have to buy it as a set.

I liked the Cognitive skills set with ABC treasure hunt and Visual perception book. This set seems to contain lots of other materials as well, in total 17 books. The price is around 20,650 INR

The Knowledge series also seems to be good though we can get such kinds of materials from other sources. This set provides a wide horizon of information (though not complete) in such a way that it can be scaled down to a kid's level. I am wondering if we can provide such an enrichment ourselves at home without the use of this set.

But other sets like Reading, Math etc did not appeal to me much. I am still in a dilemma if I should go for one of the above sets. Unfortunately, there are not enough reviews to make a proper decision.

So that would make it only
$2,894.17 US.  I still think I could buy more "content" buy using the same money to buy a variety of things mentioned on these forums.

[Umm e Hashim]

Yes you are right Ouroboros1 we could buy more "content" with this price

hi everybody,

I picked up 4 sets of the total development program for kids and I must say I am very impressed with the products. I also thought like other parents that I can get information from various places etc. But to be truthful, I didnt even know that there is so much to know in the first place. Its like your childs library at home. I was a book lover as a kid and was thrilled whn my dad got me the set of britannica's. I cherish them till date. Its the same company.I think the products are very relevant. We cant deny the fact that the schools wont be able to give individual attention to every child in the class. The onus is always on the parents. The kids will definately love the books. The materials, especially the knowledge series can be used untill the age of 14. The product is very well researched.I know its expensive but when i look at it as a long term investment, it seems worth it.And also, I would be happy if my child uses his energy doing all the fun stuff mentioned in the book rather than wailing of his time watching tv. Even if he wants to watch tv, All the dvds and vcds which are a part of this product are really very good to be used.Its better than mindless stuff that they watch.The pc game dvds are also very good and insightful.incase any parent wants to know more about it, please let me know. I would be glad to help out.

oops.. i find it very costly....

[angie]

I bought the Child's First Library of Learning for my son when he was 5. He absolutely loved it. I got it from the second hand book market which cost less than 5% of the original price. So,do look out for Amazon or ebay if you don't mind getting used books for your child.

I tried a lot to get them second hand but could not. Also, lot of additions have been made to the materials. There are monthly options available.You can look at taking the EMI route for the same. It isnt too costly if you want to buy one set at a time. EMI starts from as low as 1200 rs.

What age are the kids you are using it with?
 Please keep posting as you continue using it.

My son is 9m old...dont know what he understands. But he gets so excited whnever I show him the animals book. He loves walter.
