I send my both my kids, Daniel and Desiree to Q-Dees because they have a good programs to encourage positive growth.From academics to art to music appreciation to language to physical ed, it's so nice to have my kids coming home and sing me a song that they've learnt in school.Through these programs, I've also discovered that Daniel likes drawing and painting, while Desiree is more musically inclined.

Q-Dees is available throughout Malaysia.

Hi guys,
I heard from friends of mine,that smart reader kids is good too.

Hi Guys,

Currently I'm sending my little Angel - Qarissa to Gymboree- Play & Music. Its the only centre that accept new born - 6 month age. Other center only accept 6 month & above. I guess it's too late for me to send Qarissa after 6 months (I really want my baby to be like Felicity! Hehhehe...)

Now Qarissa is under Level 3 ( 11 - 16 months). The teacher want her to be in Level 3 two weeks ago! (that time she's around 10 months 2 weeks). Today 26/5/09 my baby is 11 months! ( how fast time flies!) I think its gud that her teacher want her to be in Level 3 earlier coz it can encourage her to grow & walk faster! I can see the different since she in Level 3. She was so active in the class (coz all her friend can walk & even run!) & right after the class finish, she will straight away sleep in car. I believe she must be really tired!

I'm still looking for any good & suitable class when Qarissa get older. Not sure which one is the best but rite now I'm thinking of KUMON. If any of M;sia parents have any suggestion about any education centre, kindly share it here @ emel me. I really want to know.

KL, i've heard of Shichida method as well. I think they have the centre in M'sia too.But I'm not sure how the method look like. Maybe I will browse the web (if any) & see whether its worth to join or not.Hhehhee..Gymboree also have the speciall class for toddlers but its is VERY VERY expensive....(for me ..heheheh)

Opss, forget to inform that the Gymboree is located @ Bangsar Village near Mid Valley. Level 1 beside Toy's R Us. Another one is in Tropicana City Mall (new branch). Its quite hard to find early education  (i mean as early as 1 day age!) in Malaysia. After 6 month age,there only fews education centre. After 3 years is A LOT!! (like kindergarten & montessori),Smart reader, Q Dees, Little Calliph & the list go on ...

I send Qarissa to Gymboree once @ twice a week. I called it her "social class". Hehhe..so she can mingle with other friends of her age. Other then that, of course homeschooling. I bough GOGO Education Set & she loves it so much! Everyday after bathing, when her nanny take her down, she will straight away say .."GOGO"..she watch GOGO from afternoon until night without feel bored at all (my god..i really cant stand it sumtimes..hahahaha) ..I will change the DVD to Baby Brainy @ Baby Einstein & she love it too! (But GOGO is her 1st love!) Hhehhee..

hi geniusqarrisa,

ur story make me feels excited.i'm feel happy for u.where actually can i find GOGO Education Set or Baby Brainy dvd..

[geniusqarissa]

Hi Qidshi Mum,

U can call me Watie..hehehe.I bought the GOGO Education Set when Qarissa is 7 months old in my womb.Hhehehhe..(excited terlebey sudah...hahhha ) ..I bought it during International Book Fare. It's a very interesting program, full set of education program from 0-10 years kot (if i'm not mistaken) & come together with talking pen but the price quite expensive compared with LR. U can read my stories  about this @ Qarissa's blog - http://geniusqarissa.blogspot.com/2009/04/teknik-menjadikan-anak-anda-genius-part.html. If u want to have a look at it, u can call the PIC. I bought it from her  - Michelle Lim 0163238243. Just inform her that u get her number from Watie.

About the Baby Brainy & Baby Einstein, I bought it @ Bali during our vacation. But dont worry, u can get the Baby Einstein @ JUSCO or any other big supermarket, Just ask for the Baby Einstein DVD @ VCD. I think now they have 20% Discount.As for Baby Brainy, i've never seen it yet @ M'sia.

I've download few free program from this web yesterday. My dotter love it! U can read my comment here - http://forum.brillkids.com/little-reader/unique-benefits-of-little-reader/msg32881/?topicseen#new. Rasa mcm nak beli...tergoda lah ..hahha...

Definitely check out Shichida!

I'd certainly enroll Felicity there if I were there!

There's a lot of discussion about Shichida on this Forum - check out the Early Learning board or just search for "Shichida".

I want to share what that I heard from my boss regarding to shichida.He have 2 kids and both of them is 2years old and 3 years old.He had sent them to shichida school and he is so happy of what that they had do.The method that they teach at this school is so wonderful and really brilliant. Beside of reading,math,singing,listen to a song,music,phonics,and different type of voices,the major thing is each week they would have an exam.In this exam, the teacher will showed 50 flashcard and the kids have to remember as much as they can.So,if each week is 50 cards,so total for a month is 200 cards.

The question from me to my boss is,don't you think 200 cards for a month is too extreme?And as I know is we should not test our kids.He confidently said no,and he explain that the reason they do exam is not try to test the kids but to know how much vocabulary they capable to get/accept in some period.Beside,the baby,children did not have anything else to think,their mind are fresh,so they just remember the learning, did not have to think the world problem.
Further more he said if we use this method now,(kids is 1,2 or 3 years old,)when they are in school we don't have to worry to much about their learning,because they are used to it.
I'm in planning to sent my kids there,will updated and share the experience and information about shichida or any others early education institute in Malaysia soon.

Glad to share,
Qisdhi mom.

Hi Qidshi Mum,

Tq for sharing ..i agree with u that the baby dont like us to test them ..my dotter also hate it..but when we change the technique from "test" to "play", the baby will love it coz they tot its a game & not a test! heheh.. i did it to Qarissa & it works!

BTW, i've done searching about SM in Malaysia, all the info & fees related. u can click my blog here ..

http://geniusqarissa.blogspot.com/2009/06/shichida-method-berbaloikah.html

but to tell u the truth ..the queue is very very very long ...hmmm...

[ladydragon7]

Hi,

Qidshi Mum & geniusqarissa  It's quite interesting to read through all ur infos. Well I have called up the Shichida school in Damansara Utama and guess what I have to be on the waiting list to enrol her in the class. which is for next year!!!!!( 2010) BELIEVE IT?!?!

No matter which center you send your child just make sure they have experienced and qualified teachers teaching in that center. Even if the program is good but if the teachers don't know the right method of teaching than it's no use. I,as a kindy teacher, for the past 12 years know the importance of teachers in a center.

If you want original brainy dvd for a cheaper price go to Lowyat Plaza. I got a few from there and its good.You can also get the Baby Einstein cd and dvd there.
