gymboree or kindermusik?

[darna88]

sis which do u prefer gymboree of kindermusik?  i have 1 yr and 6 months daughter and napansin ko medyo slow ang speech development nya ayaw ko naman sya kagad ipasok sa mga theraphy center or developmental pedia since hndi pa naman sya nag 2 year old..try ko muna sya eexpose sa mga ganitong skul..tenks so much

[hks]

my son will attend his 1st kindermusik class this july 
he is 9mos 

[grumpybear]

how can you tell na slow ang speech development nya?
My son did not really start talking until he was around 2 and he carries conversations really well now.
Anyway, to answer the question, we started with Kindermusik when he was around 17 months and tumbling gym when he was 30mos.
I'm not sure kung ano ang gymboree sa atin but the reason I started with Kindermusik was because I felt he'd benefit more out of it at that age because it was appropriate for where he was at. The tumbling gym is a more physical atmosphere, requiring a much later development of gross motor skills.

my daughter is currently taking gymboree now. before she took kindermusik. i feel kindermusik is more value for money. more structured than gymboree. plus in kindermusik they have take-home materials.

sis grumpy bear kasi 1 year 4 months na sya pero hndi pa sya nakakatawag ng mama ppapa intentionally,.,,pero nakakapagsalita naman sya ng ganun unintentionally nga lang.,.do u think its normal pa at her age? hehe paparanoid kasi ako kakabasa sa internet eh....nag bbubble naman sya  misan nakakapagsalita ng words na di ko naman ma gets  ..tapos she can point out naman when we say where' the light, where'e the electric fab, where's aircon...kasi nabasa ko sa milestone at least 3 words na daw nasasabi pagka 17 months eh...

.hks-..yep nainquire nga ako sa kindermusik and plan ko din this july =) san brranch ka ?ako kasi baka yun sa cubao or yun sa sta. catalina, quezon city,,,

oo nga how will you know if the baby is not developing her speech well?

my daughter is 15months old at wala naman akong problema sa kanya. bulol sya oo. she was asked to say "barbie" pointing at barbie on another child's dress and she say, "ah-bi" at same ang tone. normal lang naman yun di ba? i think pag 24months plus na at wala pa talaga syang nasasabi dun na magalala.

i am considering gymboree for her though to enhance her social skills. by next month.

[miss-chievous]

may i know how much would you pay for gymboree classes? nasa website kase nila is membership fee lang eh. tia 

[hunny_ally]

^it depends on how long the classes you'll get. 4 weeks class (meaning 4 sessions) is Php3200. It gets cheaper if you get more sessions, example if you enroll for 8 weeks, it's Php5.8k

kindermusik naman is almost Php9k for 15 sessions

[pinkpotato]

i opted gymboree kasi cheaper sya sa playgroup dito. 12 sessions sa playgroup is 580 Sgd = P18560. check ko nga kindermusik.

[hunny_ally]

^so expensive talaga in SG haps. ang laki ng difference

[pinkpotato]

oo als. pero nag close ang isang gymboree dito. 2 na lang branches nila.

hi this is the fees sa kindermusik Sg. parehas lang ba?

i prefer kindermusik than gymboree..
my daughter only goes to gymboree for playtime..

[hunny_ally]

^^is the registration fee similar to the membership fee? here kasi there's a one-time membership fee. gymboree here, no materials included. let me know how their curriculum is, if magkakaiba ba per country? magandang bonding time ninyong tatlo yan (daddy, mommy and heshey)

one rant lang pala about gymboree, napapagastos ako every after class bec of the toys displayed at the lobby. lalo na if my daughter enjoyed a particular toy/instrument introduced during class. naku, patay na naman wallet ko!

[pinkpotato]

yes als, same lang sila. one time registration fee sya. i'll ask about the curr. actually dapat nung sunday may trial class sila at 25 Sgd. we have prescheduled activity na kaya postponed muna. tapos weekdays ang regular classes nila, we can't be with her. si yaya ang sasama, ayoko naman nun di ba?

rant ko lang sa gymboree, layo samen. 45mins na byahe. at ang rant mo, baka di ko pa msyadong mafefeel. hehe.

[hks]

hi sis darna sorry for my late reply. sa cubao branch kmi, someone told me the best daw si teacher jeannie and sa cubao siya . madaming branches sila sis, paki google nalang

[hunny_ally]

^^aysa, in our area nearest is in tumbletots in libis but it's not teacher jeannie who teaches the class. if you want her, she conducts classes at regalia park in cubao cor edsa
