Trial class at BJG

Went for Baby Jumper Gym trial class started at 5pm. This Gym is located at Bukit Batok West which took only 10 min of car ride. I got to know this Gym through my friend Siew Choo who has signed up a similar class for her son.

Mommy and Kaikai “go to school” together. Initially Kaikai was very apprehensive, ultimately this was his first contact with so many little ones (another 5 kids). He clung on to mommy so mommy let Kaikai sat on her lap, encouraged him to participate. After 45 mins of warming up, Kaikai was no longer worry, he started to sit on his own, read with teacher and stand up on his own. Kaikai walked to collect/return kits/things from his teacher independently. Just like another children, he would carry his own stool and return it after using.

He would say “thank you 谢谢” to teacher and smile happily when teacher say thank you to him.

One little cute thing Kaikai did and mommy wanna dropped down. When Mommy stood up, Kaikai thought we were leaving and mommy forgot to take her handbag and his water bottle, so he dragged mommy’s heavy bag and his bottle saying “mommy take, 拿”. Wow, this little boy really take care of mommy.

Ultimately, mommy was pleased with the session. This BJY focus on developing children’s right brain, they used a lot of flashcards, some music and movements (with couplets/phrases on flash cards), a bit on science, nursery rhymes etc. They told me they would focus on two languages. But their fees was more on the high side… timing is also another issue that mommy need to consider before signing Kaikai up.
