I want her to go for Ballet, Yamaha, Phonics, Swimming...but in the end, she is only willing to go for Gym classes.
Ballet class at Yishun Safra sort of made her fearful of going for classes alone. She is now scared of performing in front of others so when we went for Yamaha, it was so diffcult to get her to enjoy the lesson. She was so apprehensive throughout. But back at home, she sings and dances like nobody's business. I kind of regret trying to make her go for ballet alone back then. Biggest setback.
Well, she states clearly to us that she only wants to go for Gym class so we're going to wait till she's more ready before we sign her up for other classes.
2 colleagues (ex and present) introduced BagzGym to me. We have been to other playgyms but BagzGym is slightly different from those we went to. BagzGym is a gymnastics school which doesn't only cater to little children. They don't have music or a special theme every week. Basically, it is just basic gymnastics movements. You can start as early as 2.5 yo and parents can accompany them till they are ready to go alone.
During the 1-hr lesson, they do 10-15 mins warm up, after which they go through different stations before ending with the jumping on the trampoline and sometimes into the sponge pool.
The school on Level 2, same side as KidsAmaze
These are just some of the stuff they do during lessons...
Seriously if you ask me, what has T learn from BagzGym so far, I really cannot give a concrete answer. As an educator myself, I understand the importance of learning outcomes and often, we are eager to see immediate results. For now, I just love seeing her enjoying her lessons, so much so that we are willing to pay (not cheap) and travel (not near). She might not go on to become a gymnast but I believe the lessons will help in improving her movement and posture.
