Hi all, it has been quite some time My Little Sprout stayed MIA from blogsphere(well, it still kinda inactive now). Wish everyone is doing well and have great holiday with your beautiful family!
Speaking of school holiday, most
modern moms might have scouting holiday programs for their little ones, perhaps to keep the kids occupied and create less headache for the in laws or caregiver. The other day, I'd came across
Contended Mom's blog and found her school offers some interesting Montessori classes and holiday program(only available in Singapore).
I would have sent my sprouts there if I stayed in Singapore or Johor, thus I'd like to share the detail of the classes here with my Singaporean and
Johorean friends, sorry for the other blog pals!
Words from
Contended Mom:
"Sadly, I feel that the younger generation may be displaying some signs of rigidity in their thought process, perhaps due to the education system in this region. They are trained to just focus on their exams and nothing else matters. In my view, they are definitely much less creative vis a vis our generation! We used to do a lot of fun activities during our earlier years! We played all day in the garden, we explored the world around us and sky was the limit, literally. We climbed trees, we engaged in cricket fighting games...etc etc
Hence, there is a need to break this trend of plain" paper-chase".
WorkPlayz Montessori can help our children achieve their fullest potential by providing them with a conducive and vibrant environment while they work at their respective pace.
WorkPlayz Montessori is a newly set up enrichment centre at Telok Blangah.
At WorkPlayz Montessori, the child works at his or her own optimum level – in a COZY environment where BEAUTY and ORDERLINESS are emphasized and appreciated. A spontaneous love of "WORK" is revealed as the child is given the freedom (within boundaries) to make her own choices.
Children's activity is referred to as "work" because it is believed that play is the important work of early childhood. Great value is placed on the children's activity by describing and treating them as work. With this in effect, a child's work becomes not only an effort a child makes or a process a child follows, but also an activity a child finds enjoyable, interesting and valuable in itself for that reason..
It is an ideal enrichment centre for parents who prefer a smaller playgroup which would minimise the risks of infection due to the general weaker immunity of the younger ones. "
