19 Apr 2008 - Gymboree Trial Class

Through the Singapore Motherhood Forum, someone had organized a Gymboree Trial Class and we registered Jerlene for it.

Some background: Gymboree is designed by child development experts, each of the seven levels focus on and support the specific developmental milestone a child is working on at his/her age--from sensory explorations for young babies to cause and effect, two-way communication, "motor planning", imaginary play, to early listening and language skills. Each program level incorporates fundamental, engaging activities that help to build a child's cognitive, social and physical skills.

The class started at 1pm and we were late by about 10mins due to bad traffic. Oh yah, the venue is at Harbourfront. As Jerlene was sleeping throughout the journey and just woke up, she needs a longer time to get herself adapt to the environment. Initially, she just stand very still and watched other kids play. When I tried to walk away from her, she dun feel comfortable and started crying. So no choice I have to carry her for a while first.

Slowly, she started to get used to the environment but still, she dun looked very happy. I can only see her first smile when the class was about to end. Since she did not seem to enjoy the class, I did not sign her up for the actual classes.
