Enrichment lessons

Recently we have enrolled Caden into I can Read centre after procastinating for almost a year. Caden has enjoyed the lessons since and been looking forward to his Tues night classes. This serves as a very good commitment on Mummy's end as she will be forced to leave the office by 530pm on Tues (hopefully can continue to work in long run).

Coincidently, we bumped into Caden's pre-school ex-classmate in one of the makeup class before CNY. The mummy was telling us that she had enrolled her son into IcanRead, CMA and chinese lessons back-to-back on 3 weekdays in a week. Mummy has been reading up on mental arithmetric sometime back. So her recommendation on the CMA centre came in just abt the right time. Furthermore, there is a centre set up around punggol central (at the MRT station) so distance is not too much of a prob in case my ah lou cannot rush back from work on time to pick Caden.

The fact that Caden has just improved much in his piano lessons lately has made us reconsider in stopping him from the music school.. if we enrol Caden in mental arithmetric lessons, then he will have 3 lessons a week and this includes homework arising from the enrichment lessons.

Before then, we have been wanting to let Caden enjoy his childhood as much as he can but when you start hearing and witnessing how others have not done so and suffered fall-back in the lessons conducted in their primary years. These caused us to begin to wonder if we should give our kids a headstart and tap onto his powerful brain cells before he turns 6.

so likely, we will start him with CMA centre soon or maybe after his 5th birthday in April, but this boy of ours has been urging us to bring him back for mental arithmetric lesson again next week after he has an experience in the trial lesson last Thurs!
