ogosdream 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2009 actually parent can do it together with the baby at home start with the flash card method. here is the website where u can get lots of information and download flash card.www.brillbaby.comi think is alot cheaper to do it on our own.

Icy Ice 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2009 Yes, my friend did tell me that there is RM100 per class. and one of the parents have to be along with their baby.The class is always full. She went for it when her baby was 3months old but they only have place for her when the baby is 9months old.august8, are you planning go for Shichida?Thanks ogosdream for sharing. Recently, I'm searching where to buy these flash card for my baby.Good to have a website to guide. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
august8 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2009 hi IcyIce,Yup hubby is very keen so did call up and asked lo. Apparently the classes are really full but now they have a branch in BU Centre Point as well so not tat bad i guess. We came across this class from a fren as well, she sends her twins there and the results are quiet good i must say. 1 year old can pronounce words very well and clear. The infos that i got from the centre are:1) RM 1,050 weekdays - Thursday -Friday2) RM 1,200 weekends - Sat -Sun*once a week (1 hr 15 mins) - 1 hour for class and 15 mins for assessment wit parents.I heard there is an annual fee of RM 100 as well and parents or mom/dad have to enroll for the class as well ( i guess this is to get the parents to be prepared to teach the bb at home, the teaching methods and all). The fee for either mom/dad is RM 295 or both mommy & daddy is RM 495. However, this fee is refundable wen ur bb completed up to 4 semesters. Hope the info helps Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meiya 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2009 i gone through the brillkids website and learned that they have a programme called ''Little Reader'' & ''Little Math''.. which u can download the software to ur pc and let ur baby to watch it. 15mins per session, twice session a day. they have a free trial now for 14days. For parents who interested might download the programme and try it out. (but after free trial, if u r interested then u have to pay , furhter details abt charges can check from their website).This programmes are same like SM, GD, etc. for right brain training. And i think is more suitable for SAHM coz can learn with baby at home. and the cost is cheaper than SM. Btw, i just download it and let see after 14days. :p Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
