Happy times at Heguru
After Georgia picked the right card during peg memory, she turned around with a proud smile on her face and walked straight….. into another parent’s arms. In her excitement, she had forgotten where her mummy was.
During the clairvoyance activity, children are supposed to “see” through the cards and pick the right one..
Teacher: Which is the yellow one?
Georgia: This one! (pointing at both cards)
Teacher: Pick only one.
Georgia: *peel open and look under the cards*
One of Lauren’s favourite! Getting out of the class and do some physical activities!
Enough about us. Let’s hear what other mums have to say about Heguru Education:
“There’s a series of activities with very fast pace. This is able to capture my child’s short attention span. The joy of attending Heguru classes is I’m able to watch my child’s growing moments and the little surprises when they get the answers when you least expect them” – Christine, mum to Adele (4 years old) and Kaysha (6 years old)
“The reason I keep coming back is because my son likes the classes. The activities are interesting enough to capture his attention.” – Tina, mum to King Xi (4 years old)
“I like the hands-on activities, guessing games, and the physical activities conducted each week.” – Melissa, mum to Jaeven (2 years old)
This is the fifth part of The New Age Parents and Heguru Education series. In the final part in next edition, find out how my daughters have progressed since starting the program a year ago. Stay tuned!

HELLO! I’M MICHELLE.
Find out more about me here.
Some of my friends have been sending their kids to Heguru. Some of them are happy while some of them found it not that great. I am still contemplating.
I have still not able to make up my mind for Heguru though heard so much about it. Once attended a session and found too fast for me.
I know what you mean. I found it too fast at my first session too. It seems that’s how the right brain is triggered as it is used to process information at a fast speed and that’s also how it captures the kids’ attention.
I think it is so cute that your daughter refers to herself as ‘Little Georgia’! Precious.
Sounds a little like Happy Train (but that one, must sit in your chair ALL.THE.TIME., so tough with boys!!), and a little bit like Sparkanauts. Aiya, I miss these toddler years and attending these toddler programmes!
Thanks for sharing…haven’t heard of them till I read this. Certainly seems very educational and developmental.
Sounds like a very comprehensive class! I have to agree that being able to attend class with the child is a precious experience. The joy of watching her grow and progress through the term.
LIke Pooja, I also wonder what’s the Science behind the fast pace of the activities? Just wondering out loud if it makes kids more stimulated and restless when the class doesn’t go as fast in other settings?
I wouldn’t think so. The right brain has the capacity to process information very quickly. The brain is like muscles; use it or you lose it. It is to prepare them for speed reading when they are older. Slower pace setting just meant that other parts of the brains would be at work more than the right brain. That’s my 2 cents. I’m no expert but it’s very interesting when you look more into how fascinating our brain works 🙂
I laughed when I saw the part when you thought your child was so smart and then she came back with an answer that made you do a face palm. My kid too! At first we thought he had got it, but after asking the third time, we realised that he didn’t actually get it and was just randomly guessing. I think that is what makes our children so cute!
Some parents I talked to find Right Brain Training as “just another type of enrichment”. I believe right brain training has its usefulness and I’m definitely looking forward to reading your next post on the Heguru program.
