Advice needed

I’m considering of pulling out my 19 months from playgroup in a school and join mygym playgroup instead. Is this a good choice? My LO just entered the school 2 weeks ago but I can’t seem to align with the curriculum which the school provide.

Hey! Two weeks is still very early days, so I'd say don't rush the decision, but your instinct about curriculum fit is worth listening to. My Gym is quite different from a school playgroup in that it's much more movement and play-based, covering motor skills, social interaction and even some cognitive activities through structured free play, so if your LO thrives with that kind of learning, it could genuinely suit her better than a traditional classroom setup. My neighbour brought her toddler there around the same age and said the sessions felt engaging and age-appropriate, though she did note it leans more enrichment than academic, so it depends on what you're looking for at this stage. Honestly, both formats have their merits, school playgroup builds early classroom readiness while My Gym focuses more on physical and social development, so the real question is which gap you feel is more important to fill for your child right now. Since My Gym takes children from 19 months, I'd suggest going for a trial class first before committing either way.
