It works for her, at the beginning she didn't interest but now she is excited when i ask her to get her Kumon bag to study. Some times i make powerpoint about words, pictures and dots. she can count and say in order of number until 10 and letter A-Z. I observe that she can do these staffs probably because the repetition that we give to her everyday. If you want to make cards, it is good if you laminate so it can be used for years.

We are no longer in Indo, we are home in the States for a few months. Since my son is still a baby we haven't had any experience with this kind of thing, but I know in Surabaya a lot of people sent their kids to playgroup things. In Surabaya the popular one was called FasTrack Kids. There were several others as well, but I can't remember the names. They were similar to preschool classes and I think they started around 2 years old. I have no idea about cost or anything like that. I hope that helps. Courtney Hey,

Did I mention they love it? :D We don't allow the kids to use the computer much at all, but one thing they ask for is to use this site. It teaches English, German, French, and Spanish. There are games, skill building concerning colors, shapes, numbers, letters (upper and lower case), and it's very toddler appropriate. The only thing we needed was a kid sized mouse...which a laptop mouse works perfectly for. I'll keep my eyes open for activity ideas for your monkey. ;) Becky http://www.literacycenter.net/lessonview_en.htm
