In a competitive society like Singapore’s, it’s common for parents to enrol their children in tuition classes to help them excel in their studies.
However, while it’s important to do well in school, it’s just as vital for kids to develop skills in other non-academic areas such as sports, music, and art.
One place where parents can find such courses is LessonPlan, an online marketplace for enrichment classes in Singapore.

Those who frequently scour through sites like Yelp and TripAdvisor before deciding to go somewhere would be glad to know that they can also read reviews from other parents to know whether a certain course is right for their kid.
Then, after you’ve made a decision, simply make payment online to secure the class and stamp it down in your calendar.
Parents who wish to keep up with their child’s classes may do so through LessonPlan’s attendance review system, which shows completed and upcoming lessons.
The instructors will be able to provide you with detailed reviews and feedback on your child’s progress as well.

Children often develop their interests and abilities through experiences. Some of them may even possess hidden talents that don’t show up until they’re exposed to them.
By introducing kids to new things at a young age, they’ll have more time to develop themselves in a certain hobby or skill, or at the very least, determine what they’re keen to explore further.
And besides, since it’s the school holidays, signing up for an enrichment class would be a good way to keep your child occupied in a fruitful way instead of letting them spend all day in front of the TV.
