my daughter will study K1 in 2010.  and she has interview lot of kindergarden, but most of the kg is on waiting list.  now st catherine (kowloon tong) and true light (casueway bay) has accepted her for afternoon class.  and ccc hk chi to church kei pok kindergarten (tseung kwan o) has accepted her for whole day class. we are living in tseung kwan o area.  i am headache how i can choice the best kg for my daughter.  

st. catherine is famous but expensive.  and some of my friend's children studies in said kg however they still need tutorial english after class in k2 & k3. and their chinese is not very good as well.  i worry that it might too many home work and pressure for kid.

true light has their primary school & secondary school.  heard from my friends, k1 to k3 is happy learning due to less home work and less pressure.  i.e. can not learn too much in kindergarden.  however, their primary school is lot of work for study.  i.e. stuffing lot of things in primary school.  happy learning this is what i want.  however, i also worry that it will difficult to go into another good/famous primary school.  also the location is quite far away.

kei pok kindergarden.  just know this kindergarden from aunt neighbour.  they said, the teacher is very kind and care the children.  i just know that this kg has a one native speaker + one mandarin speaker.  the kids will have 2 class daily to learn said language.  this kg is closed to my home.  do anyone know more about this kindergarden ? pls let me have your comments.

看來您真的很苦惱呢！讓我們一起想一想吧。

反而我想問一問，您覺得以下的項目有多重要？

1. 令孩子快樂成長 (?? / 10)
2. 重視培養品格 / 健康生活 (?? / 10)
3. 學校位置 (?? / 10)
4. 宗教信仰 (?? / 10)
5. 學習學術性知識 (?? / 10)
6. 學校名氣 (?? / 10)

(靜悄悄告訴您，以上的項目，我是按它們的重要性排列的 。小朋友的最大責任，是玩。到了小學，學校自然會教授很多學術性知識給小朋友。再者，您所選的3所學校，不會不教小朋友學術性知識吧。)

另外，您有沒有參觀過那3所幼稚園？囡囡要在幼稚園學習3年。用3天去參觀一下小朋友將來的學習場所，不過份吧。

如果沒去過看那些幼稚園，又怎知它們適不適合囡囡？如果不知道要看什麼，您可以在參觀時使用我製作的「實地參觀幼稚園：參考評估表」 (還有多少時間決定讓囡囡入讀那所學校？)。

最好可以帶小朋友一起去參觀，看看她喜歡那一所學校


(國際英文幼稚園的家長，可否分享一下您對國際英文幼稚園的看法，給那位家長參考一下？)

不用一定要進入學校參觀呀。在學校放學時，跟那些家長們談談天，已經可以得到很多實用的資訊了。試想想：她們將自己的子女放在那裡，對學校的了解，應該會深入一點吧！

再者，如果您看見很多很「醒目」的家長，也將自己的子女放在那學校，會不會令您安心很多？
