My kid is now in Greenfield.  It's good since class size is small and there is 1 NET & 1 PTH teacher!  Also there is appropriate amount of homework!
You get Greenfield offer? AM or PM?

I see!
My kid just starts this month and the alphabet taught is now up to "I".  And he can also sing whole ABC song & sometimes PTH song!  So I'm quite satisfied with the teaching standard of the school!
But I have no idea in Funfun!  So can't give any advice on that!

Did you have interview in Greenfield very early or just recently?

好似係$5800, 好貴呀 !!

My daughter know ABC song before attend the school.  But according to the homework, it seems that the school want to have high standard. (otherwise how can they proof $5800 is worth to pay , the school fee is higher the LH)

I have checked my friend with BB study PN in TKO GF. They do not have homework at the moment.

But frankly speaking, it is a good kindergarten. Teachers are nice. They also have good communication with parents. You can known what your kids do in the school.

Not yet confirmed until Jun/Jul as they said!  
Yes, I think it's really expensive but to be frank, i think it worths that value.  The NET are all "golden hair", not Indian or ABC (I have no negative implication/discrimination on it).  And the class size is just 8-11 students.  Most important thing is there is no other misc. fee, other than uniform!  And their school fee payment is quite relax - no need to pay 1 month's advance payment as deposit and they won't urge you to pay like other schools which always remind u that late charge would be imposed!
But I agree it's expensive as it is similar to those kinder in Kln Tong with misc. fee added!

Agree with you!  Other than the school fee, I have no other complaint!
And maybe because it's a small school (4 am classes & 2 pm classes)  and so they can memorize all the students!

Yes, my boy also likes to go to school everyday and he sings the PTH songs and Eng. songs at home quite a lot.

Besides, I found my son has a big improvement on managing himself. I think the school has some trainings on table manner, toilet and also communicating to the others.

So I really appreciate what they did so far.

Hello Mums,
Do you know any bus service by Greenfield?
I got the PN(PM) offer, but really want to change to AM.
Thank you!

I know there is school bus service for am class only but not pm class!  Maybe they will have it in coming Sept but you better check with the school!

U can write to them to request for change of class so that they can put your request in record.

My daughter just finished her 4th day of school in GF and so far so good. Class size is 11 but have 2 net teachers. I kind of find the pth teachers are quite caring becos I saw her holding the other girls in her arms for a long time ( to comfort her) .

my baby girl has just been offered by Greenfield Long Beach for this coming Sept(PN AM class) My husband and I both really like the campus when we visited, but we completely forgot to ask how much the fee was...until I saw this pos.......seems to be more expensive than the others, well...this is the only choice we have...just let it be, as long as the baby is well taken care of there!

I am also struggling to continue or not. My girl got another am offer in KLT but class size are very big and not as much net as GF.also still hoping will got offer from other school. But if everything remain unchanged, very likely will continue as I happy with the teachers there+ the school is new so they treat all the students and parents as VIP.

golfmama

Smile_w99, I think our kids are in the same class right?

tam_bb

Is the playgroup good? How much $$ & how many hours per lesson? is it on Saturday morning? Oh sorry... too many questions...

applevonchu

Thank you smile_w99!
I called GF today, and they said the bus service is not yet confirmed. GF said only after the students enrolled and see the request, then they will negotiate with the bus company. The pick up points will usually be Tsing Yi, Tsuen Wan, and ?? (I forgot).

BTW, after seeing the above comments, I have more confidence to place my child there.  Thanks a lot!

Any moms studying at GF?  Let's share yr experience! : )
