Thank you mienmien,
Your information have been very useful indeed.
Based on your advise, I will be submitting the the application form next week.
Unfortunately we will not be returning to HK until ...
Hi Twolovelyboys,
a/ mother duck class - my child is attending in july for the summer. They will still conduct this mother duck class (which is actually a playgroup ) after July in every season. Most probably I will let my son attend this pg until he enters the nursery officially by Nov this year if he likes the class. Do call up when you return and settled. You can always check on the september mother duck class if u cannot make it in august then.
b/ school fees - unfortunately, we do not have the exact fees yet but based on last year's information, the school fee was around $3500 / mth if I remembered correctly. They are waiting for the proposed increment figure to be approved. On top of that, there is still some misc fee which I cannot remember very well. You can always ask them.
c/ My child is going to the nursery - afternoon ( 2 year old class ).
d/ Apart from Boxhill, I did apply for Think International which my child was accepted for the am class but decided to choose Boxhill after much consideration. It really depends on what you want.
e/ I am not really sure what they learn in nursery but guess a 2 year old is not ready for kindergarten.
In HK, Kindergarten is a place for a child turning 2 yrs 8 mths old or 3 while nursery is a place for toddler turning 2.
To me, nursery is not a place for academic learning. I would see it as a place to learn thru play, practice their social skills, sharing and to learn some independency & discipline. Nursery is a place for them to get prepared for kindergarten.
Of course, some parents do not find the necessity of going to nursery concerning the hygiene among these little toddlers and the frequency of falling ill. It depends on what u want and what other environment u can provide other than nursery and your child's character.
My child simply likes to join in a group of kids.
f/ what do you mean by he cannot express himself? How well do you think a 2 year old can express himself? I cannot answer this question for you cos I have no idea on your expectation but I can share mine.
My child is 20mths now and I feel that he could express himself perfectly well based on his age. Of course, I don't expect him to speak sentences but at least I u/stand what he meant when he used single words or couplets.
My child has never sat still at playgroups since he turned 18m and could roam about independently. I have spoken to his teachers and also couple of my friends. My conclusion is, this is NORMAL for a 2 year old and esp. when we have boys! Their attention span is pathetically short which we have to u/stand and boys are generally more active.
Hope I have the answers you wanted. If not, do feel free to ask again or if you need to pm me, just go ahead. |
