Is there any kid going to 2 kindergartens now?

TYma

What I want to ask is about a kid studying at 2 different schools.  

Due to I have to work and no helper, I must to arrange a full-day course for my daughter.  Once she is accepted to enter anyone of traditional schools, I consider to let her in (because considering to connect primary school).  But all of those schools are only provide half-day course.  So, I consider to let her go for another PM course in a international school.

I need get more comments if any mom has such experience.

1. How do you arrange the time for kid's lunch and traffic?  Will a kid be getting tense and tired if do that?
2. Have you met any problem?  too many homework?
3. Is there any international school provide full-day N1 class?  Which I searched is for 4years old above(YMCA).

My daughter is 2.10y and now is studying at a normal nursery school.  

Thanks a lot.

TYma,

I am not sure if this can be any of your help, but Deborah International school in Hung Hom is running a full day course. I remember, if you want, kids can actually stay at school until 4 pm or 6 pm depending on the course. I know they have a school in Tseung Kwan O, too. You may take a look at their site : http://www.deborah-intl.edu.hk/gk2/home.html

The idea for your child to attend at 2 different schools, I have heard a little about it from others and it seems to need a lot of adjustment... And your child is still a bit young. I guess it would be better for you to find a full day school so that she can take a nap at school to keep herself going for a day.

Hope you'll find a good one for you two.

Hi Tyma,

I don't think going to 2 different kindergarten will make everything 2 times better.   Many of the stuff they learnt will be duplicated anyway.   I think it would be more sensible to send your child to a full day school.  As far as I know, Think International has Chinese and International classes.  I actually know someone who sent their kids to Chinese in the morning and International in the afternoon.   This will save you the travelling time and costs.

I also know a girl who used to go to 2 kindergartens.  This girl ended up in Good Hope.  I really don't think that this will help.   If it does, she would make it to more famous primary school like DGS....

Rgds,

Tyma,

You can consider applying Think International School (they have 4 branches in different regions). They have full day starting since N1, half day Chinese, half day English (by Native English teachers), and they have 2 hours sleep after lunch, so it saves your travelling time, allow the small kid to sleep for 2 hours at school, and can learn both Chinese and English.  You can also pick up your kid later until 6 pm (not too sure about the exact time).

Thanks every moms's comments.
I think to go to 2 kindergartens is not a smart idea for my situation as I need to work and can not sure to take my daughter to another school at noon on time.

Anyway, I'll consider about it and arrange a better full-day kindergarten life for her. :wink:

Hi TYma,
我朋友個小朋友讀兩間讀足左三年, 佢個小朋友係兩間幼稚園(一間中文/一間英文) 都有非常優秀既表現, 入埋名小學喇....
有d小朋友真係唔肯午睡, 但晚上睡覺10-11小時就會全日活活潑潑架  如果佢唔鍾意留係屋企同賓賓玩,鍾意去學校同d外國小朋友玩下, 讀兩間都OK...　

小朋友要午睡就唔可以咁攪喇！

我的情況與你近似，我bb現在14個月，我諗住3歲比佢讀上+下（local+international)，我揀左蘇浙，佢同一校舍內有local同international school，而且學校可安排lunch，小朋友有需要可飯後有少少午睡
我都覺得自己要湊小朋友去第二間一定唔掂，大人同小朋友都會好辛苦！以我所知的國際校2歲都係返半日呀。
