which playgroup should I enroll? Something good to start off with?
it seems many choices... but I don't know how to choose
ITT, Tutor time, Arts Plus, Victoria, pods, bebegarten, little dalton??
Mine is attending My Gym (central) -- he likes it a lot. Long waiting list. We applied in Oct 2012 but wasn't able to get in until April 2013! They offer trial class though ($280 a class, need to book in advance).
It is a pure gym class - circle time, free play and teacher-initiated play, seperation time, clean up, story time and bye-bye song.
I think it worths paying a visit or attending trial class before you decide. And ask your frds about their experience.
We visited Tutor Times (Caine Road), Woodland (Caine Road) and another one in Causway Bay (forgot its name). Also tried Gymboree and My Gym before we decide.
Our frds recommend Tutor Times -- 1.5 hrs class, half English and half Chinese. Kids are happy. But personally I don't like it -- too many kids and the waiting area was small and in a mess. The teacher who showed us around was wearing high heel shoes while a few babies were crawling on the floor (not safe!)
Our frds like woodland too - but the classroom in Caine Road is very small.
We gave the one in Causeway Bay a pass directly after a trial class.
