Re: Step ahead language centre

My son also joined Step Ahead playgroup when he is 2 years old.  He quitted when he attend full day nursery school at 2.5 years old.

Now I just enrolled an English learning group for him every Saturday (fun play & phonics), this group can only be join when the child is in K1.

Overall, I think Step Ahead is quite good.

Re: Step ahead language centre

Well, janetlo,

I live in Sham Tseng.  I don't go to famous nursery or kindergarten.   Just staying in Sham Tseng, 香港保護兒童會深井幼兒園.   

What I consider is the school fee, close to home and the environment is acceptable.  As most nursery is more or less the same, only those international or famous schools emphasis much more on acadamic subjects, which I am not quite concern as I will not apply for private or 直資小學.

If my financial is in acceptable condition, I will find one or two extra course for my son.  Like just now, I enrol for English class for my son, but maybe only for a short term as my huddy is now unemployed.   I am not sure when I will quit again.   

I believe that 家庭及道德教育 comes first.  Of course, if the child can have a better fundamental on English and others, his road to success may be more easy.    But, sometimes, parents are too much over worried. :wink:

Yup.  Most nursery in Tsuen Wan is full and has a waiting list.   St. Monica (聖文嘉)seems always has vacancy as the fee is quite expensive for full day, $3,800.   I like 邊耀良at 寶石大廈, too.  But, when I enrol last year, I am at 13 of the waiting list and I don't want to wait.   I think 邊耀良's waiting list is shorter.   保良局 also has a nursery in 麗城花園, seems the comments is ok.  The environment is fine as they can go out to the outdoor playground to have exercises, not much school has this.  The Salvation Army, you can forget about it if you are not on the waiting list now, as usually has to wait for 2 years. :

Janetlo,

Hello! Thanks for your reply. I just walked-in to step ahead language centre last week. The reception said the they open the centre for 6yrs and if I join their course, I need to pay 3mths fee for once, there is no refund if I drop the course. Is it true?  Will they teach letterland phonics? Pls give me some advised.

Thank you very much

Re: Step ahead language centre

Janetlo,

Well... some course paid in 3-months basis, some month by month.  I think the one you enrol is a 3-month basis course.

Sure, there is no refund.  You better check with the person in charge, I know they won't refund to you but if you have great reasons why you will miss a day or 2 and tell them in advance, they might postpone the lesson for you.   HOWEVER, you must be aware that only for special and acceptable reasons  that notified in advance and not too frequently.

I know they have a girl in the reception which she don't have the authority (or knowledge) to answer to these kinds of questions.  Ask for "Iris".

Yes, they teach Letterland phonics.

Re: Step ahead language centre

cwz01,

Which courses did u join??  My daughter is joining the 2 days playgroup.  Yes you have to pay three months in advance, and there is no refund.  Also if you miss class with advance notice, they also wont offer any made up class.  But this centre is good, my daughter joined since last september and they never change the teacher.  They do teach Letterland, but only the character, not really teaching the phonics, since they are still too young to learn phonics.  My daughter really enjoy going there.  She is more independent than before.
