hi i think i can give u a full picture for both playgroups. i got your same offer last year for YC (am) and Kingston (pm)and also asked BK mum for the advise.
finally i chosen YC(am) in last year Aug but i switched to Kingstonin last year Dec, although is pm class, the scheule is not as good as am, i have no doubt for this change.
YC :
a) classroom small and crowded (too many helpers and parents ) in a very small room, you need to move the tables during snack time and art & craft time
b) Cantonese basic 95%, your case is same as me, i am a working mum and cantonese speaking in school, i prefer my daughter can learn / practise more english in the playgroup (even just 2 / 3 days)
Kingston
a) my daughter can speak mandarin 1-10 after 2 weeks from school, i never speak mandarin to her at home
b) teachers are very good and caring (YC are still fine, full of experience) but comparatively Kingston are better
c) spaces are larger
d) i also concerns the stairs when i turn down the offer for Kingston (as need to walk during the class), but overall is OK
e) the english teachers participation rate is 100% higher than YC, the english teacher in YC just "appear" during english circle time for 15-20 mins, others time the english teachers are disapperar.
Frankly speaking if compare the cost for both schools, i think Kingston is more "value" for money as you know the working mum always count on this.
By the way, i also visit anfield before i switch to Kingston, overall the campus is small / old and not the IB system, no mandarin teaching , i think for your plan to change to local school afterwards, learning mardain is important nowdays.
Last point to share, if you choose Kingston playgroup and N1 in the following year, you need to enroll their playgroup in Aug, otherwise like my case they could not offer any am class to me in N1 because they got total 64 students in the playgroup (both am and pm classes) but only 48 students for N1 am class, so the remaining playgroup students (16) will only offer pm class when entering in N1.
please free feel to pm me if u like to know more props and cons for both school |
