My draughter studied in playgroup on last year. She is studying in Topkids now. As I know, they used some teachers and principle from 耀中. I will expect that the school will be better than before.
If your child is between 2.5 – 3.5, crying is normal at the beginning. From my feeling, 激活 teachers are very patient for the child. For my opinion, if your kid is studying, please use longer time (1 month) to observe the school. You can consider to change another school after 1 month observation.
On my situation, my draughter has been in Topkids for 3 weeks. I can’t see there is a story time or any Mandarin lesion for the kids. I also do not satisfy to Topkids. However, I will give the school more time and reflect my opinion to the school. That is very important to communicate to the school. Please be patient.
I sent her to Topkids becasuse she is taking international school in Topkids. My draughter's English is mainly learning from my maid and I.
My draughter is English speaker. She spoke 98% English and 2% Chinese. Now, she speaks 90% English and 10% Chines after joining Topkids. I am happy that she knows how to speak Chinese.
My child is young therefore, the main point for schooling is learning how to play with other kids, how to share and how to get good discipline.
