My son has joined Infinity Children's World for 11 months and now in wonderful two class. It is an "ideal" school for children's development and I am a super fan of Montessori. I was struggled whether I should let him continue his education here or send him outside. However, I will not choose international school for my son when he gets 6 and the competition for primary school is so keen nowadyas. Therefore, I will let him study in a traditional kindergarten in the coming Sep and will continue Montessori education after school. You should think about the type of primary school you will choose as this affects your choice of kindergarten.
One thing I think is also very important is that parents' involment is essential for student studying at ICW. If you like the ICW, I think you can also consider 浸幼 as I found that is a very good kg which is similar to ICW.
I don't think 浸幼 adopt Montessori. They adopt project approach so student need to think how to finish a project and cooperate with their classmates (personally I think quite like the approach adopted by University, you may refer to related post by other parents). Salvation Army is also good choice. But the Kg neary my home is for whole day only and I am on the very last of the waiting list, so I give up this choice. I think ICW is the consultant of them
Forget to say, I think Salvation Army must be more systematic and they are registered Kg. So they are more 有保証. But I like the environment of ICW esp the playground!
That's the information I know last year, you may double check with ICW if they have any mics. fees now. I have the same view with you before, but my sister share with me the workload and mode of teaching
of traditional primary which is not easy for a child who studies in a 活動教學 school to cope with. I am afraid that my son can't cope with that if he enjoys his life in ICW for 3 years...and one instructor reminds me that it will be better to choose a kg that is registered...so I gave up my mind finally...there's always dilemma.
Of course, the teachers in ICW are good and they are very creative.
thank you for your advice
其實你所講既我都有諗過, 不過我一直都係aim on呢類幼稚園, even 小學都係比佢入傳統小學, 身邊都有d好緊張既朋友成日都咁講, 但我本身又唔係話要佢入名校, 要佢第時名列前茅, 只求佢第時小學中規中矩年年升到班, 完埋中學而我仲有能力同佢肯的話, 就比佢去外國讀書, 所以對於呢九年免費教育, 我無咩大期望
