Any Comments on HK Preschool at Fotan and Wellborne at Fu On? Urgent!

I find it difficult to choose a nursery for my 2-year-old girl. Preschool at Fotan has accepted her to study the Anglo-Chinese class in the coming Sept, but I hope she can study in the International class, as the Int. class for the coming Sept is already full, her name is on the waiting list. She is also accepted by Wellborne at Fu On (which is an Int. class), but I  have heard a lot of bad comments about the school recently. Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Hi,SYMAMI3,
我有一個一歲仔仔,想比佢讀雙語國際學校,讓他學好英文及普通話,現正考慮比佢讀九龍塘pre-school/九龍塘朗思國際.亦打算為佢報讀朗思國際的playgroup.但對pre-school所知較少.想搜集多些資料才作出決定.

我有以下問題,希望妳能為我解答:
1.請問pre-school有沒有playground比1歲小朋友,有沒有幼兒班(2歲)?
2.是否一個外籍老師及一個普通話老師同時上課?師生比例如何?
3.有沒有聯繫或直屬小學/中學?
4.學費多少?
5.功課壓力大嗎?小朋友讀得開心嗎?

Think International與pre-school,點楝好?
Many Many Thanks!

Is she happy? Are the teachers nice? Do you think the children can really learn something. My daughter is quite troublesome, she cries a lot, so I want to give her a good start, so that she will not be afraid of school. The principal said the Anglo-Chinese class is more or less the same as the International class, except Putonghua. Thanks!

Dear Both,

My opinion is there is no best or worst Kinder, it just depend on what you want and whether it suits you.  I don't have deep understanding on other kinders, however I am happy to share my comments and experience in HKPS.

1.        Yes, HKPS has 2 yr old class
2.        Yes, they have Int’l or Local class, each class has a full time English or Chinese tutor.  In int’l class Chinese is Mandarin in local class Chinese is Cantonese but they still have mandarin lesson for local class. For the part of English, it is same in both int’l or local class.
3.        They don't have Primary nor Secondary
4.        I believe for nursery, there is no homework even for K1, my daughter at KI only has one tracing exercise at the weekend for the first semester. Starting from the second semester, there is homework each day and more in the weekend.  However whether you feel work home is pressure or pleasure depends on how your attitude is.  For me, I concern only if my daughter has correct attitude on doing home, correct gesture, interested on doing home. We do have difficult time when my daughter start to learn writing, so I hold my daughter hand and tell her that there is magic on my hand. She finds it funny and then she has more confidence to do. We finish one page homework in 10 minutes. With a few months, she can write by herself and always get a well done sticker from the teacher.  So what I try to say is, Yes, HKPS has quite a no of homework from 2nd Semester, but you will have fun if you know how to deal with a kid.
5.        There is a web site, you can find more information there http://www.hkpreschool.edu.hk/
6.        Yes, my daughter is happy to go to school. She becomes much more attractive.  The teacher is nice.
7.        I never check if my daughter learns something. After all they are only small kids.  I concern only if she is happy to go to school. I seldom follow up her school work. But she always gives me surprise, like she can recognize the words Ant, Cat, Boy, Car…… For sure she learns all these from school.

My son is also studying at Fotan HKPS International class playground.  Yes, there has been no homework so far but they encourage reading.  At end of each week, they distribute a Chinese and English reader for the kids to read at home.  The teachers will read the books with the kids in the middle of the following week to see how well they go.  The kids are not expected to recognize words, but to express themselves based on pictures in the books.   My son enjoys reading so far.

Concerning the choice of mainstream or international class, my personal opinion is that it is good to let them expose to more languages as long as the kids can handle.  Some parents worry that the kids may get confused with multiple languages (Cantonese, Mandarin and English).  Yes, occasionally my son will use Mandarin vocabularies in his daily conversation with us but when we tell him the corresponding Cantonese, he can easily pick it up.   In fact, he knows when to use Mandarin and English (e.g. in front of non Cantonese speakers), although his vocabularies may not be rich enough to communicate in full sentence.  Time will tell.
