Let's try to make some factors constant. Assume that the level of the KG is similar but one is the so-called famous KG the other are not so famous. Will the name of the KG matters?
I think it is not the no. of interest class / the cert recieved that makes the kids different. May be it is the exposure that matters. That's why people find that the kids from famous KG are more "smart"...
Sth that i would like to add is ... I think the English standard of those famous KG is high cos many students also join extra English lessons / having great support from parents / they speak English at home. As I said b4, the school plays some part, but parents play a more important role.

I think interest classes are helpful nowadays because:
- family size is small and such classes give opportunities for social activities
- working parents may not have a lot of time to play / teach the ...
If it's the case that both students are of similar level, then the name of the KG will also matter because it shows how much (money+effort) the parents are willing to pay. In Hong Kong, background and image are important. It's part of the culture and norm. IT 's Just my personal opinion and observation.

If that is the case then students at York, which probably charges the most fee and do most outside activities, should do very well.
No. The most expensive one is Braemar Hill Nursery. Their students usually can get into very good DSS and private schools, but I agree with twinsstar, parents probably play a more crucial role than the school.
Parents who can and willing to pay so much money for education, must be very concern of the kids' development. They would not solely rely on the school. And they are usually famous/influential/well-connected, or at least well educated, which are welcome by many primary schools, no matter which kg their kids attend.
