將軍澳翠茵/綠茵邊間好

monmantong

I visited both Greenville and Greenfield last Sat,
actually the details of the courses, fee, are same.
The environment of both are so far so good,
one of the teacher in Greenville explained to me
if you can send your baby to PN international, means
that the teacher is speaking English, and baby will have interests in learning English.
actually i think it is not too bad, as it is closed to
my home, and meet one of my requirement. but concern that some of the native speakers are not 100% foreigners,
and some of them are indian, some of them are Chinese
born in Canada, speaking English. ...

also, i meet my cousin( teacher of kindergarten), and she
still thinks both greenville and Greenfield are not good,
as it is founded by her previous boss, and under her
management, the incentive is low and a bit in a mess,
but it seems that i don't have other choices.

also i also clarify with her about Deborah, she said
the one which fried all the high salary teachers and hired
low salary teachers is located in Hung hom, but concern
they are in same management. .

by the way, still think it is too expensive of above
English kndergarten..

which branch u found that the teacher is not very patient? La cite noble or metro city?

monmantong,
Will u consider Deborah? where did u live?

Hi! Yi,

i am living near Hang Hau, so i don't mind considering  
Deborah in Po Ying. However, i heard from people a lot
of negative comments on that :

1) some people said it is very commercial, concern if
   the teachers do not care babies much.
2) recently fried the higher salary teachers in
   hung hum Branch, and hired the cheaper salary teachers.

also, my friend ( kindergarten teacher)said some
kindergarten provides very poor meals for babies, eg:
buy a big pot of red bean sweat soup ($ 10.00 only) for
whole kindergarten, and it is very watery.
so how can i know this from only the visit of the kindergarten?

Hi, I just withdraw my daughter's placement from Beverly Garden Deborah as the staff and one of the head teacher there are not very nice.  How can they be nice to babies if you can't feel they have 愛心.

So I'm considering Greenville, but don't know if I should go Metro City or 新寶城 as both are similar distance from my home.  Any comment?

My baby is going to be 2 in Oct 04 and I want to enroll international class.

Thank you for your comment.

Yes, after the experience I had with the Head Teacher in Deborah, I really think that it is very important to talk to the person in charge of the classes to make sure they are nice people with 愛心and babies must be their priority in formulating strategy for the school.

I will visit the school this Sat, let you know my comment then.

I went to the school 2 times and the feeling so far is satisfactory.  The staff there can answer my questions and queries effectively, unlike Deborah.

Deborah International Play School - total $847

School Bag $142
Birthday Bag  $55                                       
Cup & Towel Box $48
Text books & Parents' reference books $206
Summer dress $162
Sports $116
Cardigan $118

Greenville - total $541

School Bag  $90
Birthday Bag  $30
Cup & Towel Box  $40
Summer dress $136
Sports $120
Cardigan $125

Monthly school fee is the same for both schools - $2900

Klnbay,

I have submitted the application for
PN next year in Greenville,
I have once again asked the headmaster
some questions on that day, and it seems
that she is fine, at least no commercial
feel.

when will your baby start? this month?

Hi monmantong

Thank you for your advice.

It is quite difficult to choose between 綠茵 and 富康德寶.  Please advise me which primary schools the graduates will further study.

monmantong

Jowy,

I don't know which primary schools will the
children from Deborah study, but when i visited
Greenville, there is a board to show where the
children will go, as per my memory, they also
entered into some famous primary schools in
KLn Tong. But actually there is no relationship
between the kindergarten with the primary,
as it is no need to put the kindergarten name
in the Primary school's application form.

Between these two kindergartens, i choose
Greenville, because of the flwg reasons,
but please note it is only the info as i
know, may be Deborah is good also>

1. It is heard that Deborah has fired
    some higher salary teachers and hired
    and low salary teachers in Hung HOm
    branch. so the quality of the teachers
   are not good .

2. from this topic, a BK mom has withdrawn
   the study from Deborah, because of the
   hygiene problem and the teacher is not
   kind to children.


3. the location of Greenville for me is
    better.

4. also, a BK mom said the snacks provided
    by Deborah always are biscuits, not
    congee, or noodles.

5. heard from my friend( Professional),
    the teachers from this kindergarten
    do not have enough " kindness " .

  actually, i am not sure if Greenville
  also has some negative comments actually,
  but as far as i know from other BK mom
  here, they said it is fine.
  if i have more other choices in T.K.O
  that meet my requirement, i may choose others.

Hi

回想舊年為囝囝搵學校，也同樣有大家的煩惱加憂慮，亞甲話A學校好，亞乙又話B學校好..........，實在難以決擇。我揀o左德寶同綠茵面試；最後，我選擇o左綠茵 ，(雖然綠茵 係將軍澳o既名氣低過德寶，但個人認為德寶太過商業化，比綠茵還要厲害)，囝囝而家讀K2，讀得鬼o甘開心。至於課程方面：K1大致跟其他幼稚園一樣，學學玩玩的過了一年(可能係活動式教學o既關係)；到了今年K2，功課多了，多了普通話課程；學o既o野多了還深了許多(特別係英文課程)，跟九龍塘d名校差不多 (因為我個女係kentville畢業)。佢地對小朋友o既評價好公平，唔會刻意討好妳，話小朋友點叻點醒.......，呢樣係我想要o既o野。學校同家長接觸o既渠道亦相當足夠，足以令妳了解到小朋友係學校裡面o既情況。況且，佢地今年剛換了校長，今年的一個比起上年的更有經驗，只希望佢o既理念有助小朋友既發展。
