35 mins is not too bad! I am taking my daughter to Kowloon Tong for playgroup every Sat now. The journey take about the same. My concern is more the English enviroment. Is HB provide a good english en ...

bear in mind 35 mins is for pm class, someone told me they need to go downstairs from bellagio to Hampton LH by 8:15. not sure if students talk to each other in English or not, but there's a NET in each class throughout the 3 hours school time. of course you can't really compare it with the international school's students. if you prefer whole English environment, you can consider ESF at TY but then no chinese...

you can try Yew Chung or Woodland, but YC has local and international stream, you need to check if they have international stream for pre-nusery. and don't stay there for k if you plan to go for IS as my friends told me they are 英唔夠英, 中又唔夠中.

Hi elmolly, I'm a Sham Tseng mama too. Can you tell me more about PIPS? I applied simply because of the distance, is it really bad?  Thanks!

some of the neighbours let their kids going to PIPS, they told me the teachers can't handle all the crying kids when they first join the school, so end up some kids went out of the classroom but they didn't notice. one of my neighbour's boy get hurt, the whole pat pat is 瘀晒, the teachers didn't know too. another girl kept asking for mammy, then the teachers lied to her if she wore the school bag, her mom would come soon, so she was wearing the school bag throughout all 3 hours school time for almost a month's time. the parents have requested the school to provide soap for the kids to wash hands after toileting, but the principal told them the school is clean enough and the kids won't touch the toilet seat so there's no need to provide soap

just these 2 incidents is scaring enough to me so I didn't pay deposit.

It sounds really scary in PIPS.  So why not Luk Yeung? What about Baptist?  I heard TW mamas like to apply this one.

Luk Yeung's management is making all existing K3 students to pm class in order to free more classroom for pn class (which the school fee is more expensive), their vice principal even replied on bk and made some very bad comments on a mother particularly, personally can't agree with any school acting like this, you can take a look

batpist doens't have pn class, you can apply for k1.

Thx for sharing. I'll definitely stay away from this kinder.  It's really difficult to choose a decent school.  Another problem is my daughter was bornt in Oct 08, I guess she is unlikely to be enrolled in Sep 2010 and the chance of 插班 is always rare.

Anyone know any school bus service to Kowloon Tong?

YC will not be my choice for definately because as I said I am looking pure English enviroment for my daughter PN. Therefore, I will not conisder YC. If Iconsider YC, I will definately consider LH at Olympic indeed.

Worst to the worst...I think I will let my daughter stay back at Anfield for her PN. She is doing her playgroup there since she was 1 year old. Both me and my husband are happy with her progress and the most important thing is she is so happy in that school.
