你哋既囝囡番緊邊間幼兒園~覺得好既請指教！

cherly,

very welcome to share my experience with another mother.

yes both are boys (1 is 38 mths and 1 is 18 mths).  my elder son is now studying at kentville and studied at fulful (discovery park) for nursery.  well i found he enjoyed his nursery at fulful.  actually, their way and materials to be taught are good.

i plan to send my little baby to one of my nursery choices next year (as my previous messages to u).  but since they carry difference characters, so i am not sure whether to send my little one to kentville for k1 also or not.

Hi aumom,
你大仔已讀緊kentville，你覺得有乜不足令你猶疑比唔比細仔讀呢？

cherly,

my elder son is more quiet, stable and not quite talkative so kentville fits him.  definitely kentville is a good traditional kinder and the graduates are no doubt polite and obey.  but my little baby is very active and always walks around, so i am afraid traditional school may not be suitable to him.

whats about u?  any ideal kinders for your son?

Hi aumom,

I have two daughters with age difference similar to your two sons.  They are 14 months apart.  I am planning to send my elder girl to nursery but am a bit worry about her catching a cold etc... from school and then passing it onto her little sister who has not reached the 12 months milestone.  

Could you share your experience with me?  My husband is keen to send our elder girl to nursery since he thinks that she will learn a lot more from school and become more polite (my elder girl has a bit of a temper).

hi fayefaye,

wow u must have hard time for carrying 2 little babies at their early ages.  u work or a full-time mother?  i agree with yr husband to send one to nursery if u work.  definitely they learn more than staying at home cuz they also learn how to cope with other children and adults (teachers/amahs).  thats what i found from my elder son since he studied nursery.  all these help him to enrol for k1.

yes, my younger son is sick since he is several months old (my elder needs to see dr when he is 1 yr old).  so this is definitely the disadvantage for sending one to school.  even now, sometimes my elder son gets cold/cough from school (i guess).  

so this is really a tough choice for u.  maybe u can think on this way: after get recovered from one time of being sickness, yr daughter will carry a new protection.  good to let them touching other bacteria.

aumom,

我囝囝同你囝囝都係咁活躍 ~ 一日24小時不停 勁”旭” ，我哋真係要一同尋找先得啦，單從地點近為原則，我有諗過九龍禮賢 ，但之前冇諗適合性格呢個問題，所以未知邊間較活動，你有冇 ideal？

Hi aumom,

Thanks for your reply.  I quit my job ever since I was pregnant with my younger girl.  I have a good phil. maid and she always assures me that she can take good care of my two kids so I can go back to work. But honestly, even as their own mother, I don't think I alone can provide the best care to my two kids if I had to handle all the housework all at once.  But I hope I can go back to work when they start kinder.   Are you a working mum??

When I was pregnant with my younger girl, everybody keeps saying "don't worry, next time you will have better luck with a boy", though I never said I wanted a boy.  Did this happen to you? But I guess not so much since the Chinese thinking is that it doesn't matter how many boys you have as long as you have a boy.  

To me, I am just happy with TWO, no matter boy or girl.  :

morning fayefaye,

i work in a family business co so i can leave at anytime (of course i have to finish my work first).  so i always keep good relationship with my sons (i contribute most of my time to them).  besides, i have 2 maids to take care of them when i m in office.  so i always say i am a very lucky mom.  

no doubt that one maid cannot handle such 2 small girls in additional to the basic housework.  but on the other hand, i strongly suggest as a mother, better to keep working (eg. keep our minds turning and touching with the outside).  well its a tough question for a mother - work or not?

its prefect your second baby is a girl cuz 2 babies with such a small age difference make them having same gender characters and preferences.  for me, i m happy my second one is a boy also.  now they always play together and are very friendly to each other.  haha!  yes it seems i am safe i have a boy already according to the traditional thinking.  but i always think you cant choice the baby is a female or male as long as it is yours.

aumom

cherly,

haha your son is quite energetic.  i guess my son is not as active as yours.  let him watching vcd (he loves pingu) or cartoon is one of my way to calm him down.  it works!  

about kinders, hk preschool/kln tong creative/cannan are my choices.  whats about u?

aumom,

我幫囝囝 n1 班 申請咗 白田救世軍 & 大坑東幼兒園 ，我會觀察一吓會否讓他讀到n4不轉幼稚園(有D人話幼兒園教出嚟都可以好好，加上大坑東好有口睥)，下年照會去考幼稚園如果考到心儀的才決定，我心水 KG 係培正 、九龍禮賢，but 培正要後年06年才可申請，因它不收細仔的。你可否分享吓樂基好嗎？
另我昨天收到白田救世軍的明早面試通知。

我b仔兩歲多，仲未識講說話，現在他返九龍塘培恩全日幼兒班，希望他可快些學講話。老師和嬸嬸都好有愛心，經常打電話告訴我bb在校內的情況，因為他還未識得向我表達。這間學校有外藉英文和北京普通話老師。校內清潔衛生也令人滿意。學校勝在班數小，老師可照顧細bb。

cherly

Hi Montc,

咁請問係咪 n1 已經開始上有外藉英文和北京普通話老師教既課堂？另幾點放學？
你會比囝囝係度至n4 or 其他打算？

cherly,

hk preschool is a new school (established in 2003), and the environment is clean and tidy.  with foreign teachers and international classes.  actually i dont know too much about this school.  maybe u can go there and ask for a look.

Hi aumom,

Thank you! I will get more information of this school before go to visit.

n班已有英文和普通話老師教，英文老師來自加拿大/澳洲(記不起)，但肯定不是印巴籍的。我認為即使bb還未識說話，也應讓他聽較口音較純正的英文老師，因聽力訓練也很重要。

上課時間為上午9時至下午4時半。但最早可於早上8時半回校，最遅可於下午6時接放學。

momtc,

Thanks for your information. I will consider this school and contact them get more info.
