好同意你個講法，所以我都係首選ｓｃ！

Dear All,
          I think the kindergarten life should be full of happiness and allow the kids to explore and learn by themselves. When your kids enter the primary schools, they don't have such honeymoon  time anymore.  Thus, my choice is SC.

Totally agree.
That's why i resigned last May and been a full time mom.
Anyway, my BB has been accepted by both SC and KV. My preference is SC. First, my BB is very shy and i don't want her " shy" character being enforced under KV disciplinary and mechanical approach. Second, being a full time mom, i do like to share her school life and activities during these three years. However, my hubby likes KV for its high academic level in all aspects. So i think i will pay reservation fee on both schools so to let me have much more time to consider. Every opinion from all of you is welcomed.

As being a full time mom of one child, I would like to share my experience.  Sorry, my daughter isn't studing in SC nor KV because I let my daughter chose from the list of schools accepted her and she didn't choose any of these two.

" First, my BB is very shy and i don't want her " shy" character being enforced under KV disciplinary and mechanical approach. "
I think you have preconception on this point.  Is there any chance that disciplinary and mechanical approach can enhance the kid's knowledge and, in turn, help in the self-confidence development of your kid ?

I understand that it is a great pleasure for a mother to share her kid's school life and activities.  But there may be a side effect that the kid will become very dependent.  On the other hand, you still have plenty of time with your daughter in the after-school activites.  

I am not suggesting that your choice of SC is not good.  I just want to suggest some point of view in other angles.

I believe both SC and KV are good.  The most important is which is the most suitable for the kid.  Every kid has his/her owned character and different kids like different type of kinder.  Do you talk to your daughter about her impression of these schools?  May be she can make the decision for you.  

I always remind myself, "Don't be too concentrate on what I think is the best for my kid, just ask her what she think and listen to the reason."  

As Ron said, the most important is the caring of the family.  I believe there will not be a big difference in graduated form either schools for your daughter because she has a caring mother.

p.s. I guessed you kid is a girl because you used the word "her".

Hi mhpoon,
其實三間都是很好的幼稚園, 看看你的要求是什麼, 我大仔以前是銅鑼灣那一間(總校), d人話那一間是最好, 而HMT是新校我不是很清楚, 我個人較喜歡VICTORIA是因為他們地方大又很衞生, 老師比例高所以照顧得D小朋友很好 (我只知銅鑼灣, 其他分校不知道) :

正煩惱選校.

撇開升小學, 名幼稚園(kv, sc) 畢業生程度是否跟"普通"幼稚園很不同呢?

Victoria -- $3xxx/mth

Hi各位家長：

大家好，有事想請教呀．請幫忙．

我小朋友好好彩, SC 同KV都收

小小bb

mabel_leung,
我個仔以前都同你個仔仔一樣, 但今年轉了去SC讀K3後變得非常活潑, ( 點解個仔可以變得咁好動) 可能是其他小朋友影響了他, 不過現在我又覺得他好似過份活潑

mabel_leung

小小bb

多謝你既回應，想請問下你小朋友之前是讀KV嗎？　為何K3先轉讀SC呢？

咁你覺得SC好d定係之前間好d呀？

唔該洒．

I think SC is good. But I want to ask ....is it 100% sure SC is full of happiness and allow the kids to explore and learn by themselves. I think none of kinder can sure that. The most important is the parents' love and care ... and how to support your kids.

Nobody can guarantee  that it must be happy to study in SC. Even the same issue and things, we'll have different feeling and opinions. For me, it may be good. But maybe for the others, it is not the same. For young kids, if the school can offer more opportunities for them to experience and try, this will stimulate their intrinsic motivation. Nowadays, many eduactors believe that the passive learning cannot motivate the kid's to learn. Thus, the new trend is 'learning to learn' according the ECR No.5. In conclusion,I couldn't say that every child in SC can learn by themselves. As I mentioned before, the family education is very important. The role of  the school is a facilitator. They help the kids to learn and create a lively and enjoyable environment for the children. The creative enviroment can really help the kids to learn. This is what I have observed on my son. I prefer the activity and theme approach instead of the mechanical training. It is true that when the kids promote to P.1, they don't have such happy time anymore. Whatever you agree with me or not, it's only my personal opinion.

mabel_leung,
我的小朋友之前讀sjc, 因為不想他讀全日的幼稚園才轉去sc, 到目前個仔讀得好開心, 但未太清楚他在學科上的學習情況, 而考小學都入了自己喜歡的, 其他同班的有人考到sfa, st. paul, 陳守仁及好多女仔入了德望....ect, 當然亦有一些家長是失望。有時我會想吓是自己個囝囝得還是sc得

mabel_leung,
我不太清楚會否迫佢用返右手, 我去看過他們的小朋友真是好有自信同自由。

仲想請問下，我囝係用左手的，SC老師會有方法教佢左手寫字嗎？會唔會迫佢用返右手呢？

唔該洒．
