Dear DeckerCarmen,

Any update? do they invite you for interview.

Orphee

any parents apply the full day class??

I'm still struggling with 2yr programme and K1. As I live in Tai Po, such far far away...I just worry it made me boy too tired for 2 yr programme....but seems the school is really good....any suggestion...?

Dera Chauapple & Orphee,

當日見到MISS好友善有耐性，並不是因為有外人在才裝出來，個個小朋友都好聽老師話，（當日見到普通話老師及外籍老師，基本上見散所有老師及姐姐），氣氛很好，有在家的感覺！空氣清新，環境乾淨。

我都好放心俾個仔讀，交通問題如其他媽媽話，他們基本上都好nice，有責任心， 交得俾學校都可以放心！

Dear Parents,

For the two yr-old class,  I'd like to know how's the English standard of kids as there are 2 Cantonese-speaking teachers but just one English speaking teacher.
Please kindly share your experience & views. Thanks.

My son is currently studying the 2's program at YC and I would recommend this school to anyone. The staff are very caring and my son loves going to school. If I were to choose between Victoria and YC I would go for YC without hesitation. When I went for interview at Victoria, all the teachers were just standing there talking to each other and didn't even pay attention to my child, but when I went to the interview at YC, classes were running on the day and I could observe how the teachers interact with children, there was one teacher who held one child for over an hour trying to calm him down while we were waiting for the interview, I was deeply impressed by the teachers at YC.

Anyway, there is only 1 cantonese teacher, 1 native English teacher and 1 yi yi at the class, so both Cantonese and English have equal weighting.

hello 各位YC mama,

早2日我都收到YC電話, 叫下星期去interview, 又話如果啱就可以交低cheque, 咁請問, 佢哋收我個仔geh機會有幾多呢?

同埋, 我個仔係10月尾出世, 咁如果真係收, 係咪10月尾就可以返學呢? 另外, 喺計學費方面, 又係咪入讀嗰個月開始計呢?

請賜教

Hi, I am YC mama,

my son is studing in 2-years programme now. Yes, all students in the class are 2 years or older. They will recommend you to study in ITLP(playgroup) first and reserve a seat of 2-year class for you. Once your baby is 2 years old then can transfer to such class (插班). It means 8月(ITLP) then 10月(2-year class).

The principal share the philosophy of Yew Chung and just ask some common question to know more about the life of my son.(in Cantonese)

She asked who take care baby.This was quite an informal interview.

After the interview, one of their staff registered for my son and received the cheque. - that's mean they accepted my son.

You might think YC being an international school, everyone would speak in English, but the principle is quite opposed to speaking English with you child unless your mother tongue is English. She thinks it delays your child's speech development and hence self-esteem and confidence when learning.......
