比較蘇淅及維多利亞幼稚園

Sorb

I have the same dilemma 2 years ago, and I have chosen 蘇淅.  

If you target a KG with very good mandarine, and with some balance of English at the same time, go to 蘇淅.  If you target a school with good English, go to 維多利亞.  

If you want to enjoy the Pre-primary Education voucher, choose 蘇淅 and save the $$$ for other after school activities.

If you want your kid to have happy KG life, both KG are happy KG without too much homework nor test.

Another reason for me choosing 蘇淅 is because it's campus is much much better than Victoria's campus in Foretress Hill.  My kid has attended the Victoria playgroup before entering PN, so, I have the opportunity to use most of its facilities. To me, too crowded activity area for kids.

Agree that 維記d playgroup同正規課程唔同, 擺明系賺錢,尤其係賺d想入維記讀書既人d錢. I am one of those stupid parents actually, and as a result of the playgroup observation, I rejected the 正規課程 offer of 維記 after one-year investment in playgroup.

To me, there are something that one can compare after joining the playgroup, other than the hardware, such as the campus environment, we can also compare the quality of the teachers, those teachers teaching playgroup are exactly the teachers of the 正規課程.

I fully trust the normal classes are better. Victoria charges such a high fee, it must have its value.   I trust the current Victoria parents are all smart, they won't stay there if Victoria is not giving them the value for the money.  But what I don't understand is: If Victoria has used playgroup as a tool to attract parents to their normal class, why  don't they operate it with better quality.  You know what, many parents that I know in the playgroup wanted to write the compliant letter to the principal........though they all stayed until the PN result was announced : )  It is a interesting phenomenum.

I don't know what I will comment if I have chosen Victoria normal class. But my own comment about KCS is:  It gives me much much more than the $660 school fee I have paid per month.

As for the $$ issue, since Victoria is profit making without gov't subsidy, thus their charge will be much expensive.

However, one more reason which their school fee is high because they have 3 teach ...

Pingu_k, it is difficult to have a 針 that is 兩頭利, you have to make a choice.  You imagin it yourself, for Victoria, they will have a NET full time throughout the 3-hours class (if I have not mistaken), but for KCS, it only have a NET for 45 minutes each day with the rest 2 hours 15 minutes all in Mandarine.  As one of the mums has commented earlier, this is the main reason why Victoria is $4,000 more expensive than KCS loh.

Answer to Pingu_k's questions:

蘇浙有無教phonics? Yes, KCS teachers Jolly Phonics starting from K1. My girl (now in K1) knows the pnonic sound of most letters now.  To me, phonics is not that difficult to learn, if you think not enough from school, you can easily find good phonic class outside to supplement with the saving from the school fee : )

老師又如何?有愛心嗎?(因為interview day見到有d老師年紀頗大及cool) I can only comment on the teachers that I have met.  My girl is very lucky, all her teachers are very caring and loving.  My girl enjoys school very much, she keeps on asking me to take her to school in the past few days.  In my opinion, relatively old people sometimes are more caring and knowledgeble with the experience accumulated in the past.  

蘇浙K1開始係咪有分local stream & int'l stream?如果將來係讀本地傳統小學,係咪都係local stream較合適?  Yes, starting from K1, they have 2 streams.  If you prefer local primary schools, local stream (KG) is more suitable.  If you can accept, you can place your kid into both streams.  I know a few kids studying in KCS local KG in the morning  and then int'l (PM) KG stream in PM.  The school will take care of the children's lunch and give them a place to stay/play before PM class start.

I remember I have shared with you in other thread about KCS, last piece of information to you , those KCS K1 kids that I am familiar with are actually very good in English, a few very smart one (not including my girl) can read K3 or even P1 level books while in K1, which is really amazing.  I think family input is also important in addition to the 45 minutes English time from school. I do not spend a lot of time on my girl's academic, so, my girl is not among those smart ones : )

Hope the above help!  Cheers.
