讀兩間幼稚園？

tinypoem

其實家長都要諗吓自已頂唔頂得順, 學校的家教會 / 家長日 / 親子旅行 / 觀課日 / 睇功課 / 溫書 / 同學仔生日會 / 親子美勞 / etc 好可能打孖上...

樓主,我覺得你雖然心中已有想法,但仍是開放地去聽意見的.而我的意見是,除咗研究讀兩間的好/壞處之外,我覺得更需要思考的是你打算如何養育你的小朋友,你想由小朋友的需要出發?抑或由父母的需要出發?這涉及你家庭的價值觀,你是覺得讀兩間(而假設handle到)的價值,比小朋友需要休息,需要玩,需要空間的價值更高,抑或是你認同後者對小朋友長遠發展的好處更大?

p.s.我是不會讓小朋友讀2間幼稚園的.

我身邊有兩個case：
1）蘇浙+衛理堂，因為佢地住同一條街，所以小朋友可以回家食飯換校服，但因為學卷只可以用一間，所以佢地其中一間比全費。佢地喜歡蘇浙的語言環境，又欣賞衛理堂的品德教育。小朋友幼稚園畢業了，他們自己好滿意這個安排。
2）SPK+St Cat：為此，家人特意雇了司機，我估還有姐姐跟車，小朋友在車上午飯和換校服，結果，小一大抽獎入marynoll，算是happy ending，但我覺得小朋友那3年的付出好無謂。

不如等樓主自己分析:
1) 你個小朋友是很渴睡嗎?
我有個朋友個小朋友3歲, pn班, 一放學食午飯已經想訓
亦有個朋友個小朋友3歲, pn班, 放學食完午飯要
又有個朋友個小朋友自2歲起,未讀書, 踢都唔肯訓,到而家2歲半都冇訓晏覺

所以訓晏覺呢個問題好睇你自己小朋友本身. 但專家話要最好小朋友天天平均有11個小時訓覺先健康, 咁你就要考慮下佢返2 間訓唔訓得足嘞.

2) 2 間學校會否同樣谷/功課多?
我自己唔清楚你所講個兩間, 印象中vict k是活動教學. 如果2 間學校都同樣谷/功課多, 咁大人同小朋友都辛苦. 相反如果唔係, 咁2間是否性質相似? 相似就根本唔駛讀2 間, 除非各有好處而對小朋友既發展係有幇助. 例如好似你咁講, 1間語文好好, 另1間可能係創意/紀律.....等.

3)地點, 時間
正如你所講, 我相信呢個問題係可以解決, 因為夠近.

4) 興趣班
變左谷埋星期六日上興趣班, 少左family day既時間
家庭相處時間係好緊要, 如果你又有好多興趣班想上, 咁就對大家都唔係咁好.  最多可能星期六日各一堂

5) commitment
返2 間都要有commitment, 支持唔到就唔好玩個d一三五, 二四六遊戲, 冇意思. quit左去罷了, 咁樣返學到野咩? 小朋友到時都唔知點面對, 左右兩桶水, 而家唔係pn, 係k1, k2, k3. 咁就真係唔好霸住個位嘞!!!

樓主, 你不妨由小朋友個邊諗下, handle到就go ahead, 唔好理人點睇, 我相信你都係想比小朋友學到最好既野, 入到好既小一, 你唔讀2 間出去上興趣班又要諗下可能要join幾個興趣班先archieve到2間幼稚園比佢既野, 咁要幾多$$?? 幾多時間?? 我唔知呀, 不過佢搞唔掂我諗你都會quit. 有時d野你估唔到, 你以為佢handle到, 但其實你迫緊佢佢硬食. 你以為佢唔得, 但原來佢又ok喎.  你自己諗下啦 , 冇人可以幇你決定.  不過希望大家都提出多d資料/實況比樓主reference, 始終一個腦係有限的.

your child will be very tired! Maybe you should consider  about a whole day kindergarten for your kid.

但d名校冇全日！

個人意見，多未必好！質重於量！所謂質是指小朋友全人發展，不只學問。

用家好少會出聲, 因為會有好多人聲討.

我都想安排女女K2讀上下午, 一來因為語言不同, 二來因為佢係細女, 就算上下午學差唔多的東西都可以幫助佢牢固知識, 好過話要repeat一年做大女(最唔鐘意呢個approach). 但無奈我要返工, 時間安排有點困難.

其實返幼稚園都係玩的多, 我又唔覺得算係學咩知識. 上下午, 寫寫畫畫, 唱歌跳舞就一天啦, 如果係KV果d當然另計.

K1可能會難D, 因為通常要午睡. 有些人安排到上下午之間仲有午睡時間, 你睇下兩間學校的返放學時間如何.

出去學普通話可能仲只係坐定定一粒鐘咁學, 我諗返vic的普通話時間分配得仲好D添, 唱歌畫畫茶點排洗都普通話, 呢D興趣班就做唔到了.

試下先啦, 洗乜煩.

係啦，試咗先知！

有無人同時讀真光同聖心呢? 唔申請學卷應該無問題? 反正真光必上小一, 聖心上唔倒小一都仲有真光, 或者到時兩間都收小一, 先再諗, 大抽獎埋 St. Stephen 都仲得

其實好多人讀兩間, 一間私立, 另一間有學卷. 我唔係話樓主, 只不過好多人咁做

我唸Victoria VS SKH的教學approach是有所不同的, 所以樓主先有此考慮......不過, 原來真係好少用家會分享的......個個都係話朋友係咁做, 係街見到等等......

Indeed this is a sensitive topic and all these years this type of threads will turn out to be aggressive debates over such idea.

I am very thankful that parents here have been much more open minded.  In reality, there are parents who would choose to do so with a valid reason.  However, I think under the current people's perception, it would still be difficult for them to share their experience in public.  It's because some kindergartens would not allow their students to do so and they will asked the parents to make a decision if they are found.  On the other hand, there will be harsh comments from other parents which will prevent them to share.

At the end, big applause to most of us here who are able to rationally share and discuss.  Thank you!

(Just my personal sharing)

Thanks for the sharing!  I certainly understand these parents are under a lot of pressure, and they have to live under them everyday.  It must be something that they believe so they have chose to take this path despite all these problems that they have to face.

I guess the rationale behind the SPK+St. Cat is they family would like St. Cat but they would need a good connection to a private school so they can go all the way for lucky draw.  So, this is how this combination has been formed.

我覺得一定有好既例子, 但D人都唔夠膽分享, 因為一係比EK人插苦了孩子, 一係比人插霸住學位,又被勸release d offer 出來等等, 令到很多人都卻步在EK講野.....同意你的講法, 態度真係要open minded 同溫和....

The discussion is very helpful.  Thank you for brainstorming with me.

Sending the kid to two kindergartens somewhat contracts my own wish/plan.  "Facts vs theory!"

I am a full time mom.  The reason for me to quit my job was to spare more time with my kid.  I have not applied to any full-day nurseries as I hope my kid would have more leisure for her own exploration.

This wild idea suddenly struck me because I have personally experienced how effective it is to build up the language ability in a bilingual learning environment.  Apart from going to Victoria, my kid also have regular lessons with a PTH teacher and that's how I made the comparison.  I have also observed other elder kids who take private lessons but go to cantonese kindergartens as benchmark.  I am quite sure that my kid wouldn't be able to achieve the same language skills even if she has one private PTH lesson a day.  

Having said that, I don't mean I have made my decision.  I am struggling on many practical issues like many of those discussed on this thread, such as lunch break, nap time, sense of belonging to the kindergarten, time with family.... all are valid points.  I am also asking myself how important it is to learn the languages at this young age.... can this be deferred?

This is a tough decision and there will be many more decisions to make until the kids are able to stand on their own feet!  I will think it hard.  Thanks all.

我有朋友個囡讀2間 - 1間有學劵, 另1間INTERNATIONAL, 不過, 不見得小朋友英文好左.  不如, 放學後, 再報D COURSE 重好, 這時候, 休息最緊要!

hellocheese

有朋友係K1同K2一齊讀,(佢係超大B或超細B),我覺得可以試下2間,但如果小朋友辛苦就再2揀1,始終覺得有個快樂童年係健康D....第時上到小學開始面對好多壓力....

咁谷法, 到小學會唔會對讀書失去興趣?

"how effective it is to build up the language ability in a bilingual learning environment."

> can't agreed more. If I were you, I would simply choose Victoria. I think it makes sense to stay in one kinder, especially when you are a full time mom.
