Most children will go to international schools (Y.1) after K2 (eg: ESF, GSIS etc.), or some schools offer Reception Class, then children would leave after K1. Tutor Time has K3 classes, some students will stay for K3 too as some international schools start G.1 at 6 years old (eg: CDNIS, HKIS etc.).

I've been to a school tour of the Redhill campus before, and the Principal said they have quite a number of students got admitted by CIS or CDNIS. These two schools are very competitive, so Tutor Time should be doing well in both curriculum and languages, especially they claimed that it's a bilingual school, otherwise, their kids wouldn't have been accepted by these schools without the solid foundation and teachers' support from preschool.

Tutor Time is offering a bilingual curriculum. It's an int'l kindergarten so it's not too pushy in academic but the school focus on children's personal development, both physically and mentally. If you're aiming local primary school then Tutor Time may not be the best choice for you since they aren't following the local curriculum and your child would find it difficult to adapt in local P1, not just only about languages, but also teaching style and learning atmosphere.

In terms of fees, if I remember it correct, it should be around $7,xxx per month, most international kindergartens charge $5,xxx-$8,xxx a month. Some of them are cheaper such as KBCK, they only charge $22,000 annually. In my opinion, fees can't really reflect the actual quality of the school. It doesn't mean that cheaper schools are not as good as expensive schools. If you meet good teachers and the school satisfies you, at the same time your child enjoys going to school, then the money you paid definitely worths. It's all depends on your expectations and criteria for a kindergarten.

The above is my personal opinion.

my kid has joined its PG for around 1 year, and both of us do love it so much.
but as we are not targeted on IS, we won't study at its K.

anyway, i don't know why its admission rate is not really high (e.g. almost all PG kids are guaranteed a place in K, and even though my kids has quit from its PG, i can still receive an invitation to study their PN pm class).

i do think this is a good KG, may be the fees are quite expensive, or may be it's not a traditional famous KG so not many parents would choose it???

We are also comparing the fees against performance...

Will you plan to send your kdi to International School? I think Tutortime aims to prepare children for international school. It may not be too relevant if you consider for local stream.
