MILLS INTERNATIONAL PRESCHOOL 好唔好呀?

I like MIlls very much.  I really like the environment and their 'learning through play' concept.  No writing until K2 is excellent.  The material is not as difficult as some other local schools too.

We picked another school in the end (but Mills was definitely right up there in our list).

No priority for primary schools as far as I know.

小朋友行來行去探索係優點添 <-- absolutely right!

Kids should be curious and try to explore what they are interested in.  Pushing information to them is not an ideal way to learn in my opinion.  Learning through play is a natural way of learning.

Do you want a kid to open the mouth and wait when they are hungry?  Or do you prefer to see them go and find food when they are hungry instead?

Learning through play is the best way of learning in my opinion.

Exactly.
The only concerns we had were:

1.  It is new and didn't have any track record anywhere before
2.  The foreigner ratio is not as high as other international schools

We picked another school in the end but we truly like Mills (it was a tough decision to reject their K1 offer).

The Principal was extremely nice and friendly during our visits.  

They had a field trip setup for the students to go to the library nearby.  I also liked their focus on arts and music as a way to inspire young kids.

I admire your thoughts and actions.
I agree that interviewing kids is a crazy idea!
