Yes.  Personally I wouldn't recommend it (personal opinion and experience only).

Why ?

Our son studied there for PN last year but we didn't like it at all.
The material is too difficult (in my opinion) for the kid's age.  Also, the teachers aren't that caring.  The classroom is small and lots of kids get sick.  We thought the language environment was good before joining but it was just average at best.  Also, they over-discipline (in my opinion).

Our son transferred to another school for PN this year and is much much happier.

Could it be the Lohas Park Campus you are talking about?

Yes.
I understand teaching kids the basic discipline but they over-do it by a mile in my opinion.

I understand teaching them to lineup but is it really necessary to draw lines on the floor to make them walk on the lines only?

I understand the concept of remaining focus but is it necessary to punish the kids for not sitting still, with both hands on the knees / laps, for the whole story time?

Is it really necessary to make the kids put their hands on their backs whenever they walk?

Their so called discipline teaching is killing kids' confidence and interest to learn.

Again, just my opinions only.

Our kid is much more outgoing, confident, and happy after transferring to another school this year.

個人意見，小朋友要有童真，現在很多所謂名牌幼稚園是每天將小朋友機器化，完全將佢地set program 一樣

課程設計可以係open day 自己衡量，始終深同淺每人定義不同，因為pn開始派字咭，只係給予文字概念，但有部分家長認為pn要"認"字係谷，當然亦有部分家長認為pn接觸文字無問題，所以最好自己睇下。
整個幼稚園課程由pn開始到k3，主題不繼重覆，一步一步深化。
老師方面，我認為非常有愛心，亦係由心出發去關愛小朋友。
規矩會隨年級增長加緊，pn好寬鬆到k2要學懂坐好及舉手發問。相比國際學校一定嚴謹但相對傳統又比較寬鬆，因為活動教學，小朋友較多走動。
肯定既係課程涵接小一無問題，中英數程度足以應付，當然無free lunch, 要付出先有收穫。
作為畢業生家長，我唔會用好谷去形容，始終無測驗考試只有默書和課堂評估。但好輕鬆又唔算。
了解學校方針好重要，無謂錯配。
細女都係今年報pn, 希望入得返學之園，我都好掛住班老師。

無需太在意，有時係觀點與角度問題。
我理解地下唔同顏色既線只係引導小朋友返自己班房。廁所門口既線分男女排好，無線引導小朋友會堆埋一堆堆，入門口會撞。
我做過好幾次故事媽媽，小朋友坐好手放大腿只能維持幾分鐘，之後坐得唔好老師提醒坐正，始終有d小朋友會搖凳。但幾年來未見過由故事開始到結束坐得直直的小朋友，因為他們太愛發問，不停舉手陏來陏去……
手擺後面係對老師校長打招呼先做，並非由朝到晚都係。可能我老土，我着重尊師重道，打招呼時立正，我好認同。

當然每人對學校的要求不同，所以有唔同類型學校可以選擇，最重要適合自己既理念。

同意！尊師重道有紀律好緊要。課程我不想評論，小朋友每個能力不同，我小朋友暫時應付得到。老師非常有愛心非常識教小朋友。有一點我幾意外既係佢好著重平衡發展同品德。唔係一未谷！況且我覺得唔谷，只係簡單認字，唱歌，學phonics ...認既字都係日常生活既字如「日月女男人水」

課堂做好多大小肌肉訓練，教你行樓梯，跳，開杯蓋，噴畫，做勞作，真係好難話佢谷，但唔係淺

Agreed.
I don't see the point of making kids putting their hands on their laps when they are sitting down (even adults won't do that).  I also don't see the point of putting the hands at the backs when walking (do we do that as adults?).

As an example:  they were asking my son's class to color a boat.  The teachers wanted the kids to paint the top part in green and the bottom part in brown.  Then my son wanted to paint the whole boat in brown.  The teacher punished him for 'not following order' and then called us to complain!  Should kids be allowed to explore and express their ideas?  What's wrong with choosing the color he wanted?  If this is the kind of discipline and obedience they are looking for, then I am sorry I truly don't know how to appreciate it.

有一年家長會我同孩子class NET 討論過坐姿問題，老師之前一直在外國任教，佢亦直說當發現要如此坐很奇怪，最佳聽故事應坐在地上放鬆去聽隨意發問，同時亦明白小朋友將要玩小一遊戲，禮儀係其中重要一環，無奈接受。
幾年來該位老師， 係我最喜愛的老師，但眼見佢亦係其他家長批評最多既老師，投訴聲線小，囗形不夠誇張，唔夠嚴格……一年後老師亦離職回國。

之後的家長講座亦有提及坐姿問題，對孩子說"坐好"太空泛，如何去define "好"。 具體指示引導孩子理解，而學校選擇手放大腿。

如何坐最好？我亦喜歡隨心地而坐，當然亦明白到考小學時，"坐好"對孩子的重要。

I think if the whole purpose of learning and the direction is 'to prepare for primary school interview', then something is seriously wrong.
