返playgroup會否對幼兒園interview有幫助？

jenny03423

Dear all mama,
請問如果俾小朋友返playgroup班，等bb接觸多D大人同小朋友，到in幼稚園或幼兒園時唔洗咁驚，返完又可以表達得好D，取錄機會是否高些，因我知某些出名的幼稚園都好多人爭，你們覺得我的想法對嗎？
最好可以practise下就好，我的bb較文靜啊!

Thanks!

jenny03423,

我帶囡囡去面試時, 我沒想過要囡囡有任何表現, 我想老師看見我囡囡最真的一面, 所以由得她自由發揮。

不過若你想考的很多人爭的名校, 可能真是要找些playgroup, 幫小朋友practise和warm up一下。

jenny03423,

I think playgroup is good to kids for them to open up themselves to strangers and and learn a lot, so may have some positive effect to interview.

However, in order to face the vigourous competition for famous kindergartens, kids are required to have outstanding performances, talkative, initiative, polite and self-care, etc.

The answer is a definitely "yes" if your child is the only child in the family.  If you don't at least take him to a playgroup before taking him to school, he may not be prepared for his little friends and there will be alot of biting, crying, etc.  Better safe than sorry.

The battle for a good school is starting earlier and earlier these days.  We all need to prepare our kids early.  Starting music lessons with a good teacher is a good start at 3 years old.

I totally agree with you Kelvingorgor, joining playgroup in definetely a YES!! It does give opportunity to your child to expose more, be it mentally or emotionely, even physically too, because some playgroup does offer some exercise sections...
your child will tend to learn more about sharing and making friends, more familiar to the classroom and studying life and ofcourse its always good to let your child to play with child about their age.
Vice versa  i do not agree for sending your child to the nursery, course you will learn nothing except falling sick more often, and ofcourse its a place for parents that have no time taking care of their kids...

hi 各位,
我都同jenny有相同ke問題, 都打算比bb 番playgroup,
想佢interview 時表現可以好dd....但我仲想問, 番playgroup 會唔會對佢開口講野有幫助呢? ( 我囡而家18個月大, 唔鐘意開口講野, 咩都唔太會講, 令我好頭痛~"~ )
同埋比bb 番幾耐好呢? 而家距離10月(各幼稚園interview)仲有半年, 係咪可以遲d 至開始比佢番playgroup?

Whether playgroup will help them speak really depends on the quality of the playgroup curriculum.  They are playgroups that just "play" and "social" and there are playgroups that are more structured.  

I choose the one with native English and Mandarin speakers and use flashcards in their lessons.  I have been taking my child to Mandarin and English playgroup at KixxxrU in Causeway Bay.  They have a very good curriculum.  I am also considering sending my kid to their Kindergarten.

Hello,
How much is the course then? I am considering whether I let my bb join the playgroup or not. Since I am busy on weekdays, I don't have time to accompany my bb. Causeway Bay is so far away from me, I want to choose a place near Kowloon Tong.

Going playgroup would definitely help as they will teach them how to share, behave politely, etc. My older son joined before and he had a lot of improvements and that is why I now send my 13m daughter to playgroup too.
