I was a TY parent but i am not going to share those learning environment and programs, as my info. may be a bit out-dated.
In old days, many parents applied ESF kindy (there were no play visit at my time, having an offer was merely lucky draw) but some of them did not know why they chose, what the school would provide, or they did not know what they really wanted to have, struggling between the offers from IS and other famous local kindy.
If you are one them, think thoroughly about the education route you really want in the future. It is not a place to improve English skill.
If you have had enough preparation to go for the IS stream, I would like to congratulate you and you will have a good start. Just follow the school's philosophy, provide extra nourishment if required, and you will be on the way to your goal.
If you have more than enough offers from different IS kindies, it will be a hard time for you to choose your best.

Thanks for your sharing!
Learnt from their website, they will teach phonics through play activities. Can you please share which phonic system are they following (e.g. letterland, jolly phonics etc)? They generally follow Education Bureau's guideline to start writing at age 4 (i.e. K2)?

I do want my kids to learn phonics earlier and in a systematic way, such that they can be able to read by themselves earlier.

i have yet to hear any good comments on esf kindergarten, the best i heard is "it is okay". the primary reason to get in is to get priority for its primary school. So, lower your expectation and you will not be disappointed.

As a parent of two children, I went through quite a lot of different playgroups/kindergartens and my personal comment was that most of them were just doing the similar things, no matter how did they mention what and which methods they were using.

In my days, TY was in a big open area with partitions separating different classes.
I remember a teacher told me during the meeting they were using Jolly Phonics (but end up I didn't know what my children learned.).

Honestly speaking, I did not care what the curriculum was, and how they implemented as they stated in the website; and i have almost forgotten what was happening during that 2 years except fun.
My only purpose to be there was to train up to pass the interview, and had the priority to get a Year One place at ESF primary.

I suppose every IS kindergarten and primary are encouraging the importance of reading and have been providing a good environment to read but how early can a child read independently and how broad and deep he or she can read really depend upon the child's character, not the school herself.
If you do want your child to read more, you should not rely on the school. There are a lot of stuff you need to do at home to achieve your goal.

佢一般見識,靠抬高自己小朋友間學校為榮,井底之蛙,唔知出面個世界有幾大,呢種人好可悲,做佢小朋友更可悲。

It is quite common to have arguments in internet forums, usually they would peter out after a while as participants start to lose interest, but digging up irrelevant old posts to continue the battle is getting a bit out of hand. Perhaps it is time for everyone to cool down.

What do you think we should do with this K1 newbie who continues to pursue others who disagree with her?

I know she is an embarrassment for other ESF parents and I feel for all of you. Problem is she continues to harass others in another forum. I do know one thing for sure. She is now famous in EK!

I don't understand why people keep asking programmes of kindies. I think majority of kindies offer similar programmes (play for majority of the time) except some extreme local ones like KV would require kids to write difficult Chinese characters and keep scheduling dictations on regular basis. So I think parents should just need to understand if the teachers are caring and the path after the kindies (local vs IS).
