I don't think the hygiene of  KM is poor when compared with other KG. When my son first studied in N1, he always got sick. I asked my doctor why. My doctor said it is quite normal for Students in nursery class to get sick because they are too well-protected at home. Parents try to provide a bacteria free and clean environment to their kids. No matter which KG your kids go to, they may easily get sick in the first few months. No need to   !

BenKeung,

I agree with you.  In terms of environment and hygiene, it appears that Cannan Kln Tong is far better than Keen Mind.  I was surprised to see that Keen Mind is still using carpet-liked floor mats for its indoor play area.         Moreover, I've noticed in Keen Mind's topic at 幼兒園 section that their kids are getting sick all the time.

My son received by Keen Mind today. But I want to share my opinion here with all ma and da. My son had interviewed in keen mind and cannan at the same day. However, I found that both the facility and space are not good in keen mind when compare with cannan. I just wonder all of us (including me) whether we are choosing a kindergarten by us or by our kit. Besides, I found that the teacher in cannan are far more nice than keen mind. Also, I haven't met the principal in keen mind, but the principal in cannan had talked to me for more than 20 mins. Of course, I have no idea about the course structure and program of both school. But I really think that my son should be more happy to learn, to study in a room with only 13 kids than 23 kids.
So, I will give up Keen Mind and choose Cannan.
This is all the opinion of my wife, my son (happy in cannan than keen mind during interview and during waiting for interview) and me. Good luck to all parents.

BenKeung,
If you try to enter the forums about  KM K1-K3, you will know the answers to your questions! Some KG are bigger in size but they may be just like big factories!

Hi Faye-Faye,
Thanks your comment. I just want to know more and then I know how to choose. Actually, if the space, classroom of keenmind is not so small, I think I will definitely choose keenmind. But I really worry my son to study in this small area for 3 yrs. Will he feel comfortable---willing to learn---will have good result????
By the way, do you know about York, what is your comment on York. This is my last choice.
Thanks

I think this is a typing error only. The boards are prepared by the class teachers,  not the NETs. The English lessons are conducted by NET. They won't make spelling mistakes.

我bb都收到KM的信, 收他入AM. 但我不知應否讓他在這裡讀, 因為我擔心KM未必真的好像我們以為的可以提供良好的中英語文環境.
事情發生在interview那天當我們參觀校舍時, 在壁報板上發現貼了每個月生日的小朋友姓名, 這本來是好事, 但當我看到八月份時......"Augest",   為何"August"的spelling變了, 這是否另一個spelling呢, 回家查字典, 但找不到答案.
可有人願意赐教呢? Thank you.  [/quote]

I think the effectiveness of teaching is far more important than the size of classrooms.

Hi safarimama,
Thanks. If KM has bigger campus like cannan then perfect.

alwayssmile,
what do you want to know about am class? There are 2 local teachers in 1 class. There are PTH and English lessons conducted by native speakers. All ECA are held on Sat morning.

natma,
I have no ideas how many K1 classes will be run in the coming year. This year, 3 K1 classes in am. In my son's class, there are only 20-21 students with 2 class teachers. It is true that the class size of KM is quite small actually.
