I visited it on weekday. The campus is large and clean but the classrooms are relatively small.
Two teachers (1 is NET) were teaching.
The Mandarin teacher comes twice a week during their tea time.  

Hope this helps.

I visited the Essex Road campus yesterday.  It's relatively smaller than Nolfork's campus but it's clean & tidy.  There're two music rooms but one of the room is a tent but it's also air-conditioned.  There quite a lot of NET.

cj177916,

I thought you already made up your mind to let your son study at Kentville.

So, that means the decision has not been made yet?

咁學校有冇outdoor的地方俾小朋友玩呀？

猴子爸,

Not yet made up my mind as I still want to observe more to find out which kinder suits my child the most.

Which one you choose?  I saw from another topic that you want to choose Stanford as well.  Would you consider KV?

猴子爸

We didn't apply to KV as it's not our cup of tea.  

Traditional vs Activity Based/Thematic
Chinese vs Eng
No Net vs Net

We prefer SC.

BTW, I saw some parents in another thread saying that there are 3 am and 4 pm K1 classes at Essex and there are only 20 students in a class (at least in one case).  Also, as far as hardware is concerned, Essex is newer and smaller; to us, it means better.  Everything sounds pretty good.

我個仔都係 Essex Raod pm class, 今個week 交留位費
但係仲諗緊讀 keenmind 定 st. cat
因為見到好媽咪又話 sc 老師惡有愛心........ etc
攪到我對 sc 減晒分, 十五十六!

km 又好似話讀得好開心, 老師又好關心 d 學生咁
都未諗掂

Yes, I remember that there are 2 playgrounds. Quite spacious and new. Total 14 K1 classes in Essex(No Eng-mandarin class). Most of them have 2X students, and only 1 has 3x.

Their hardware is good.

hi leecandice, the above info... 14k1 classes(7am,7pm) and no eng/mandarin classes at essex, did u get it from the school??

thanks!

leecandice

elainec,

Yes, I asked the teacher who led us when visiting. This is the first year they offer Eng-Mandarin class and it is only available in Norkford.

The school will start at 30Aug. They will arrange a talk to provide us detailed information in early Sep.

你地的小朋友會唔會搭校車呀？我全個度冇校車到！唔知搭保姆車安唔安全呢？有冇人都係住葵芳架？

lillymom

我未決定個小朋友搭唔搭校車啊﹐因為住係馬鞍山﹐返學個程車要成個鐘﹐好耐。
我問過學校﹐如果搭校車既小朋友就4:35跟校車走,有老師幫手帶出車 (唔怕蕩失同上錯車)﹐跟車就係校車公司既人。然後其他小朋友(搭褓姆車同自己接)就要等4:50開大門。褓姆車我就擔心佢一個人要帶幾個小朋友出門口行去上車(車未必停到係門口)﹐可能跟得唔係太好﹐雖然佢地應該都好有經驗。
