Hi HKfornow,
I'm considering enrolling my 19 month old in a playgroup, but I can't decide between Victoria and Woodlands in Pokfulam. Did your son join the playgroup before K1? if so, can you share with me the experience. Also, can you give me an idea of what it's like at the interview for k1? thanks so much.
nervous mom

I highly recommend Victoria (please read between the lines). If you would like additional info, please PM me.

bbky, I think instead of thinking playgroup, may be applied Pre-Nursey is another good choice. For me, my girl didnt attend any playgroup at all, and during the interview , most of the kid just like the same , didnt really know the teacher asking what they do. But I'm sure that they all expected as normal. Of course, one point need to pay attention is the kid's character. Like me, my girl, is super-active,like to play, full of curosity, no problem in adapting new environment. Therefore, I chose 5 days schools for her start from the beginning. And lucky, she hasnt even cried for home since then. Like HKfornow, I very satisifed with this school and highly recommended.

thank you both for your input. as victoria is no longer taking applications for pre-nursery for this august, i thought we'd join their playgroup first to see how we like it. anyway, I have a very active but clingy little girl so I guess I don't mind having her start "school" a bit later.

ramkiranju,
What about the English standard or the teachers in Starters, Tai Hang? Are the teachers there all native and caring about kids?

My daughter is going to pre-nurseury class at Victoria HH this August. She'll be 18mths ans attending the 5 day week class. 5 day week is because they only have that class available but i'm hesitant and afraid it might be too much for her to go to school every day. Having said that, I've been taking her to playgroups since she's been 5 months. But still worried if it'll tire her out. But we have to register or we'll loose our space. Can anyone share their experiences at Victoria. How are the teachers? Can they handle a bunch of young children like that? thanks ahead for any input.
