I don't think there is such a banding list in HK. I do see a list of schools for expats, mostly international schools. You may try to look into one local kindie in North Point, Kiangsu & Chekiang Primary School. Mandarin is used with English second.

I don't want to hijack your thread, but I am in much the same situation, only on HK Island. I can not find hardly any info online in English. Can anyone help me find a listing of local school close to Pokfulam (or surrounding areas), or have any they could recommend? My daughter just turned 3 and we would really like to enrol her for September...

Kiangsu & Chekiang Primary ( Kindergartens) School has both a local section and an international section. Of course, the local section is much cheaper and more to budget to most. It's on the Hong Kong side. School bus can take care of all location problems.

To consider one closer to Pokfulam, Rightmind Kindergarten may be good to try.
