Which international Kindergarten is best

happybilly

Hi all,

My kid will start kindergarten at the YMCA next year and we are very excited about this, although we still have some concerns.

I'd like to know what do you think is the best thing your kid got from studying there? I really like this school however, I'm a bit concerned about the primary school issue as competition to ESF schools (which is our first choice) is so tough lately, I'm worried that my kid won't get a place. Then, the only option would be debenture paying IS, which is not easy to get in either, not to mention the astronomical fees.  Does anyone know the % of graduates offered a place at ESF each year and which other schools would they most likely get a place?

Would much appreciate any advice or comments!

Chinese is also one of my big concerns. We will have to find an extracurricular class to teach my child Chinese.

Their curriculum seems to be project-based and theme-based and they teach jolly phonics and have weekly book to take home for you to read with your child.

Hi,

May I know why you can confirm that your kid will study at YMCA 2010? Are you joining their Toddlers' World now?

I've also applied but they said they will meet me on next Mar.

I also plan to  ...

My child is currently attending their pre-kindergarten and we get priority to their K1. Actually last year, we were on the waitlist for quite a long time for their Pre-K. How old is your child? They take kids from 2-3.5 yrs. If your child is old enough, I would suggest to enrol in their Pre-K instead of the Toddler World which I think is by lucky draw and you wouldn't know if you could continue the class in the next semester. Also, their pre-k classes are conducted by their kindergarten teachers, I'm not sure about Todler World.

Good luck!
