Hi angelacyn,
I think they don't have to be contradictory but consider the limited number of kindergartens which can offer through train, then it is simply because all of them do not put English proficiency as priority. A point which parents should think more deeply as in why they don't put emphasis on English.
Personally, I never put English training as priority in kindergarten training since English is just a language skill. Parents nowadays are overwhelmed by peers and sales representatives from language learning tools/ programs of how good to learn languages in the early ages. I don't oppose to those research results, but it is how you interpret these results. Moreover, English is a very simple language and that's why it is so common. If the early age is suitable for language learning, I would rather put my child to learn something more difficult (e.g. Latin, maybe )
Anyway, above is just my personal comment and feelings towards the current market trend of child education.
Back to your list of kindergartens, I agree with all the points you have given for the four kindergartens and can tell you have done your homework. However, selection of kindergarten should be based on personal preference. For instance, if you have strong preference on English proficiency, then out of these four St. Johannes should probably be the choice. I understand this is a tough choice for parents so that's why I chose Sacred Heart, the one which may not be the best in a specific area, but providing me an environment which gave the children good training but maintain balance over many many areas. So, I don't need to worry about making a wrong choice and can let the child to develop their skills in better balance and identify their strengths later, rather than forcing them to walk the path the parents have chosen.
I hope this help you and many parents on their selection of kindergarten.
Ian
