Could you kindly share your experience please?
Our family attended the "play visit" at ESF Tsing Yi kindergarten on Wednesday (11/Jan), and we received an offer this morning (Saturday) through the post. I have no idea what their selection criteria were and so can't give any advice on what might be the "right" thing to do, but I can share with others here what went on during the 30 minutes which was how long the event lasted.
They expect 2 people (preferably the parents) to show up with the child, one to accompany the child in the play area, the other to attend a presentation given by the Principal in a separate area. My wife went for the presentation and I went along with my daughter to the play area where various toys were laid out on a few tables and the floor, there were also some books lying around. We were asked to play with our child and while that was going on a few teachers (around 4 or so) observed us and jotted down notes on their writing pads. They did not ask the children to mingle and play together in a big group, so it was essentially pairs of parent-child playing with themselves without interaction with other parent-child pairs. There wasn't much interaction between the teachers and us either, no questions, almost non-existent conversation, just quiet observation. My daughter wasn't in a talkative mood that day and hardly said a word, so I did all the talking and suggested to her what might be fun to do. This went on for about 20 minutes and then it was singing time, we sang nursery rhymes like "The wheels on the bus go round and round" and did body movements along with the songs, and then it was over. By the time we finished fooling around the presentation also ended and the separated family members met up and went home, on our way out we saw the teachers sat together in discussion. Most people wore casual for the event, our family dressed as though we were on a regular trip to the supermarket.
When I received ESF's letter today I thought we were unsuccessful, because the letter was thin and I could feel there was only a single sheet of paper inside, which usually means bad news as an offer would normally be accompanied by other notes and forms and so should be thicker, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover it was in fact an offer letter, and in it they said the remaining paperwork will be sent later. They wanted to inform parents as soon as possible instead of delaying until all the documentation are prepared, which is very thoughtful of them.
