yes...why not accepting the offer..any particular reasons?

I could not exactly know what other parents thought. From my experiences attending school tours (2 times), not all parents felt comfortable with ESF kinder philosophy;
1. Open Class-room;
2. Learn thro' play;
3. No 100% guarantee for ESF P1 place;
4. Less academic (of course, due to point 2)
5. No intensive Putonghua programme...
(thousands reasons omitted)
They were the questions that many parents did concern and some of them will decide to give up when they have a better option fulfilling their needs.

My son applied TY ESF. Just received the letter fr play visit. It's said that "Contracts will be issued on the next day of the play visit to successful applicants".  

My daughter also studied TY ESF  ...

Sounds interesting. No such arrangement last year. (Sent u a letter of school visit and asked you to sign the contract within 1/2 weeks).
New management(principal) New style?
Are they going to pre-screen the K1 applicants thro' the play visit???
