靈糧pn上午及Pods (樂基新合資學校)下午, 怎樣選擇好?

bettychan4u

Pods 兩文三語, 與樂基同一校長, 由於新校, 不知道老師質素怎樣. 靈糧口碑好, 不過英文方面可能稍遜. 應該選擇學校提供好的語言環境, 還是選擇上課時間配合小朋友的作息時間 (小朋友習慣午睡)?

I want to know too!

新校好多未知，又是pm，所以揀靈糧是否安心D?

好奇想知道點解樓主覺得新校會影響老師質素？一個好老師，去到那裡都係好老師。一個好老師，去到口啤再好的學校，都有機會離開。實際d，睇下學校答應比到d.咩係你想要既，而你又信佢真係會比到，咁咪去馬。如果你跟本對新校冇信心，就算間學校幾好你都唔會讀得安心。

擔心係因為新校沒有track record, 唔知學校會否over promise

I also want to know too. PODS sounds good but new school.

I think I will choose pods given the education philosophy matches my needs.

靈糧PN唔係親子班咩？如果係就好唔同啵

如果兩間學校都有pg 的話，可以試下兩間學校既pg感受一下，因如果個pg係學校自己辦的，咁多多少少會同幼稚園課程差不多，當自己親身感受完兩間幼稚園的pg，再決定！

我和先生都喜歡這兩所學校，不過靈糧學費是不是比較化算一點？PODS要6800一個月。

如果直接比較學費, 當然靈糧化算好多, 但因為pods每天都有英文, 而且係native speaker教, 再加上有少少普通話, 道理上語言方面會較靈糧好, 所以我知道視乎自己想要乜.

I checked out Pods due to a friend's recommendation.  My observations:
1) The campus is like a dungeon in the basement, but heard that they're going to expand soon
2) The other parents didn't speak fluent English, basically they waited for the Chinese admin to show up for them to ask questions
3) The English teacher, who is going to teach both PG and PN classes, is a native English speaker but has a speech pattern of that of 13-year-old girls'4) The design of the play room was pretty impressive, I can imagine my kid having fun there
5) The location is very convenient, and the neighborhood should have quite high concentration of educated families
6) CIS is right above the hill

Hope this helps.

I visited the place earlier but didn't think it's like a dungeon... It's only one floor but the space is sufficient for kids. The other parents that I've encountered can speak fluent English. Emma the English teacher is fine,  but quite a number of parents spoke to Priscilla the admin to clarify information... From what I've heard is that the Cantonese teacher is not ready for thr playgroup yet, so only international class ( ENG & Mandarin) isb available.

I guess i used more subjective description, so let me rewrite/clarify:
Dungeon in a basement = no window in the playrooms and no outdoor space;
Parents' English level = Hong Kong English, and the fact that they waited to ask the admin questions in Chinese, in front of the English teacher is rather impolite and tells me something about how confident they are of their english skills;
English teacher's speech pattern being poor = she used "like" in every other sentence, e.g. the children will have snacks,like in between sessions. We try to provide a variety of healthy snacks, like congee and things like that that people like..."

Because of the above I decided against applying to their K1, but that means I could be biased in the above statements.  Please make your own judgement.

我昨天上佢playgroup,已經有港東話老師了。

請問你對佢地playgroup 印象點？可分享下嗎？

教學內容ok,但我覺部份內容太深，超出左小朋友既能力，但始終我只係上左一堂，又係新校，好難講太多，過多幾堂再補充一下。

請問那一方便深？可以舉例一下嗎？thx!

課堂內容重點係情感，教happy ,sad ,angry,sleepy等，這部分是ok的，但之後老師講黃色代表happy, 藍色表代sad, 紅色代表angry。當老師舉起唔同既表情時，小朋友要行去相對既顏色乎拉圈內。仲要唔係連續舉起不同表情，係表情與表情之間播歌，小朋友在播歌時要行來行去，音樂停，老師就舉起表情，小朋友就要行去相對的顏色圈並企在圈內，才叫做對！大家覺得這部分對一個18個月的小朋友來說，會否太難？

But I was told Emma is only the playgroup teacher.  For PN and K1, they have other English native teachers who are certified and have a lot of experience just teaching kindergarten.  For example the English teacher who will be teaching PN English class is transferred from HKPS and has taught there for a long time and well-liked by parents.
