My colleague's son studying there this year, he said it is ok. There's a 2 teachers in a class, one is chinese and other is foreigner, and one amah.
You better to take a visit with your kid first. My colleague took his son to visit and play over there, he enrolled it when he found his son like the school.
I visited this kindergarten a few weeks ago, and I was very lucky to have the principal, Ms. Lola, to tour me around. As far as I know, she welcomes parents to visit anytime, as long as you make an appointment with her. I like this kindergarten very much because I feel that Ms. Lola is very trueful in education, and she really puts her heart into it. Their teaching approach is based on "learn through play", and there is no homework pressure. I've seen their N1 class and it is very multi-cultural.
QQSS - Yes, I am planning to send my daughter to this kindergarten, but I haven't decided whether I want to apply for N1 or wait for another year to apply for K1.

momoki,
This 3 weeks最主要比小朋友適應學校同與家長分開,所以多數時間係玩,玩同玩.有時會唱歌 and 油顏色.上週都幾多時間边看vcd边跳舞,可能因為仍有小朋友cry,一開VCD就99.9%的小朋友都stop crying.但應該遲D就唔會成日睇.仲有一出草地玩就又係個個都笑晒口.
响課室貼住個time table,but我無留意,等我睇完再告知你.
88654321 - Thank you for the info. When I visited last time, I forgot to ask about the curriculum and class schedule. I was told that the classes will be taught in English, Cantonese and Putonghua, and the kids will learn a lot about nature. What other subjects are included in the curriculum? And if there is no homework and exam, how will the kids be evaluated at the end of school term? Thank you once again and I really appreciate your feedback.
QQSS - My daughter is also 13-mth old. Initially I was also thinking of applying Anchors for her, but I have changed my mind after I visited Nature. I just like this kindergarten so much! I've also called Anchors to find out if they have any open day or not, but the answer is "no". They said that you can only visit when you are invited for the interview. Besides, their school bus does not go to my place and that's also my concern. If my daughter goes to Nature, I don't worry too much about moving onto primary school because 30% of their students graduated this year got accepted to international schools and 70% got accepted to local english primary schools. The result is not bad. You can see the list of primary schools on the bulletin board when you visit next time. Are you meeting Ms. Lola on Oct 9?
QQSS - Yes, I am a 0508 mom, but I haven't signed up there yet. I am visiting Nature again at the end of Oct. Ms. Lola said that they will have a halloween party and me and my daughter can go have a look. So, are you going to Anchors tomorrow?
