Most people have a wrong perception about 托嬰園. Let me share my real life experience:
My son is 4-year old, he grew-up in 托嬰園 (from 2-month old to 2 year old), I like it very much. He has started to talk in simple sentense when he was 1 year-old. Because they grow-up as a group, he learns very quickly on everything, has very good character, not afraid of talking to strangers. I remember we paid 4500 or 4800 per month, it is more than hiring a maid, but I still prefer him to grow in a safe and happy environment .
You have to remember : the first 3 years of a child is very important. In creche 托嬰園, care providers will start different kind of interactive activities with baby. They play music to all kids, they read to them, have books in every corner, lots of space for them to crawl. Do you think your maid will do it?
Don't believe in:
- they won't change diaper etc.. my son never has rash on his bottom during the 2 years. He was always clean and smell good when I picked him up. I am rather mad at his kindergarten, whenever I pick him up, he looks like a dirty beggar with sticky hands and sticky mouth.
- they will let the baby cry, no one will care... Don't believe it, you can spot check. I did it, my mom did it and my mother in-law did it, we showed up without any notice, you can hardly hear all babies cry at the same time.
My son is doing excellent in his school. He speaks English, Cantonese and Putonghua fluently. He starts to read on his own when he was 3-year old. He is 4-year old in April and can read Primary school english books.

我個仔2個月開始都係放喺托嬰園湊, bb 唔會扭計,唔怕人同埋好長肉.雖然係一對八(最多).但湊佢嘅姐姐全部都係有cert同埋做咗好耐. 一日三更,仲有註冊護士在場.好似醫院咁.(醫院仔房都唔止一對八咁少)一星期7日,仲可以只托夜晚(6pm-9am).包埋奶粉同尿片,而且24小時有人睇住,放工可以去探佢.你請個工人响屋企佢都要休息喇!!平日睇報紙見得太多工人虐待bb,要遇到好工人好難.我要番Shift要番星期日同紅日,屋企人年紀大要佢哋長時間湊bb 會好辛苦.如果請人湊一個月唔包奶粉同尿片大約要$6000-6500, 仲多數要放紅日.我而家一個平均托廿幾日都係五千幾.佢哋係續日計所以唔會話托管日子少咗而waste錢. 最重要係政府資助.If you want to know more about that place, you can e-mail me for more information.

All moms,
Here is a complete 托嬰園 list from Government. I suggest you to choose one which is close to where you live or close to where you work.
Go to visit 托嬰園 during pick-up time (e.g. 6:00-6:30 pm) and talk to other parents and get their comment & feedback.
