Anyone here can comment on York kindergarten?

Most kindergartens welcome visiting. However, many in Kowloon Tong don't allow visitors. The most common reply/excuse is lessons are on-going and they do not have anyone to show you around. Some will tell you to visit the school's website instead.

The best is to wait until the school has an open day or make an appointment.

Hi I am also in the process of searching for kindergarten for my son. Has anyone heard of Kentville Kindergarten? If so what are you comments about it?

Are there any other local kindergarten in Kowloon anyone would recommend?

Thanks!

Are we talking about York International, or York English Primary and Kindergarten? I assume York English Pri & Kg to teach Cantonese and Mandarin (as well as English).

Is York any different to Kentville, as I heard Kentville is just a 'tough' in the style of primary school teaching. Is it true that Kentville require dictation of 4 times a month by K2?? Thanks.

Is York International activity or tranditional based teaching?
Any comments for their International KG? Our daughter been accpeted for next year international K1, need to know more from experienced parents (not only from the school side) before making this big decision. Thanks!

I went to York International and Stanford (mind you they are actually both York!) last year for an interview with my son, we were offered a place in both schools. However, we were not thrilled about the school. At the interview, they made on parent stay with the child while the other have to listen to the principal praising the high english standard and cambridge test results for the children. The worst part... the presentation for both schools were IDENTICAL!

It's a local school... we have decided it's not a school for our little one, so we looked elsewhere. We need a school that is not reciting and copying all the time but allow creativity during structured play.
