At what age do you apply for schools?

Hi Mamma3! Great to see your first post at geobaby is for a kindergarten you are very happy about. Unfortunately we dont live in Tuen Mun so it's not really applicable. However I'm very happy for you that your daughter is happy.

Just came back from the Education Expo at Convention Centre - not really what I was looking for but still interesting to look around.

I would also recommend Jing Jing. Like Mama3 I went and looked at several Kindergartens in my area earlier in the year. All claiming to be International (or at least with English speaking teachers)
What grabs you when you go into Jing Jing Kindergarten is the friendliness of everyone and their openness to share information on what the children will be doing. They even gave me copies of planning and explained all about the curriculum. Its a real family atmosphere. I s'pose that comes from the small classes. The teachers all seem to know what they are talking about and look at the children as individuals. When I visited all the children were busy doing stuff that was not only fun but practical (making fruit salad-they were looking at whole, quarter and half!)I have been into visit a couple of times now, one of them unannounced and I was welcomed in to spend time in the classrooms.I can't wait for my little one to start.

My bub has been attending Baby Buddies at Tuen Mun. Claire, the teacher there is fantastic! They have a branch in Tin Hau if I'm not mistaken. BB is great for getting bub ready for a structured school day. When he turns 2, he'll be attending Step 2.

And, at the GC, he attends Glitterbugs & Music Together run by Just Juniors at our clubhouse.

Thanks spockey!!

My baby has just started his Music Together Class last Friday. It was fun and I guess he needs time to "fit in". He spent the first half of the class observing and becomes so so active only after getting home...:haha:
