Need advice for finding a kindergarten in kowloon.

"english speaking kindergarten is a must."

Isn't this a bit ambitious for a 9-month-old? At that age, they aren't even at the "mommy" "daddy" "cookie" point of verbalization yet. Why don't you focus on finding safe, loving care for your child while you are at work, regardless of the language? If you really must have English, then hire a Filipina instead of an Indonesian or Chinese maid / nanny.

I spoke only Cantonese and no English until I was 5, and it didn't affect me one bit when I grew up in the U.S.

Hi there, check this out, it includes government subsidized child care plus private ones, which cost >$7k for half day:

For the government subsidized one you don't need to be disadvantaged you just need to line up in the queue for about 6-8 months. And it cost >$4k full day.... Button might need to be hk resident though
