Hi,
We've just moved to HK and have a 20month old daughter. She was attending long day care with pre-school curriculum which she throughly enjoyed back in Australia and I was wondering if there was something equivalent here in HK. I've read through the posts in the forum and understand that children here don't start nursery until 2 years and 4 months - is that true? And even after that nurseries are only 3 hour a day programmes? In that case what would I do if I were to go to work? It appears to me domestic-help is an absolute must for working women???
Also I am interested in a primarily English speaking nursery/kindie for my girl - perhaps an international school sort as am more keen on her english language skills since we might move again in a couple of years.
Am just trying to settle in here and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
