pre-nursery/nursery in kowloon - pls help!!!

forgot to say that kids adapt really well (most of them). you are right, he won't understand what is going on at the beginning, but it won't take long for him to figure it out.

just think... if you moved from italy to the USA, there would be no choice other than english schooling...he might then be the only one who doesn't speak english...but he would learn.
 
oooohhhh

I know!

but my husband works in Kwun Tong and it would take hours to get there from Sai kung.

and I will have to go often to China and it will take long as well.

ahhhhhhhhhhhh...god knows how I hate small apartments on high floors!
 
I know...

My daugher would learn a second language anyway as she will speak Italian and English or Italian and Cantonese.

But again, you don't get many chances to learn Canotonese in life while you can easily attend English classes later in life.
 
KWUN TONG is NOT far from sai kung! there is a minibus that takes 20 minutes to get you to Kowloon Bay! then it's only 1 MTR stop!

that's an EASY commute! it would take him longer on the MTR from Elements than it would from sai kung! no more than 30 minutes from sai kung (there may even be a minibus directly to kwun tong... i'll ask hubby!)... at least 40-45 minutes by MTR from elements...

going to china would be a bigger hassle, but if you have a car, you drive (highway almost the entire way) to sheung shui (i do it in about 35 minutes or so) and then it's only one stop on the MTR...there is a parking lot directly across the road from the MTR station.
 
ok..I have to check on the map again where sai kung is because I am afraid I am thinking about the wrong location.

wow...that is soooo tempting!!
 
My son goes to Tutortime in Kowloon Tong. He loves it. But it is also half-day only. As far as I know, because Tutortime run 5-6 nursery classes at the same time, it's easier to get in. But... morning classes are harder to get in than afternoon classes.

our nanny is great, so my son has an afternoon nap and goes to his extra-currirular activites that he picks.
 
yep, some nursery already told me that afteroon classes are still available but my daugher sleeps in the afternoon and I wouldn't like to pay to have her sleeping in school.
I know she will stop but I cannot force her.

Now I'll check Tutortime!
 
yes, so you can all imagine that if a kid goes to school from 1.45 pm to 4.45 pm the risk of sleeping for most of the 3 hours is big.

I am not saying I don't want her to sleep in school at all, but I'd prefer not to have her sleeping in school for one or more hours if she's there just for few hours.
 
Carang, the school does not look like a Cantones school..I mean, they talk about an English-Chinese curriculum...

Anyway it looks very nice and, by the way, I checked some properties in Saikung and they are much bigger than other houses around Hong Kong....
