Garden House Kindergarden vs Woodland Sai Kung Pre-School

We are new in HK and will be moving to Clearwater Bay, Silverstrand soon.



My daughter will go to Garden House Nursery first but then, in September, there is the choice of continuing with Garden House or going to Sai Kung Woodland.


I'm hearing that Woodlands are good and the chance of getting into esf will be higher but at the same time it will take my little one aprox 40min bus ride each way if she goes to Sai Kung Woodland. I have not heared anything about Garden House.


If you know or have heared anything about these schools or long commute for the little ones I'm looking forward to your inputs.


Thanks!

Thanks Cara but I need an English medium school.


On avarage we change/move to a new country in every 2 years. Though my native language is not English I prefer my kids to get an education in English so the next time we move there will be more choice for the schooling.


I heared good things about the Woodlands the only problem is the traveling time in school bus (aprox 40 min each ways) and I'm wondering if it's going to be difficult for a 3.5 year old?


I haven't heared any comments about the Garden House so I would appreciate it if anyone have any info about it.


Thanks

Silverstrand to Woodlands in Marina Cove is less than 10 minutes by car or cab. It's supposed to be an excellent kindergarten. Also good are the ESF kindie Abacus (which is also less than 10 mins from Silverstrand, in Mang Kung Uk), and the PPA kindergarten SKIP in Che Keng Tuk Road, about 15 mins from Silverstrand. SKIP is much cheaper, although a parent does have to help out for a session a week (at least, they did in my day). Either way, would check out that bus route, sounds like it does an awful lot of detours. Good luck!

Thanks Jane! When we move to our new place and get the chance to visit Woodlands I'll check the school bus route.

Just to clarify on the above point - Woodlands have no priority for getting into ESF schools. The only kindergartens that give priority for interview at ESF schools are the ESF Kindergartens.
