Hi Garden Girl and Daga,
I also could not use the "pm" option b/c I have not been a member of this forum long enough. I am relocating to Singapore (summer 2011) with my two kids, 4 yo and 2 yo, and would like to hear about what preschools (local vs. international) you ended up selecting.
I'm a little torn and overwhelmed by the amount of choices available and the process to make this decision. I'd like to have my children be proficient in Mandarin and be well-rounded with sports, music and academics. Should I enroll my oldest in an
International School and supplement with Mandarin classes every day? If so, what language companies would you recommend?
And for my 2 yo, should I send him to a different local school (better teacher:student ratio, language immersion, more nurturing classrooms)? Or am I better off sending them both to the same international school that serves preschoolers only?
Anyone have a short list of recommended preschools (local or international) you've visited and can share pros/cons?
We have an upcoming house hunting trip scheduled next month so a quick response with as much details as possible would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
