Early Childhood
Educational Philosophy
Our Toddler and Preschool students develop practical life skills in a joyful, stimulating environment. They are immersed in Mandarin inside and outside the classroom, in our wonderful garden and playgrounds. Our Reggio-Emilia approach and small class sizes allow teachers to invite children to discover their interests and develop their ideas.
Our Pre-Kindergarten students take off on their journey of Mandarin literacy. In our Pre-Kindergarten 1 class, students learn to recognize more than 30 Chinese characters and continue making progress with their oral communication skills. In our Pre-Kindergarten 2 class, students continue learning to read and begin. By the end of the year, children will recognize more than 100 Chinese characters and write 20 characters.
