Our Programs
Each of our programs are designed to support and nurture our students through their individual developmental, socio-emotional, and cognitive milestones and growth in an immersive, safe environment. We offer full time and part time infant, toddler, and preschool programs, with a low teacher to student ratio of 1:4.
Infant Program: 6 - 12 months old
Our infant program is designed to lay a solid foundation for Mandarin while supporting students at their young age. Students are completely immersed in Mandarin, as they are in critical age for language learning, from feedings to diaper changes to tummy time. Students are fully supported through all of their milestones while building a strong and secure relationship with our teachers.
Students at this very young age follow their own schedule (usually mirrored to their home environment), but can choose to participate in any activities they wish (most love sitting in during circle time and dancing along to songs!).
Toddler Program: 13 months - 3 years old
Our toddler program builds on the foundation from our infant program. As students learn to walk and talk, our program is designed to build a diverse vocabulary and cultural enrichment through themed circle time, story telling, meaningful interactions with teachers, Chinese cultural activities, and more.
We offer arts & craft, teacher-led activities, songs & dances to nurture students’ socio-emotional and cognitive growth, while gently guiding them through the changes and emotions they experience.
Our toys and books are rotated on a monthly basis to offer students variety to keep them engaged and help them discover new ways to interact with the toys. This helps them with their problem solving skills and encourages creativity.
Preschool Program: 3 years old - 6 years old
As students enter the crucial stage where language learning accelerates, our preschool program is tailored to help students further their Mandarin learning.
Students at this age begin putting their vocabulary that they’ve built together into sentences. We introduce Chinese characters (reading and writing), to help students build on their Chinese reading comprehension and writing.
More variety of age appropriate activities are introduced in this program to help their cognitive growth, such as STEAM toys/games, puzzles, bead necklace/bracelet making, painting, etc.
Students approaching TK/K age begin learning to write: the ABCs and numbers, their names, Chinese characters, and more. They also learn the phonics for the alphabet and learn to read basic words.
