Mandarin for Preschoolers
Saturday Classes for children ages 3 - 5
Mandarin for Preschoolers is a play-based program, designed for children of 3 to 5 years old. It is conducted in Mandarin in small groups. Our goal is for children to play to learn Mandarin and learn to play in Mandarin. No previous knowledge or skills in Mandarin is required. Mandarin daily usage is integrated in our curriculum through songs, rhymes, games, stories, dramatic play, block play and many other developmentally appropriate activities.
