Nurturing Your Child’s Creativity

We provide a play-based, progressive program which emphasizes the full development of each child. Music, painting, shadow play, drama, art, dancing and other activities are used to enhance each child’s cognitive/intellectual and physical development.

Our Teaching Methodology

Inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, even the youngest children are encouraged to fully participate in their own learning process, through exploration of materials in the environment and by making their own choices about what interests them.

Teaching method focuses on multiple intelligences.
Home-school relationships and parent-teacher partnerships are of great importance.
Learning is documented by the teacher, who will provide regular feedback on your child’s progress.

Mandarin Immersion

In the classroom, children are taught in Mandarin, allowing them to learn a second language as naturally as they learn their first.

Early childhood is the optimal time to learn language.
Learning multiple languages has been shown to be beneficial to brain development.
With the strength of the Chinese economy and its growing international status, Mandarin is a language of the future.
