Learning together with their parents, children can develop their interests in Mandarin through our immersive and playful learning environment.
We believe in having parents join classes as it helps them to understand the growth and progress of their children, as well as creates a wonderful opportunity for bonding time. It is the best way to start the journey of learning a new language.
Non-Mandarin speaking parents can also learn together with their children and we encourage you to practice together at home.
