Curriculum
Our curriculum follows the school readiness guidelines with a Chinese or Japanese immersion language environment for your child to acquire a second language. Children learn the target language through literature, music, arts/crafts, themed study and other age-appropriate activities.
Free Choice Activity Time:
Children are encouraged to explore their own interests. They will select their own type of play from a variety of activities such as doing crafts, puzzles, drawings, and reading. Teachers work with children to develop social skills (how to make friends, how to share, how to resolve social conflicts, etc.).
Language Art:
Children learn Chinese or Japanese characters, numbers, shapes, colors, a weekly theme, and culture in their target language.
Group Learning Time:
Children explore a weekly theme through a variety of activities (art projects, science projects, musical projects, etc.). During this time, children learn expectations and rules for group behavior.
