Description

Dual language preschool program teaching academics and play-based learning in both English and Chinese. Curriculum uses hands-on, age-appropriate, playful activities and is carefully planned based on Dr. Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences. Program focuses on eight bits of intelligence which include linguistic, logical-mathematical, bodily-kinesthetic, spatial-visual, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist. Chinese is taught as a second language using parallel teaching. Children are motivated to learn at an individual pace and develop meaningful play experiences. Reading books is a highlight of the program, and emphasis is also placed on character education. Outdoor play space measures near 10,000 square feet and enables play in several settings as well as outdoor class instruction.
