Start Speaking Chinese from Childhood

We offer comprehensive Chinese language programs for children aged 3-12 years old. Our curriculum is specifically designed for two age groups: preschool (3-5 years) and school-age (6-12 years). Each program is tailored to the developmental stage and learning capacity of children in that age range. Younger children focus on basic vocabulary, pronunciation, and cultural awareness through play, while older children learn reading, writing, and conversational skills.

No, you don't need to know Chinese to help your child learn. Our experienced native Chinese-speaking teachers provide all instruction in the classroom. We understand that most parents don't speak Chinese, so we provide regular progress reports, practice materials with pronunciation guides, and homework support. Our teachers also offer parent workshops to help you understand how to support your child's learning journey at home, even if you don't speak the language yourself.

Most children begin using basic Chinese phrases and greetings within the first month of classes. You'll notice your child recognizing Chinese characters and understanding simple instructions after 2-3 months. Significant progress, such as holding basic conversations, reading simple texts, and writing basic characters, is typically visible after 3-6 months of regular attendance. The speed of progress depends on your child's age, frequency of classes, and practice at home. We provide monthly progress reports so you can track your child's development.

We maintain small class sizes to ensure every child receives individual attention and personalized instruction. Preschool classes (ages 3-5) have a maximum of 8 students per class, allowing teachers to focus on each child's pronunciation and engagement. School-age classes (ages 6-12) have a maximum of 10 students, which enables interactive group activities while still maintaining individual support. This small class size ensures that every child can actively participate, ask questions, and receive immediate feedback from our teachers.

Absolutely! We offer a completely free trial lesson so you and your child can experience our teaching style, meet the teacher, and see if our program is the right fit. During the trial lesson, your child will participate in a regular class with other students, giving you a real sense of how our classes work. After the trial, you can discuss with the teacher whether the program matches your child's learning style and goals. There's no obligation to continue after the trial lesson.

All learning materials are provided by the school and included in your monthly fee. This includes textbooks, workbooks, flashcards, practice sheets, and any additional resources needed for the lessons. We also provide access to our online learning platform where children can practice pronunciation, watch educational videos, and play interactive games. You don't need to purchase anything additional. We recommend having a notebook and pencil for taking notes during class, but even these are optional as we provide all necessary materials.

We use a game-based, interactive learning approach specifically designed for children learning Chinese. Our methodology combines traditional Chinese language teaching with modern educational techniques. We use songs, stories, role-playing, and interactive games to make learning fun and memorable. For older children, we incorporate reading Chinese characters, writing practice, and conversational activities. All lessons are conducted primarily in Chinese to create an immersive language environment, with English used only when necessary for explanation. This approach helps children develop natural pronunciation and understanding of Chinese language patterns.

We recognize that every child learns at their own pace, especially when it comes to learning a new language like Chinese. Our teachers are trained to adapt lessons to accommodate different learning speeds within the same class. We use differentiated instruction techniques, providing additional support for children who need more time, while offering enrichment activities for those who progress faster. Regular assessments help us identify each child's strengths and areas for improvement, allowing us to personalize the learning experience. If needed, we can also recommend additional one-on-one support sessions.

We primarily teach simplified Chinese characters, which are the standard writing system used in mainland China and increasingly recognized worldwide. Simplified characters are easier for children to learn and write, making the learning process more accessible and less overwhelming. However, we also introduce children to the concept of traditional characters and their cultural significance. Our curriculum focuses on practical communication skills, so children learn the characters most commonly used in everyday Chinese conversation and writing.

We understand that children may occasionally miss classes due to illness or family commitments. If your child misses a class, we provide make-up options including access to recorded lesson materials, catch-up sessions with the teacher, or the opportunity to attend a similar class in another time slot (subject to availability). We also send lesson summaries and practice materials so your child can review what was covered. Our goal is to ensure your child doesn't fall behind, so we work with you to find the best solution for making up missed content.
