Our Mandarin Bilingual program provides children with the opportunity to learn Mandarin in an immersive, activity-based environment facilitated by our experienced bilingual teachers. No prior knowledge of Chinese language is required from either the child or the family.
Throughout the day, our program integrates Mandarin language through songs, poems, stories, and engaging activities. Repetition is important. We introduce topic groups like colors, family members, and fruits and vegetables, then reinforce them through various activities. This helps children solidify their understanding and retention of these concepts over time.
We believe kids learn Mandarin like they learn their first language—by hearing it, speaking it, and using it in conversation. This helps them grasp Mandarin's tones early on, which is key for mastering the language. Learning Mandarin as a child establishes a strong foundation for lifelong fluency, providing a valuable skill for non-native speakers.
We’re proud to share that acknowledgements and appreciation from current and previous Growing Tree families highlighting how valuable learning Mandarin has been for them. Many parents have expressed how our Mandarin program has not only enriched their child’s language skills but also provided them with unique opportunities for personal and academic growth. We look forward to enriching your child’s cultural learning through our Mandarin program!
