An introduction to Chinese characters and occasional sessions in Chinese folklore complete the cultural experience.

Early Learners (5 to 7 years)
This class is for all children between the ages of 5 to 7. The activities are similar to Preschoolers, including songs, stories, games and art projects, but will be conducted with a greater emphasis on improving the children's expressive skills in Mandarin.
