Preschool

Lay a strong foundation and ignite your child’s interest for the subject

Our Curriculum Highlights

PICTURE-BASED CHARACTER LEARNING

Many young children find it challenging to recognise and remember Chinese characters. 

We use a fun and visual way of representing each Chinese character as a clever illustration that can make a memorable impression on the learner. This greatly improves the students’ word recognition ability.

THEMATIC & ACTIVITY-BASED LESSONS

Language is a living subject that is best taught through hands-on, experiential pedagogy.

The learning materials we use allow for lively and interactive lessons. The worksheets encompass Poetry (诗词), Character Strokes (笔画), Hanyu Pinyin (汉语拼音)  Rhymes (儿歌), Riddles (谜语) and Tongue Twisters (绕口令).
