Ages 3-5: Preschool Classes

These highly interactive classes are immersion-based and include lots of fun and creative activities to capture your child’s imagination in learning and interacting in Mandarin.

These sessions develop strong listening and speaking skills in Mandarin. Adding a further layer to learning, we also start to introduce basic characters (radical characters) and numbers.

This program involves activities such as puppet shows, mini yoga time, dramatic play, language games, and much more!

• Small classes with a maximum of 8 students
• Fun immersion bases activities like puppet shows, storytime and role-playing.
• Workbooks and learning resources to help reinforce language skills.

We choose a range of activities to deliver our themes, including sensory-based play, mini science experiments that help to develop your child’s science inquiry skills, cooking, short stories, rhymes, singing, dancing, puppet shows, dramatic play, arts and crafts.

All of the activities we plan and deliver for our classes reinforce the theme and vocabulary taught for the week. Our dedicated workbook activities also contain 30+ learning activities that not only develop your child’s Mandarin Chinese language skills, they are also specifically designed to develop cognitive skills and early years based literacy and numeracy concepts including pattern awareness, measurement and spatial knowledge

Over a typical 3-year playgroup program with Mandarin Stars, our students develop both a love for and inquiry-based approach to learning. Our young learners start to lay the foundations to be successful communicators, successful learners and open-minded citizens. They also learn over 240 vocabulary along with a broad range of phrases and sentence structures related to self-introduction topics and child-centred themes, and also the basic introduction of reading and writing Chinese characters in a fun and immersion-based Mandarin Chinese language setting.
