Available for levels Nursery 1 to Kindergarten 2
Our Preschool Programmes are specially designed for children from Nursery 1 to Kindergarten 2.
Lessons are structured around the goal of fully preparing our students for Chinese at the Primary school level. To enhance their learning experience, we create interesting training aids and incorporate stories, games, songs, music & movement into our teaching. Hanyu Pinyin is also gradually introduced to our students.
