Dear Parents

One language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way.

Frank Smith

When we learn a second language we acquire a new culture. And as we learn more about other cultures, it opens up a world of possibilities. It brings us closer to others, helping us to develop empathy, compassion, gratitude. We realise our connections as opposed to our differences. And when we do that, we create a more positive environment for everyone. As we support our children on their lifelong journey, helping them grow up bilingual is one of the best advantages we can give them.

Studies have shown that children who experience two languages from a very young age have a much higher chance of becoming effectively bilingual. And the earlier a child is exposed to other languages the better. Immersing your child within a fully Chinese environment during their preschool years will help them absorb Mandarin naturally. ‘Language is caught not taught’ has always been our philosophy throughout Julia Gabriel Education. But the advantage of a Chengzhu Mandarin Kindergarten education is that your child will receive the best of all worlds: a holistic preschool education in addition to dedicated language learning.

No matter what language you predominantly use at home within your family, you can feel confident that at Chengzhu Mandarin Kindergarten, your child will receive the best possible foundation in Mandarin and in life.

We welcome you to contact us to learn more about our approach and curriculum.

Top 3 Common Myths that Impede your
Child’s Ability to Master Mandarin

Top 3 Common Myths that Impede your Child’s Ability to Master Mandarin

Myth #1: There is no need for my child to learn Mandarin so early as they will learn it later during formal education.


The Truth: It is true that your child will learn Mandarin as a second language upon entering primary school. However, the difference lies in their ability to grasp the language effectively, as lessons will be more academically focused after preschool. This often puts stress on the child which can hinder their interest and focus.  Also, if your child does not achieve the grades expected, this is very likely to affect their self-esteem, lead to a lack of confidence and a complete lack of interest in the language. This is the last thing anyone wants!

Myth #2: The curriculum used for teaching is not important and does not impact my childs ability to learn Mandarin.


The Truth: This cannot be further from the truth! The curriculum, along with the teacher’s ability to engage and motivate their students, are major factors in determining the success of your child’s ability to master Mandarin. Children learn when they are happy, secure, motivated, encouraged and engaged.  

At Chengzhu Mandarin Kindergarten, we focus on providing an immersive Chinese environment, engaging students in stimulating, creative and fully interactive activities, including for example, drama, music and cultural arts, such as Chinese calligraphy and poetry. The curriculum and how it is imparted therefore is pivotal to cultivating a genuine and lasting interest in your child to learn Mandarin.

Myth #3: Learning Mandarin is most effective through a rote-learning method, i.e. memorisation.


The Truth: When children are young they learn best through meaningful activities they are actively involved in. Rote learning does not develop understanding. This traditional method of learning a language ignores the importance of ensuring that language is contextual, relevant and experiential. Children simply will not feel confident enough to use a language they do not understand.  

At Chengzhu Mandarin Kindergarten, every child learns in a natural way by listening to and speaking with strong language role models. When able to articulate thoughts orally with confidence and expression, strong reading and writing skills follow with greater ease.

Our Programmes

Chengzhu Mandarin Kindergarten’s curriculum has been specially designed to provide your child with a quality preschool education, conducted by highly qualified and experienced Standard Mandarin speaking early childhood educators.

Chinese Cultural Arts

With specialist educators facilitating the discovery and enjoyment of a host of interactive traditional Chinese art forms, including calligraphy, paper-cutting, dance, poetry, brush painting (水墨画) and Chinese cuisine, your child will develop a natural appreciation for Chinese culture and language.

Literacy

Our quality literacy programme is designed to immerse children in a language-rich environment. Through speech and drama, songs, games, stories and engaging conversation, students feel drawn into every activity, as their curiosity is sparked, helping them absorb language. A systematic yet enjoyable literacy scheme develops comprehension as well as reading and writing skills, enabling children to communicate confidently in all forms.

Mathematics

Our maths programme meets all the learning outcomes stipulated by the Ministry of Education, and provides plenty of opportunities for your child to practise, problem-solve and consolidate ideas and concepts.

At Chengzhu Mandarin Kindergarten, we also take time to explore the five strands of mathematical development that progressively increase in complexity as children move through their preschool years. These five strands are:

  • Numbers and Operations
  • Shapes and Space
  • Pattern and Function
  • Measurement and Data Handling

Our curriculum developers have structured each module along the same format as the Chiltern House Mathematics programme; a programme which has proven extremely successful in building our students’ knowledge and skills in the most engaging and enjoyable way.

This programme also includes Abacus and Mental Arithmetic, since both have strong cultural significance in Chinese mathematics.

Physical Education

A quality physical education programme benefits children in many ways besides improving general fitness, agility and co-ordination. In addition to developing fine and gross motor skills, our students learn to problem solve, build listening skills and comprehension through active participation and collaboration. Whilst enjoying a wide variety of activities, children develop peer appreciation and learn about the importance of team work.

English

In line with the Ministry of Education’s requirements for Chinese preschools, our students in K1 and K2 receive daily sessions in the English language. Our English programme, designed by curriculum specialists from Chiltern House Preschool, involves a variety of activities that focus on building excellent speaking and listening skills, effective vocabulary, and strong reading and writing skills. Our aim is to ensure that every child successfully develops the required literacy skills to succeed smoothly in Primary One.

It is literally the case that learning languages makes you smarter. The neural networks in the brain strengthen as a result of language learning. - Michael Gove
