Why Reggio Emilia?
Because it is child-centered. It is all about your child, his interests, his needs, and his growth.
-
A Reggio Emilia classroom environment fosters learning through a thoughtful use of natural light, space and color
-
Parents and teachers collaborate to tailor lesson plans to children's individual needs and interests
-
Children engage in long-term, multi-disciplinary projects (such as growing plants from seedlings) for deep, holistic learning
-
Children are encouraged to engage in multiple forms of self-expression: Drawing, sculpture, dramatic play and writing
Why Mandarin immersion?
Because learning a second language is proven to give your child a leg up across every aspect of life.
-
The cognitive benefits of learning a second language in early childhood are well researched.
-
Studies show that it increases executive functioning, problem solving, and mental flexibility.
-
Bilingual students outscore their monolingual peers in standardized testing, and they maintain focused attention better than other students.
-
A second language also gives students broader career and life opportunities as adults and the skills to travel and connect with the world as global citizens.
