Chinese Preschool - Ignite The Passion for Mandarin Mastery

If you want to improve your child’s Chinese readiness for Primary School or their interest in Mandarin, consider EduGrove’s Chinese enrichment classes for preschoolers. Our programme captivates students’ interest from the outset, combining our award-winning methodology with interactive activities to establish a robust foundation in language learning.

Centred on honing listening and speaking before moving on to reading and writing skills, our Mandarin Foundation programmes aim to make learning the language a natural and enjoyable process. Establishing strong foundations in Nursery, K1 and K2 students during this developmental period is crucial for fostering a lasting appreciation for learning. As such, our programmes serve as a seamless transition between our Mandarin playgroup and your child’s formal education journey.

What You’ll Gain

Our Chinese enrichment class for preschoolers creates an immersive Mandarin environment where students learn through play, stories, songs, and interactive activities. This approach not only helps them develop a strong foundation in Mandarin but also nurtures their overall cognitive, social, and emotional growth.

Enhanced Listening and Speaking Skills

Through daily exposure to Mandarin in a fun and engaging setting, children develop a natural ear for the language and expand their vocabulary. They learn to understand instructions, respond to questions, and express their thoughts and feelings in Mandarin, building strong communication skills essential for academic and social success.

Early Literacy Skills

Our programme introduces children to the fundamentals of reading and writing in Mandarin. They learn to recognise and write Chinese characters, grasp basic grammar concepts, and develop phonological awareness, which is crucial for early literacy development. By building these skills early on, children are better prepared for formal reading and writing instruction in primary school.

Increased Confidence and Interest in Mandarin

Our immersive approach to learning fosters a love for Mandarin in children. As they experience success in communicating and understanding the language, their confidence grows. This positive experience encourages them to continue learning and exploring the richness of Chinese culture, setting the stage for lifelong language learning and cross-cultural appreciation.

Our Preschool Activities

EduGrove’s Chinese Enrichment classes for preschoolers utilise a variety of engaging activities to make learning Mandarin fun and interactive. Through hands-on experiences, interactive games, and creative projects, children develop a love for the language while building essential skills.

Circle Time

Language is best learnt when it’s used. Circle Time is a teacher-led discussion where students communicate in Mandarin, honing their listening and speaking abilities while exchanging thoughts and ideas. Through this interactive activity, students not only enhance their Chinese proficiency but also cultivate valuable presentation skills, confidence, and eloquence in language.

Story-Telling

With the aid of props and puppets, our teachers breathe life into stories, exposing students to a rich and diverse vocabulary, as well as expanding their language repertoire. This can lead to students improving their linguistic and listening comprehension skills, while igniting imagination and creativity. Moreover, this activity helps in fostering a deep appreciation for language and literature.

Active Learning Word Games

For preschoolers, learning through vocabulary games and interactive activities is not only fun and engaging, it is more effective! Students in our Chinese enrichment classes are encouraged to vocalise and apply keywords learnt while being challenged to think creatively.

Role-Playing Drama

Students immerse themselves in character roles as teachers prompt their creativity and problem-solving skills to devise alternate story endings. Encouraged to apply learned keywords, students express themselves in the language, ensuring a memorable experience that promotes long-term memory retention.

Show and Tell

Equipped with a handmade microphone, students get to hone their oratory skills and gain confidence in front of an audience. Teachers challenge students by asking them questions, encouraging them to think on their feet and apply the vocabulary they have learnt, all while having fun!

Reading And Writing Exercises

Reading rhymes and poems aloud helps students to recognise Chinese characters and keywords. Starting with basic strokes at N1, our enrichment classes help students learn how to write individual characters and progressively achieve writing whole sentences by K2.

Mummy of Sia Hui Yin, K2

Dylan does not speak Mandarin initially. But after attending EduGrove’s lessons for three months, he began to speak to us in Mandarin and started reading Chinese books. It has gradually built his confidence in writing and he is happy about going to school. Teacher Liu knows the importance of cooperation between parents and she makes an effort to let parents understand the subjects taught on the day after class. I would like to thank Teacher Liu for her care and guidance for the students. Thank you EduGrove.
