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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
After participating in EduGrove’s Chinese classes, our daughter, Hui Yin, achieved the following:
Thank you for your guidance.
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.

EduGrove’s way of conducting Chinese lessons requires a very special breed of Chinese teacher. They are dedicated educators focused on meeting the needs of every class as a whole and every individual student in their care. Essentially they take on the role of form teachers. Working closely with parents, EduGrove teachers are concerned as much with the holistic development of their students as they are with nurturing and improving their Chinese studies.
Our teachers are also able to communicate with English-speaking parents and work closely with them to improve their child’s Chinese language abilities.
EduGrove has helped thousands of students not only achieve success in their Chinese grades but also fall in love with the language through our simple yet revolutionary approach. Voted by parents annually as the best Chinese enrichment centre in Singapore and having won the Industry Star Promising SME 500 Award, EduGrove is one of the leading providers for Chinese enrichment lessons.
As the only Chinese enrichment centre that offers specialised classes for students from playgroup to secondary, EduGrove’s team of specialist curriculum writers and teachers are experts in helping every student from each age group achieve their full potential in the Chinese language.
If your child requires something a little different from the norm, be it to focus on composition writing or one-to-one tutoring, we are able to tailor a specific plan to suit their needs.
Through updates and feedback after each class, teachers work hand-in-hand with parents to ensure their child’s positive progress. We track the progress of each student, cultivating their strengths and identifying areas for improvement. Regular evaluation allows teachers to adjust the goals for each student according to their learning style.
We aim for big successes but keep our class sizes small. With a maximum of 12 students per group, teachers are able to pay close attention to the needs and development of every student in their care. Each classroom has a dedicated area for drama and games, as well as desk-bound activities. Teaching takes place in spacious, light-filled studios, equipped with state-of-the-art learning tools, enabling students of all ages and levels to play, discover, and thrive in a truly conducive learning environment.

We use drama, word games, and creative activities interactively not only to excite, motivate, and inspire, but more importantly to coax the students to vocalise and apply the keywords and phrases taught. These dynamic learning tools also help students remember more effectively.
Learning a language doesn’t have to be a chore.

Our curriculum is designed to ignite every student’s desire to learn, which means every activity is designed to be FUN!
