PRESCHOOL IMMERSION APPROACH 

The Children’s House program has a Chinese and a Japanese track. In both tracks, the target language (Chinese/Japanese) and English are taught all day. Classroom time also includes read-aloud sessions, cultural materials, and songs in Chinese/Japanese. In the afternoon, writing and reading in both the target languages and English are emphasized. Because of this emphasis, we require children who are no longer napping to stay until 3:15 p.m. We believe this 100% immersion approach is essential in enabling children to speak the language, and not just understand it.
