Our K1 & K2 Prep ‘n’ Fun Programmes prepare children (5 and 6 yrs old respectively) for formal Chinese education in primary schools. We assign teachers trained in early childhood education to these classes, which are kept to a small ratio of 1:10. Tailored to their learning abilities, the programmes aim to interest the children in Chinese and build a strong foundation for further development.
