Why Learn Chinese Language?

Unlike English, Spanish, and most languages in the world, Chinese is a tonal language.  Here are the reasons for learning a tonal language:

• Tonal Languages Use Both Sides of The Brain (https://www.languagemagazine.com/tonal-languages-use-both-sides-of-the-brain/)

• Chinese Speakers Use More of Their Brain Than English Speakers (https://qz.com/351392/chinese-speakers-use-different-regions-of-their-brain-than-english-speakers/)

• Speak A Tonal Language Primes The Brain for Music Training (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/04/130402182640.htm)

• Mother Tongue May Determine Maths Skills (https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn9422-mother-tongue-may-determine-maths-skills/)

Other Reasons for Learning Mandarin Chinese

On the website of World Languages & Literatures Department of Boston University, they give out some reasons:

• China is one of the world’s oldest and richest continuous cultures, over 5000 years old.

• China is the most populous nation in the world, with 1.28 billion people.

• One fifth of the planet speaks Chinese. Mandarin Chinese is the mother tongue of over 873 million people, making it the most widely spoken first language in the world.

• In addition to the People’s Republic of China and Taiwan, Mandarin Chinese is also spoken in the important and influential Chinese communities of Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, the Philippines, and Mongolia.

Loving Teachers 

What Makes Us Unique?

• We provide immersion Chinese language teaching as a big plus service without extra charges
• Although Chinese language learning is one of the focuses of the program, we offer a developmentally age-appropriate balanced curriculum (approved by EMU professors), which incorporates speaking, reading, mathematical, and critical thinking skills. The character building activities enhance your child's self-esteem and encourage good moral habits. By providing high-quality child care, May and her assistant teachers will well prepare your child for entering kindergarten and future successes.  As a matter of fact, one of our daycare children, Lorraine Smith, was admitted to Emerson School of Ann Arbor with full scholarship in September, 2012!
• Our program has been observed and approved by college professors and the experts from Council for Professional Recognition (http://www.cdacouncil.org/)
• Highly qualified teachers with degrees in early childhood
• Small group size and low teacher-child ratios mean lots of individual attention for your child’s safety and education.  Our teacher-child ratios 1:2-1:6, while big centers’ 1:4-1:15!
• Our environment is home-like rather than institutional.  The comfortable household furniture and equipment give the children homey feeling and reduce their stress and separation anxiety.
• Our location is perfect for outdoor exploration.  Mallets Creek Public Library, Cobble Stone Farm, Buhr Park, Rose Park, and County Farm Park are all within 5 minutes walking distance. When the weather is good, we often go to attend the library’s preschool events, visit the famous farm, and have field trips in the parks. We bought a 6-seat stroller just for this purpose.
• We often clean our toys, carpets, and equipment to prevent diseases.
