Fun With Mandarin Preschool and Daycare (Capitol Avenue): Our Progressive Reggio Emilia Influenced Chinese (Mandarin) Immersion Preschool and Care Program  is for Infants through Kindergarten. We create a comprehensive physical, emotional, and intellectual environment to support linguistic and comprehensive development. We encourage children through a rich variety of outdoor and indoor experiences. We offer a community-supported, parent-involved approach that supports whole-child learning and development. Our city-center location near City College is easily reached by Highway 280, 101, and 19th Avenue. The Capitol Avenue building has over 3000 square feet indoor space and over 3,200 square feet outdoor. The building was recently built by early childhood educators. Our child-centered development approach is "Reggio Emilia Inspired". Still, we do our best to integrate the strengths of other Early Childhood Education philosophies, such as project-based, play-based, and collaborative learning, to build rich learning environments. Hours are 8:15 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. Monday to Friday. Children will receive healthy meals during the day which includes an am, noon, and evening snack. This is just one of the three options for two-day and three-day days. We offer rolling enrollment, but most students arrive in the fall and summer. We are proud to say that we combine Mandarin immersion with comprehensive development because our teachers have a high level of expertise and experience. We use a multi-dimensional, colorful theme-based approach that is designed to give you a great start in school. This confidence and independence are developed through a variety of hands-on and mind-on activities. This allows us to provide a good starting point for early learning. A wide range of collaborative and self-directed activities encourages the development of individual and interpersonal skills required for success in kindergarten and life. We believe that intrinsic curiosity and intelligence in children are very important. We see that as essential for kindergarten education. This will help children become creative and confident learners and achievers. Our school was designed to ensure that children are capable of learning in a fun and natural way while they grow and learn. This program is designed to help children grow in a comprehensive, active way. It is clear that language learning is an essential part of a child's early education. We have found that students often arrive with a wide range of Mandarin language abilities. Our program is open to all children, regardless of whether they are native speakers. It promotes diversity and encourages children to learn from each other. Other cultures and languages motivate children to explore and appreciate diversity. This promotes their health and well-being. For our children, the exploration and appreciation of other cultures and languages is a key component of their language learning. We take the comprehensive preparation of our school seriously. This includes a comprehensive approach that allows children to learn all of the need to be ready for their years of schooling. This program is tailored to ages, and it shows year after year that this approach works.
