KINDERGARTEN 2
Our Kindergarten 2 Prep ‘n’ Fun Programme prepares children (6yrs old based on year of birth) 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 programme aims to interest K2 children in Chinese and build a strong foundation for further development.
