Our Chinese Preschool Programmes provide structured preschool Chinese tuition that lays the foundation for confident communication and future academic success. Specially designed by experienced educators, our classes introduce Chinese for preschoolers in a joyful, interactive way tailored to each developmental stage.
To enrich their learning journey, we use storytelling, music, games, and movement to make language acquisition fun and memorable. Hanyu Pinyin is introduced gradually, giving children a solid phonetic foundation to support reading and pronunciation as they grow.

Our Chinese Curriculum for Preschoolers
We use expressive storytelling to spark imagination and develop comprehension. Children are encouraged to listen actively, predict outcomes, and engage with the narrative, building core language and listening skills essential for beginners.
Music, rhythm, and fun are central to our lessons. Rhymes and action songs enhance retention and pronunciation, while games promote collaboration and joyful learning, making our Chinese curriculum for preschoolers both effective and enjoyable.
Children learn to trace, recognise, and recall key Chinese characters. As part of our structured preschool Chinese tuition programme, we use age-appropriate writing exercises and visual tools to build early literacy and boost writing confidence.
With painting, crafts, and hands-on play, children absorb Chinese words through real-world experiences. These tactile methods deepen understanding and make Chinese for preschoolers a natural part of everyday exploration.
