Why Mandarin?
At The Rhoades School, we are excited to offer a fun and interactive Mandarin language program as part of our preschool curriculum. Learning a second language at a young age is a proven way to boost communication skills, cognitive development, and cultural awareness!
Children enjoy sessions filled with songs, stories, and activities like arts and crafts, traditional dance, and games. These activities help kids learn Mandarin words and phrases while playfully exploring the culture. Our skilled teachers use simplified Mandarin characters, making it easy for beginners to follow.
This program is a great way to help your child build language skills and explore a new culture!
