Mandarin Learning

Welcome to Smart Start Willetton's Mandarin Program!

At Smart Start Willetton, we are excited to offer a Mandarin preschool program led by a native-speaking teacher. Our program is designed to support native Mandarin-speaking children in developing and maintaining their language skills, while also introducing the basics of Mandarin to children who are new to the language.

​

Program Highlights

• Native Language Development: For children who already speak Mandarin, our program provides a rich environment to continue enhancing their language abilities. Through engaging activities, storytelling, socialising with other native speakers and interactive lessons, we ensure that their Mandarin proficiency grows alongside their academic and social skills.

• Language Introduction for Beginners: For children who haven't yet learned Mandarin, our dedicated teacher introduces the basics of the language in a fun and supportive setting. Using songs, games, and hands-on activities, we make learning Mandarin an enjoyable adventure.

• Cultural Enrichment: Beyond language, our program immerses children in the rich traditions and culture of Mandarin-speaking communities. This exposure fosters a deeper appreciation for diversity and global awareness.

Benefits for Your Child

• Cognitive Development: Bilingualism has been shown to enhance cognitive abilities, including problem-solving, critical thinking, and multitasking. Learning Mandarin, with its unique tonal and writing system, further stimulates the brain and enhances these cognitive benefits.

• Improved Academic Performance: Studies indicate that children who learn multiple languages often excel academically. Learning Mandarin can boost your child's performance in subjects like mathematics and literacy.

• Enhanced Communication Skills: Mastering Mandarin opens up new avenues for communication. Your child will have the advantage of connecting with a significant portion of the world's population, making them more confident and effective communicators.

• Cultural Awareness: Understanding another culture's language and traditions fosters empathy, tolerance, and a broader worldview. Your child will grow up appreciating the beauty of diversity and become a more open-minded individual.

• Future Opportunities: In an increasingly globalized world, bilingualism is a valuable asset. Proficiency in Mandarin can open doors to future educational and career opportunities, providing a competitive edge in the global job market.
