A novel way to teach Chinese language to preschoolers

 

Learning centers in both Naperville and Schaumburg are planning a unique way to introduce area children to China's Mandarin language at a very young age this fall.

 

Beginning Sept. 8, a KinderCare Learning Center in Schaumburg and a Knowledge Beginnings center in Naperville will offer an immersion program in Mandarin for 3- to 5-year-olds.

 

Their parent company, Knowledge Learning Corp., has selected only five locations across the nation to host this program.

 

Patricia Koh created the Mandarin bilingual immersion program 20 years ago in Singapore, and is now bringing it to these limited locations in the United States.
