Bilingual (Mandarin & English) Kindergarten Programmes:

Kindergarten Programme Overview:  
EYM offers a unique educational experience that integrates the Montessori philosophy of child development with thorough second language acquisition. Children simultaneously become fluent in Mandarin and English, while learning about the world in an environment that encourages discovery and reflection. Our programmes have been deliberately designed to help children become constructive and creative thinkers, with a strong emphasis in independence and respect. They are developmentally appropriate and academically excellent. 

As educators who follow research-based standards, we fill our children's learning with both child-guided and teacher-supported experiences to support their physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and creative development. We see this as the best way to prepare them to embrace the opportunities and challenges of entering primary schools.
