Sensorial Area
Children learn to distinguish between objects by height, weight, width, shape, color, sound, taste, smell and texture. Through orderly use of scientifically designed materials, the child’s senses are sharpened and refined. This area also provides a foundation for higher math concepts.
Language Area
Children acquire skills for oral and written language through sharing of spoken thoughts, feelings and ideas. Children gain enjoyable and purposeful experiences as the develop skills for reading and writing through guided use of materials.

Children learn Mandarin words and phrases through singing, dancing, listening to stories and practicing on learning materials.
