What this means
The teaching approach
An outdoor/nature model spends much of the day outside in all weather, using nature as the primary classroom. Play-based means children learn through free and guided play — social skills, problem-solving, and early academics emerge through play rather than direct teaching.
The language model
This school teaches in Mandarin but isn't a full immersion program — Mandarin is woven in alongside English rather than being the main language of instruction.
Tuition shown is as of 2024 and may have changed — confirm with the school.
Good questions to ask on a tour
- 1What does a typical day look like, and how much of it is child-chosen play vs. teacher-led?
- 2What does extended care look like, and is it available every day?
- 3Beyond the listed tuition, what other fees should I expect (application, deposit, materials, field trips)?
- 4How do you handle the transition for children starting mid-year or moving up from a younger classroom?
- 5What is your potty-training policy, and how do you support children who are still learning?
- 6How do you handle discipline, conflict between children, and big feelings?
- 7How much of the day is in Mandarin, and do children need any prior exposure to the language?
- 8Does having an infant/toddler program give siblings priority or a guaranteed spot later?
- 9What is your application timeline, and when do families typically hear back?
- 10How large is each class, and what is the teacher-to-child ratio?
