Irvine Chinese School & Preschool

Jumpstart in Mandarin Learning

Young children’s brain is like a sponge, they constantly absorb information from the environment to make a scene of the world. Especially in language learning, studies have shown that the earlier a child is exposed to a language, the higher chance they can become fluent in the future. By learning Mandarin at a young age, we are giving children the opportunity to become familiar with the language and gain an appreciation for the Chinese culture. Learning a second language is not only giving children a tool for communication, but also opening a door for them to explore the world of wonder.

Planted in the well-established South Coast Chinese Cultural Center, Irvine Chinese Preschool opened in the fall of 2021 to serve families with young children, ages from 3 to 5 years old. It's fully licensed by the Department of Social Services as part of the Community Child Care Center.
