Worst experience and had to withdraw my kindergarten. The teacher was more of a daycare mentality and did old copies of worksheets and made them put their heads down in the desk for “calm” time. Worst experience ever.

My son currently goes to the school, and my daughter will too. My family loves the Mandarin immersion program. The teachers care about the students and they have fun teaching. I would highly recommend this school, and joining the Mandarin immersion program!

We have had a great experience here. Mrs Stein and Wu Laoshi were amazing kindergarten teachers. All the parents are very involved and the teachers are great. Learning languages at this age is so beneficial.
