Pre-K

Perfect for ages two-and-a-half to five, Twin Cities-area Pre-K programs let the little ones soak up Chinese language skills as they play games, sing songs, eat snacks, and make new friends.

Mínghuì Yòuéryuán, Chinese for bright children’s garden, opened its doors in September 2007. This unique program for 2½ - 5 year-olds immerses children in Chinese language, cultures and traditions.  Learning Chinese is fun and happens naturally through games and movement, music, drama, arts and crafts, stories and food.  

Mínghuì Yòuéryuán provides a wonderful foundational experience in the Chinese language which prepares children for life-long language learning while also buildings skills needed for success in starting kindergarten and elementary school. The program is a natural precursor to Sēn Lín Hú, the Chinese Language Village, a Chinese language and culture immersion summer camp for young people ages 7-18.
