Learn Mandarin Chinese as a Foreign Conversational Language in a fun and engaging way with us

Your child will learn in an immersion environment with their peers. Our programme provides your child with the opportunity to discover Mandarin Chinese in weekly sessions with their classmates or family. They will learn in a way that is meaningful and relevant to them as children, with fun social interaction, games, song and movement.

Your child can learn with us whether they have any Chinese heritage or not. We have families in the community with various native languages, including English, Te Reo Māori, French, Spanish, Korean, Turkish, Russian, Romanian, Cantonese and Tagalog.

  • We like that it’s Interactive and fun, the parent can stay to observe and learn along, and that it is a small group.

    Warren, father to a 4 year old boy

  • I think you guys do a great job. The cost is very affordable when you compare that to what we pay for dance and music and yet you offer so much resources, all of which so creatively executed to hold and maintain the kids’ attention….(I also) like that it’s friendly and inviting.
