Mandarin Seeds is a Mandarin Chinese language center that specializes in Mandarin education for early childhood. True to our slogan, "where Mandarin is a playground", our vision is to create a playful and full immersion environment where children will discover joy in learning Mandarin language and Chinese culture. Our teaching philosophy is discovery-based and child-centered. Each child is given individual attention; we respect different learning styles and the diverse backgrounds of our students. What we teach at Mandarin Seeds is beyond a language. We are opening doors and building bridges to connect our children to an increasingly globalized world, and helping them cultivate a lifelong passion and appreciation of the Chinese language and culture. Founded in 2008 by two New York City mothers who shared the same passion for Chinese language and started their first Mommy & Me Mandarin class for their own children. Today, Mandarin Seeds has expanded to offer Grownup & Me program, Immersion program for preschool age children, and after school Mandarin program for kindergarteners.
