Reggio · Mandarin Immersion · Albany, CA
Where curiosity
speaks Mandarin.
A small, warm preschool for children 12 months to 5 years — where every child is truly known, and the language is woven through every day, in songs, stories, and play.
Learning That
Follows the Child
At Spring, children don't receive knowledge — they build it. Through projects, play, and daily life in Mandarin, each child develops at their own pace, in their own way, with a teacher who truly knows them.
The Child as the Starting Point
We don't begin with a curriculum. We begin with your child — their questions, their interests, their pace. Everything else is built around that.
The result: a child who pursues their own questions — with confidence. Curiosity as curriculumMandarin: Lived
Not Taught
Mandarin is the language of our daily life — songs, stories, play, and connection. Children absorb it naturally, the way all language is truly learned: through use, not instruction.
The result: a child who grows up with Mandarin as something familiar — not foreign. Fluency through living, not drillingLearning Made Visible
Through photos, dialogue records, and shared documentation, you see not just what your child made — but how they thought, what they struggled with, and where they grew.
The result: a child whose growth you can see, understand, and be part of. No black box. Full transparency
