Our Mission

Quality Child Care

We believe that children thrive in an environment which values their own uniqueness, while providing support and opportunities to grow emotionally, socially, and creatively. By building on each child’s unique strengths, interests, and curiosities we guide each child to explore the world around them as well as develop new abilities and form close relationships.

Our Founder

Ya Zhi He

Ya Zhi He taught Mandarin in the public school system in China and the United States. She has also completed ongoing professional education courses in the United States in Early Child Education (ECE).  Having also completed training on "Green practices" for day care providers, Ya Zhi takes pride in offering her students a safe, warm environment in which to learn and grow. 

Because most United States students don’t have a Mandarin Chinese background, Ya Zhi uses simple vocabulary and phrasing, along with songs, games, and hand crafts to teach students basic Mandarin Chinese listening and speaking skills. With this method, children become interested in subjects first, making learning easier and enjoyable.
