Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do you accept the NSW $100 Creative Kids Voucher?

A: Yes we do. Just forward us the voucher details and we will adjust your fee invoice accordingly.

Q: Is there parking at your venue?

A: Yes there is and parking is always available. We have unlimited free parking right outside our Kensington venue.

Q: How young can kids start your program?

A: They can start learning a language from as young as 12 months but we enrol kids from 2 years onwards only because they can sit, walk and respond to instructions better in our Butterfly class toddler program.

Q: Your term has already started. Is it OK if we start halfway? Will they miss out on anything?

A: You can start anytime during the term except for our YCT Program. The program goes for a year and the enrolment cut-off date each year is at the end of Term 1, depending on how quickly the student can catch up with prior missed lessons. The teacher will make an assessment during the trial class.

Q: Will my child be fluent after a term of learning Mandarin Chinese?

A: Unless you are a native speaker and speak Chinese to your child every single day, the answer is no. What we offer is an exciting head start for your child to acquite a second language.

Q: My child is already fluent in Mandarin but hates learning how to read and write at home. Can you offer any advise?

A: It is always challenging trying to teach your own kids Mandarin at home. Please contact us or speak to any our friendly teachers. We can offer a solution with our native speaker program.

Q: I'm not seeing any results?

A: Raising bilingual children requires patience, and there are going to be times when doubt sneaks in. As with most aspects of parenting, it's a long term commitment and there will be ups and downs. But remember, that's happening to the parents of monolingual children too! Don't worry if your child doesn't speak Chinese as quickly or as adeptly as his/her peers. Instead focus on their progress and marvel at the development of their little brain.
