Play while learning – that is the driving philosophy for Mando Kids Chinese Learning Centre. Mando Kids, focusing on Chinese Mandarin education for children aged 1 to 12, believe youngsters learn language through play. They learn how to interact with their environment and discover their interests through singing, storytelling and engaging in hands-on activities.<\/del><\/p>\n

Founded on the principles of play-based learning, Mando Kids utilized the extensive language-teaching skills and experiences of their staff. The instructors combine immersive content, engaging classroom experience and use a child-centred approach to empower the children as they acquire new language skills.<\/del><\/p>\n

There are many benefits to learning a new language. Languages are windows to different cultures, allowing us to connect with others from around the world. But learning a new language extends past just having a simple conversation or having access to different words, concepts, and metaphors.<\/del><\/p>\n

Multilingualism has a whole slew of incredible side effects: Multi-linguals\u00a0tend to score better on standardized tests<\/a>, especially in math, reading, and vocabulary; they are better at\u00a0remembering lists or sequences<\/a>, likely from learning grammatical rules and vocabulary; they are\u00a0more perceptive to their surroundings<\/a> and therefore better at focusing in on important information while weeding out misleading information. – The Atlantic<\/a><\/em><\/del><\/p>\n
