About Us

Philosophy

At New Journey Mandarin Immersion Preschool, our curriculum blends Project-Based, Play-Based, Nature-Based, Montessori, and Reggio-inspired approaches. We believe children learn best through meaningful, hands-on experiences that spark curiosity, creativity, and joyful exploration.

We see children as curious thinkers and active learners who build knowledge through purposeful play. Each experience-whether exploring nature, building with blocks, painting, or storytelling-helps them develop confidence, problem-solving skills, and a lifelong love of learning. We also nurture a growth mindset, encouraging children to try new things, see mistakes as opportunities, and keep practicing so they understand that their abilities grow stronger through effort and persistence.

Our classrooms are designed to inspire discovery and independence. Children engage with open-ended materials, imaginative play centers, creative art and sensory activities, and outdoor adventures that connect them with the world around them.

We care deeply about children’s overall well-being, we offer delicious and nutritious meals and snacks for your growing child.

At New Journey, we nurture the whole child- mind, body, and spirit in a warm, culturally rich Mandarin immersion environment where every child can explore, grow, and thrive at their own pace.

Curriculum

New Journey Mandarin Immersion Preschool is a high-quality, 100% Mandarin immersion program for children ages 3 months to 6 years old. We provide a safe, fun, educational, and stimulating environment where every child can learn and grow through meaningful experiences.

Our curriculum offers developmentally appropriate learning opportunities that nurture each child’s curiosity, confidence, and love for learning. We believe the early years are a time of rapid growth and discovery-when children are eager to explore, practice new skills, and express their unique strengths and talents.

Our goal is to ensure that every child receives creative, engaging, and purposeful learning experiences that support their physical, intellectual, social, and emotional development. Through play, exploration, and hands-on instruction, children build the foundation for lifelong success-both in school and beyond.
