Individual attention
At Purple Magpie Mandarin, we keep class-sizes small with a target teacher to student ratio of 1:4. Our goal is to ensure every child is getting the personal engagement they need to excel.
Chinese culture
Purple Magpie Mandarin embraces the best of Chinese history and culture to teach children about their heritage. Weekly activities, special events, and costumes make it fun to learn about Chinese customs and traditions.
Lunch included
Many daycares do not include lunch, so parents have to deal with the extra effort to pack a lunch every day. At Purple Magpie Mandarin, we believe it is important to provide a hot, home-cooked lunch!
Mandarin education
By creating a Chinese-speaking environment for children, Purple Magpie Mandarin teaches and reinforces Mandarin vocabulary and fluency. A combination of lessons and projects provide a strong basis for learning.
Selective peer group
Beyond high-quality education and childcare, Purple Magpie Mandarin is deliberate in our admissions process; we look to work with parents who believe in teaching children to be proud of their heritage.
Surround them with the peers and education to help them succeed.
Young children learn so much by osmosis in their formative years. Purple Magpie Mandarin helps surround them with the structure and lessons to help them understanding their heritage, and also a like-minded peer group to help them start on the right path to success.
