WHAT WE DO
Buds & Blossoms is a Mandarin Immersion program, meaning when they walk through the door, they’re already starting on their jouney to learning Chinese! Our curriculum is built organically based on the children’s curiosity and imagination. Respecting each child’s interest and individuality, we encourage children to explore their environment and themselves. We offer a full day, Mandarin Immersion/Reggio Emilia Inspired child care center.

OUR EXPERTISE
MANDARIN IMMERSION
Buds & Blossoms is a Mandarin immersion childcare program. Children are immersed in the Chinese language the moment they’re greeted at the door. Learning tonal languages is easier for children, because they are more sensitive to differences in sounds. The younger a child begins learning, the more accurately they can replicate these sounds. Furthermore, this familiarity with tones and sounds can actually help cultivate musical ability in children!
REGGIO EMILIA
There is no set curriculum with Reggio Emilia. The classroom is constantly evolving and developing lessons based on, and guided by, the children's interest. Under Reggio Emilia, Teachers act as mentors and guides. Their role is to observe and listen to children’s inquiries and observations, and provide opportunities for them to further develop their own interests.
