80% Chinese Immersion

Our 80% Chinese immersion preschool provides a bilingual learning environment where 80% of the learning is conducted in Mandarin Chinese, while the remaining 20% is in the child's native language, typically English.

This approach helps young children develop strong language skills in both languages, while immersing them in Chinese culture and traditions. The hands-on project based curriculum focuses on language development, cognitive skills, problem solving, critical thinking, and social-emotional growth, offering a balanced, engaging experience that promotes fluency in Chinese alongside foundational knowledge in other subjects.

STEAM Focused

At Sleepy Tigers, we aim to nurture confident, creative, and compassionate learners who are excited to explore the world around them. We believe that early exposure to STEAM is the key to unlocking a lifetime of curiosity, innovation, and success.

Our STEAM-focused Chinese Immersion preschool program integrates Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics into everyday learning, providing young minds with the tools and experiences they need to thrive in a rapidly changing world

Guidance vs. Discipline

We create a nurturing space where learning happens naturally, with an emphasis on modeling positive behavior and empowering young minds. Through interactive hands on activities, we guide children to learn what they can do, rather than focusing on what they cannot do, fostering a sense of accomplishment and confidence.

With a focus on positive behavior, choice, and communication, we’ll help young children grow into a curious, confident, and compassionate learner. Together, we’ll spark a love for learning that lasts a lifetime.

Reggio Emilia Inspired

We set up the classroom environment as the 3rd teacher, In our Reggio-inspired classrooms, the natural elements, open-ended resources, and accessible learning spaces encourage curiosity, creativity, and collaboration.

In our Reggio Emilia inspired classroom, which places the child at the center of the learning process. Rooted in respect, responsibility, and community, this educational philosophy empowers children to be active participants in their own learning. We believe that children are naturally curious, capable, and resourceful, and our classrooms are designed to nurture and expand upon these qualities through rich, hands-on experiences.

Loving & Caring Teachers

We are proud to have a team of passionate, highly qualified native Chinese speakers, and dedicated educators who are committed to nurturing the growth and development of every child.

The cultural and linguistic richness of our program enhances the curriculum, providing children with a unique opportunity to engage with the language in a natural, meaningful way.

Small School, Big Family

We believe in the power of community. While we are a small school, we are a big family—a place where every child, parent, and teacher is valued and connected. Our tight-knit community fosters deep, supportive relationships that help each child feel safe, loved, and inspired to learn.

Here, children feel safe, supported, and inspired, while families are an essential part of the journey. We are more than just a preschool—we’re a big family, where every member is celebrated, and every step of your child’s development is supported with care and love.
