About Us
Mandarin is beneficial as it opens opportunities in our lives. Yet, few can articulate in Mandarin like native speakers, although we learnt the language in school growing up. Fluency requires learners to embrace language as a tool to communicate. It is best taught not through the traditional classroom approach but by using it in our daily routine.
This inspired us to start The Early Chapter, a Clubhouse for children filled with fun ‘Play and Learn’ activities for Chinese language learning. We aim to inspire children to speak Mandarin through Fun Based Learning during the Language Sensitive Period of 0-6 years old. Our goal is to nurture their interest in the Chinese language from the most developmental stage of lifeTHE EARLY CHAPTER’s first Clubhouse was opened on 20th November 2021. It is a clubhouse for children filled with fun play and activities.
The goal is to nurture their interest in the Chinese language from the most developmental stage of life. We aim to create a fun and enjoyable community where children immerse in the use of the Chinese language as they embark on a world of exploration, creativity, and camaraderie.
The Chinese Language has been growing in popularity over the last decade, in both local and global communities. The Early Chapter has observed that there has been an increasing number of requests for Private Chinese Lessons in Singapore. This is fueled by 2 main factors:
- With China’s rising influence in the world economy (now the 2nd largest player), the importance of mastering the Chinese language has been recognized by both parents and schools as an important skill set for students to have a competitive advantage over his/her counterparts in future.
- Despite learning the Language in Pre-School or Childcare or Enrichment Centers as young as 2-year-old, many Children are still not speaking Mandarin.
