May’s Chinese/English Child Development House (http://www.mayschineseschool.com/)

We use Michigan ELE Standards to teach your child with immersion Chinese language education as a big plus service!

Mastering multiple languages is becoming more and more important in this very competitive and ever-globalizing world. Since China has the fastest growing economy in the world, the Chinese language has become one of the fastest growing foreign languages here (for more info, please go to: http://www.askasia.org/chinese/news3.htm). Learning a new language is much easier for kids than it is for adults. So, that’s why we open a Chinese/English bilingual daycare to help young children build brighter futures.

Although Chinese language learning is the focus of the program, we offer a developmentally age-appropriate balanced curriculum (approved by college professors), which incorporates speaking, reading, mathematical, and critical thinking skills. The character building activities enhance your child's self-esteem and encourage good moral habits. By providing high-quality child care, May and her assistant teachers will well prepare your child for entering kindergarten and future successes.

This is a group child care, which is located in a quiet, safe, and nice neighborhood with spacious living and yard/play areas. We welcome children from all ethnic families, including full/part timers, and before/after school kids.
