Afternoon Mandarin Programme
(Nursery 2 – Kindergarten 2)
As we build on the children’s competencies and innate curiosity in the world around them, we continue to develop the children’s interest & foundation in the Mandarin Language through the afternoon program. Our long term goal is to work towards a significant improvement in the acquisition and usage of the Mandarin language not just with the Mandarin Teacher but also in our children’s daily conversations amongst themselves.
The afternoon program is committed to a further emphasis on literacy and numeracy. Work samples and observations by the Mandarin Teachers will become a focal point for sharing, discussing and reflecting with parents to work in partnership and to support the child’s progression in school.
Portfolios containing ongoing observations of our children’s learnings and progress are maintained throughout the school year. These portfolios are shared with the family during the sharing sessions between the staff, parents and children that are held twice a year and create opportunities for rich dialogue between parents and teachers. Also, families are invited to attend the Parent-Teacher Conferences and receive a written progress report at the end of the year

Shiying and Dayne, Parents of Hailey Ho, Zhong Hua
One thing that stands out about EtonHouse Zhong Hua is the continuity and consistency of the teachers and management. This provides a stable environment which we feel is important for a young child. We also appreciate the regular communication from the school — whether it's updates, parent-teacher meetings, or events that allow us to be involved in Hailey's education. Seeing her come home each day with joy in her eyes and endless chatter about her day reassures us that we made the right choice. Read more here
Tiffany & Wee Kee, Parents of Myra Chew You Ning, Zhong Hua
Our foremost reason for sending both our children to EtonHouse ZhongHua is solely for the Full Mandarin Immersion Programme. As we do not speak Mandarin regularly at home, we really appreciate that the curriculum is delivered entirely in Mandarin by native Mandarin-speaking teachers from China, Taiwan and Singapore, and we firmly believe that this is the best way for children to use and love the language which is not the easiest of languages to pick up.
