May’s Chinese-English Child Development House

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. 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 is the focus of this program, we offer a developmentally age-appropriate curriculum, 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, we 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.
