A Joyful Start to Mandarin Mastery
Chengzhu Mandarin Centre believes that every child can develop a passion for Mandarin by providing them with the right foundation early on. Whether your child speaks Mandarin at home or is just beginning their language journey, Chengzhu’s unique approach makes learning Mandarin exciting and accessible for all.
Through the innovative EduDrama® methodology, children don’t just learn Mandarin – they experience it through interactive activities such as role-play, storytelling, creative expression, collaborative discussions, and language-based tasks.
This immersive environment helps children build not only language skills but also a genuine connection to the Chinese culture. By exploring cultural concepts through drama, traditional music, dance, calligraphy, and crafts, children learn Mandarin in context, giving them an understanding of the language’s richness and depth.
With strong fundamentals in place, children progress into their primary years ready to perform, achieve, and excel academically in Mandarin.
Programmes Designed for Every Stage

From PlayNest for infants as young as six months, to the Language Skills and Creative Writing programmes for primary school students, Chengzhu Mandarin Centre caters to every stage of a child’s development.
For toddlers (6 months to 3 years old) in the PlayNest and PlayClub adult accompanied programmes, Mandarin is introduced through music, stories, sensory play, and creative activities that spark curiosity and foster a love for the language.
As children move into the Foundation Years Programmes (3 to 6 years old), they engage more deeply with the language, building vocabulary, mastering simple characters, and developing early reading and writing skills.
When children reach the School Years Programmes (7 to 12 years old), Chengzhu Mandarin Centre ensures they are ready for the demands of the school curriculum and beyond. These MOE-aligned programmes provide a balanced mix of language skills, comprehension, composition, and oral communication.
Whether it’s through reading comprehension tasks, oral expression, or writing creative stories, students are thoroughly prepared for the Chinese PSLE while also enjoying the process.
