Integrated Mandarin

5811 S. Ellis Chicago, IL

9 mi

Integrated Mandarin incorporates Mandarin learning into your child's school curriculum. Students encounter the knowledge they learn in class in Mandarin simultaneously--and apply it immediately to their homework. Integrated Mandarin is developed by an University of Chicago alumnus with years of experience as an editor and education consultant in Beijing. It is based on the principle that achieving full language fluency requires meaningful engagement outside of the classroom. It recognizes at the same time that independent study suffers from the lack of contextual relevance, leaving students with minimum vocabulary and little intuition for how to navigate real world communication even after years of study. Integrated Mandarin is designed specifically to expose students to Mandarin within the structure and context created by their academic education. By reinforcing their day curriculum in Mandarin, student learn to think in a truly bilingual manner about the ideas they are encountering in their daily course of study. Competitively priced with regular child care, Integrated Mandarin includes after-school transportation to the University of Chicago campus site and has a flexible schedule to allow all learners to move at their own pace.

When I married, I started at home care for children (3 months to 10yrs). I grew up in a large family of 8 children. I have 24 nephews & nieces just on my side, with 12 great nephews & nieces under the age of 9yrs, and a new one on the way in September. I have watched and taken care of many little ones. My most recent, two small boys for the last 3 years. Dad is a Teacher and off with the boys for the summer. I like to be doing fun things with the children: parks, swimming, crafts, etc. I am current with my CPR certification. I am looking for the summer and to continue after. I would prefer my home during the summer, but open to your home, especially during the school year. I love children and have always been involved caring for them in some form since I was 10 years old.
