Explorer Mandarin Immersion

Based in California, Explorer Mandarin Immersion provides intentional early learning and care for children aged 2 - 6 years. The primary language of instruction at Explorer is Mandarin, allowing students to be immersed in Chinese language and culture, however families of all language backgrounds are welcome.

Explorer uses an emergent, play-based approach that emphasizes learning through curiosity, exploration and discovery. This philosophy inspires the learning spaces and child-centered approach, and the nurturing and passionate educators encourage children to be creative in all areas, whether it is problem solving or the expressive arts. Explorer's goal is for children to become lateral thinkers and to engage in meaningful social interactions.

Also central to Explorer's philosophy is the nature-based approach to learning, where early childhood and environmental education are fused in order to support the holistic development of the child, as well as help build a lifelong connection with the natural world. Explorer's indoor and outdoor spaces are designed to encourage children to investigate, discover and learn about their world.
