I have searched for many year for a REAL Chinese language program where my kids will actually progress with the language and nothing tops ChinaKids in Chicago. It only focuses on Chinese and does not take a cookie-cutter approach to one of the most complex languages in the world. Little Linguist is not set up to "ladder" up the student to grade school years and the curriculum is not progressive. ChinaKids uses a proven curriculum developed by Columbia University and UN that ultimately prepares the student for more serious study, but the preschool program is designed for how toddlers learn. I highly recommend you visit the site, Chinakidsusa or call the school 312 226 3888 for a visit if you want the only language school in Chicago dedicated to the study of Mandarin Chinese.
Thanks for sharing this. I'm always looking for materials for my Chinese School class as well as my own kiddos. I'll take a further look at this website!
ChinaKids is the Best!
