Yu Ying Yuan is a bilingual (Mandarin/English preschool) in Alameda, which is serving children from ages 2 to 6 years old.
Our activities aim to enhance early child development through a balance of play-based and structured learning. We advocate a holistic approach to create experiences and opportunities for children to explore, with wide-ranging activities to nurture their curiosity, skills along with goals, and aspirations for learning. We strive at all times to validate each child and help them grow into their full potential as unique individuals. Some Yu Ying Yuan classroom environments are child-directed as is the amount of time they spend on any given activity.
Our goal is to enrich all aspects of a child’s growth, including their social, artistic, physical, and emotional development. The benefits of a holistic approach for imagination, discovery, problem-solving, social interaction, language, and literacy development are limitless. We keep age and developmentally appropriate expectations in mind, teachers observe and take an active interest in each child’s individual progress as they strive to master different skills and learn new concepts. With the guidance of well-qualified teachers, children have the opportunity to creatively explore their environment. acquire tangible skills, and develop a strong sense of self-esteem.
We offer year-round programs to meet the needs of your family.
