From following a snail’s slow journey to watching fireflies glow, children will observe the world around them and engage with each topic through movement, storytelling, and creative interaction. Mandarin is naturally woven into the experience—children will listen, respond, and express themselves in a relaxed and joyful environment where language grows through play. From the snail’s slow crawl to the firefly’s glowing night, children listen to stories, play games, and create with their hands—discovering nature and picking up Mandarin along the way! Weekly Themes Include: 🐌 The Snail’s Slow Journey — Follow the little snail as it crawls slowly and feel the gentle rhythm of nature. 🌈 The Secret of the Rainbow — Use water and sunlight to create a beautiful rainbow! 🐝 Busy Bees at Work — Buzz buzz!
