Testimonials from Parents about the CCEA Mandarin School:

"My child has finally started to enjoy learning Chinese because of her time at New Sprouts. She gets to do arts & crafts, sing songs, and have fun as a kid all while she's learning Mandarin! I would recommend this program to all my friends. What was challenging for me as a parent was trying to help my child with homework since I don't speak Mandarin but their online learning program has really addressed this issue for me. It'll teach the child (and parent) how to pronounce properly, as well as how to write the characters in the right order. To me, this was huge. Both my kids, including a younger one that isn't enrolled yet, would watch the lessons over and over again because it was simply fun for them. We all are truly enjoying the fun curriculum offered at New Sprouts." -- May W., 3/2009

Testimonials from Parents about Our Mandarin Summer Camp:

"Our son Benjamin and several of his classmates from PRINTS attended your summer camp last year and had a great time. My mom ended up volunteering for most of the two weeks time Benjamin was at the camp. She enjoyed it and has only good things to say about the camp. She is a past educator herself. So congratulations on the continued success of school!" -- Ji W., 3/2009
