Bilingual Buds

With China now boasting the second largest economy in the world, kids who become fluent in Mandarin may have an upper hand when they enter the workforce one day. Bilingual Buds offers full-immersion after-school programs in which kids draw pictures and sing songs to learn the language. Children ages one to three begin building fluency in the Mommy and Me Mandarin Program, which features guided play and the use of props, like puppets, instruments and arts, to spark tots’ interest in the language. Ages 1 to 10.
