YouLe Mandarin Alive!
Adult-accompanied Playgroup
Mandarin Alive! is our signature adult-chaperoned playgroup created to bring Mandarin alive to infants and toddlers in a fun and enjoyable setting. Within this age group, children are at their most curious and perfectly primed for learning. It is THE golden window period for learning languages as your child’s mind can easily absorb, understand, and mimic words and tones when placed in the right environment.
“I really value YouLe Chinese Preschool Program as one of the smartest preschool classes in Singapore. I would say it’s a combination of Shichida, Julia Gabriel and Berries.“

What makes our Chinese playgroup for infants and toddlers so unique?
Mandarin Alive! introduces our young learners to elementary Mandarin and attunes their senses to the sounds and language flow in Mandarin. Using captivating picture books, melodic Orff music, hands-on artwork, purposeful play and multi-sensorial activities, we inculcate in our students a budding love for learning Mandarin.
At Youle, we also understand a child’s need for a sense of attachment before they feel secure enough to explore and interact with their environment. Thus, Mandarin Alive! is designed to be enjoyed by both the accompanying adult and child. This allows precious moments of parent-child bonding and shared experiences. Yet another great way for a parent to express their love for their child!
Happy Parents & Students
Our daughter Camille has been attending YouLe Mandarin since the age of 17 months. At first we were unsure whether a child could benefit from the parent-accompanied classes at such a young age, but after seeing the results, we wish we had started even earlier…
“I am very impressed with the progress Annabelle has made at YouLe. She started out staring blankly at me when I spoke to her in Mandarin and now she automatically speaks or sings to me in Mandarin… “
“We are so impressed with what Teacher Joanne has managed to do within 1 semester ! Our child has progressed from disliking mandarin to singing mandarin songs everynow and again!… “
