[quote=Anonymous]We had this choice a couple of years ago and despite originally having a strong preference for Spanish (I speak it, though as a non-native, and my kids had a foundation in it from their nanny) we chose Yu Ying for the following reasons: We felt more confident in the school's administration/organization (granted, MV was just starting out, so that might be as big of a factor now), the facilities: Yu Ying has 2 great playgrounds as well as a nature center and woodlands on site they kids take advantage of throughout the day and aftercare (I understand MV has a new, permanent location now but still does not have an onsite playground or green space), the aftercare program itself which we use seemed higher quality with more interesting options, and the fact that Mandarin would be a much harder language to learn later in life than Spanish. My kids have a lot of continued exposure to Spanish and hope to study it as another language when they move on to DCI. I also didn't like that grade levels in the early childhood years were combined at MV (we had friends who left the school because of this, not sure if they still do it). I also prefer the IB curriculum and Yu Ying is actually, as another commenter noted, a very green school so there didn't seem to be much of a difference between the schools there. We have been thrilled with Yu Ying and so glad we made the decision we did, but both options are great schools so chances are no matter what you choose you too will be happy with your choice. The good news is they both will end up at DCI![/quote]
