[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've enrolled PK3 at CMI and are #4 on the waitlist at YY. We are extremely interested in immersion, which is why we listed YY and MV higher than CMI. (Husband is native Spanish speaker; stepson's mom is Chinese, so he speaks some Mandarin and Spanish.) I'd appreciate thoughts from those who have kids enrolled as we'll need to make a decision within 24 hours.

That seems like an odd question, OP.  I've known lots of shy and high-achieving kids at YY who are socially engaged and intellectually challenged.  I wouldn't say that's how their parents described them when they were 3 y.o. though.  Overall, I think it's a great environment for children to receive an extra educational boost.  The cognitive benefits of bilingualism, and learning a second language early have been researched, it benefits more than just the language centers of the brain.

My DCs class has a few children with one or more parents who speak Chinese and are happy with Yu Ying.  It's too bad about the other poster's experience but you can't please everyone.  Some you're better off without. [/quote]
