[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like this thread has really gone off track from the OP's questions.

We are family who also just got lucky in the lottery and are deciding on whether to send our toddler to Yu Ying.

Like the other parent, what we want to know is whether the school is intentional about teaching the kids how to be kind to each other, nurturing the whole student in terms of their social skills and emotional management, including in the pre-k classrooms.  It is very valuable to us that the school teachers chinese, but I want to know about the fuller spectrum of teaching skills and curriculum that current parents have observed.

Thanks in advance for additional perspectives on those topics.[/quote]

Hey PP! Have you given up on this thread yet? It's gotten pretty sad, and unfortunately this is how it always seems to go with YY threads.

To bring it back to your question, though, we are a new PK3 family and never cease to be amazed at how great a school it is. YES, they absolutely nurture the whole student. The kids are really well taken care of. There is a lot of play and an emphasis on sharing, kindness, and cooperation. The teachers really know my DC and communicate with me about him daily (letting me know about days when he was grumpy/acting out, when he had to apologize to another student, when he had fun playing with a particular toy, and much more). It's been seven months and I'm still impressed with the school every single day. We put it at the top of our list for the Chinese, but now that I know the school better, I have to say I am mostly grateful not for the language (although it's cool!) but for all the other aspects of the school. I feel like I lucked into a private school that happens to be free.[/quote]
