School Philosophy and Mission
We are a Pre-K - 8th grade Mandarin and English dual immersion program school where our students, beginning in Pre-K, spend half of their time in an English classroom and half of their time in a Chinese classroom with native speakers of each language. While learning both languages, our students are in a safe, fun, nurturing and caring environment. CAIS has a brand new Pre-K campus at 42-52 Waller street specifically designed for our youngest students. Pre-K starts at age 3 with a 2 year Pre-K program ( this is our main entry level) or at 4 years old where they will spend one year in Pre-K before entering Kindergarten.

My Year of Giving Thanks
A year is such a strange thing. It's hard to define, other than to say that it's (generally) 365 days long, or to assign some notion of time to it. Yet, the truth is, so much happens in a year that all those events and experiences seem enough for
Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?
What school type is right for your child? Is one model better than another? What does the research say?

Today's “Preschool’s Out” Activity
Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
