Children’s Learning Center of Beijing (CLCB) was founded in 2002 and is a non-profit bilingual pre-school offering a high standard and diverse educational program to foreign expatriates in the heart of Shunyi District. CLCB’s teaching approach is child-centered, where children learn through structured play and activities. Our pre-school delivers high quality early childhood education services in a caring, secure and child-centered environment. We emphasize a “Happy Learning” philosophy which provides a meaningful and educational experience for all children. We believe a happy child will learn better and faster. In our classes, teachers use creative educational activities and games to encourage children’s natural curiosity and creativity and to develop their personal and social skills, inspire them with a life-long love of learning and enable them with confidence to fulfill their potential. CLCB offers a bilingual program (Mandarin and English) that is theme-based with an emphasis on developing the child’s social, emotional, physical and cognitive skills. Children learn through daily lessons to communicate in two languages. During their time at CLCB children will develop literacy (speaking, listening, reading and writing), mathematics, personal, social and emotional education, science, art and craft, geography, drama, music, cooking, physical education, ballet and Kung Fu. We also encourage the growth of creative and critical thinking by providing children with the opportunities to observe and ask questions about their world and the world around them.
