OTTERS CLASSROOM

Low staff to child ratio: one to four

Older infants are ready to explore their world and are becoming more adventurous as their increasing mobility allows them to have new experiences. They are very curious and will actively investigate objects and people in their environment, while still needing the security that familiar adults provide.

Under close supervision, our little ones are given space to practice their fine and gross motor skills with lots of Pincer activities, child-led feeding, open-ended play space and music with movements.

MOOSE CLASSROOM

Staff to child ratio: one to five

In the Moose classroom, children build on the social skills they’ve begun developing with their peers and teachers. Through play and daily routines, they practice using words to ask for a turn, tell a friend how they feel, or offer help. Teachers give children time to practice waiting, listening, and noticing how others feel.

We also make room for creativity and age-appropriate challenges. A child might try a new way to build a tower or take a first turn on a balance course with a teacher nearby. Amazing Athletes of Oakland introduces basic sports skills through playful activities that build coordination, while JAMaROO Kids encourages children to express themselves through songs, rhythm, and movement. These experiences give children more ways to try something unfamiliar and build confidence at their own pace.

Preschoolers (36+ months) $2600/month

RHINOS CLASSROOM

In the Rhinos classroom, preschoolers are becoming more independent and learning how to be part of a group. They practice using words to work through disagreements, taking care of their own needs, and noticing when a friend needs help. Our teachers offer just enough challenge for children to try things on their own, make choices, and build the confidence to try again when something is hard.

Mandarin is woven throughout the day, and traditional Chinese values help shape how we care for one another. Children practice kindness, respect, loyalty, and humility in everyday moments, from making room for a friend at circle time to working together to care for their classroom.

Our enrichment programs give children more ways to learn through play. Amazing Athletes of Oakland introduces a variety of sports and helps children build coordination and practice teamwork. JAMaROO Kids brings music and movement into the classroom through songs, rhythm, and dance. Together, these experiences help children build the independence, confidence, and social skills they’ll carry into kindergarten.

PANDAS CLASSROOM

Staff to child ratio: one to six

Our newly launched Transitional Kindergarten (TK) program helps children get ready for kindergarten in a warm, playful setting. With a small class of 12–18 children, teachers can get to know each child and support their growing independence. Mandarin remains the primary language in the Pandas classroom, and we introduce English through stories, songs, conversations, and early literacy activities. Children also practice following group routines, working with classmates, and taking care of their belongings.

Learning is hands-on in Pandas. Children practice early math by measuring ingredients in cooking projects, explore how things grow in the garden, and get creative with Chinese calligraphy. Music, dance, and sports give them opportunities to move and play together. Little Medical School, offered exclusively to our TK Pandas, introduces children to the human body, health, and medicine through playful STEM activities.
