The Story of
Ya Ya Mandarin Seeds
It all started in 2008, when two NYC moms began teaching cozy Mandarin music classes for their toddlers and a few friends in a yoga studio. Those first “Mommy & Me” classes were full of music, movement, and joy — and families couldn’t get enough!
As their own children grew, so did the program. Mandarin Seeds expanded to include enrichment classes for preschoolers and elementary-aged kids, all built on the same playful, engaging approach that makes language learning fun and meaningful.
The result? A trusted, joyful Mandarin experience that has captured the hearts of families across New York City.
Today, all Ya Ya Mandarin Seeds classes are still led by the same experienced, caring team — and are now offered at Ya Ya Preschool and select partner locations.
