The Ya Ya JourneY
begins when a young child joins our preschool program at the tender age of two years old. We follow the standard early childhood benchmarks in guiding our children to develop their skills in all areas - cognitive, social-emotional, math, physical, language, and early literacy skills. After completing their Pre-K year at Ya Ya, our student graduates will have acquired the academic and life skills that they need to thrive in Kindergarten and beyond. Last but not least, a Ya Ya graduate stands out as a well-rounded bilingual student who is ready to continue their journey with confidence in any ongoing school.

Program Benchmarks by Age
At Ya Ya Preschool, we group the children into classes, usually within the age gap of 1 year or less. In a typical school year, there may be a young twos class, an older twos class, a threes class, and a fours mixed with older threes class. Our teachers have been rigorously trained to differentiate teaching for each child based on the benchmarks in each developmental area. They are experienced in meeting each child’s individual needs and supporting them to reach their maximum potential.
All the programs follow the Ya Ya Curriculum which is well-known to have an outstanding and robust Chinese language component. With the hands-on support of our exceptional education leadership team, we are able to ensure consistent lesson planning across all the classrooms.
