EduGrove by Changemakers (\u521b\u5b66\u82d1)<\/span> provides Mandarin Playgroup classes for 1, 2, 3-year-old toddlers \u2013 we welcome students from as young as 7 months.<\/p>

Voted the best Chinese Enrichment Centre 7 years in a row<\/a>, and recognised with the Industry Star for Tuition & Enrichment, EduGrove by Changemakers (\u521b\u5b66\u82d1)<\/span> has helped thousands of children take their first steps in learning Chinese.<\/p>

PlayGrove toddler sessions immerse children in an all-Chinese environment. We use songs, stories, and lively speech that train their ears to Chinese sounds and intonation, setting a foundation for a natural understanding of the language.<\/p>

All Chinese playgroup sessions at our centres across Singapore are led by experienced early childhood educators fluent in the language. We invite parents to accompany their little ones into classes so the whole family can experience the fun!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Research into childhood development shows that the best time to learn any language is from birth to six years old.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In our Chinese playgroup, every part of the session is in Chinese – we do not use bilingual or code-switching approaches. As toddlers sing along to nursery rhymes or listen to stories, they feel the rhythms and intonation of their mother tongue and absorb the language naturally. Many parents are surprised when their child\u2019s first words are \u5988\u5988!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Language skills are a big part of early childhood development – but watching your child learn to recognise objects, understand speech, and move around independently are equally important milestones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Led by early childhood educators, our PlayGrove sessions map every activity to specific developmental milestones. Every single activity of the class nurtures fine and gross motor skills, pattern recognition, and sensory processing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Chinese playgroup will set the stage for independent learning, preparing toddlers for preschool education. Learning to interact with peers is an important step in that process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our playgroup teachers use a progressive independence model to encourage self-sufficiency through simple tasks and routines. Our goal is to prepare children for drop-off, minimising separation anxiety for both parent and child when it is time to enter preschool.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Free Play<\/h4>

Free play sessions are designed to let toddlers learn at their own pace. Different activity stations are set up in the room, each designed to promote a different aspect of early learning (e.g. motor skills, pattern differentiation). At each station, an educator works one-to-one with each child - providing just enough guidance for self-discovery without taking over learning.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Rhythm & Rhyme<\/h4>

Music and rhyme are easy mediums for toddlers to participate in language learning. At EduGrove by Changemakers (\u521b\u5b66\u82d1), we use Chinese songs and rhymes produced by local composer Ang Zhi Hui to help toddlers learn simple words like animal names and everyday phrases like \u201c\u8c22\u8c22!\u201d.\n\nMusical sing-along activities are one of our most popular activities among toddlers in our playgroup - parents tell us that their little ones still sing the songs at home.\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The magic box is an activity that leverages mystery and surprise to capture the attention of toddlers and deepen their interest in learning.\u00a0\n\nFollowing a new theme each week, the magic box activity is designed to engage every child\u2019s five senses, combined with learning the Chinese word for the mystery item.\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Storytelling & Drama<\/h4>

Storytelling and drama are the cornerstone of our Chinese playgroup - every story is told in Chinese through interactive skits performed by our teachers.\u00a0\n\nInteractive storytelling and teacher-led drama skits immerse toddlers in the sounds, rhythm, and intonation of Chinese in natural and enjoyable ways.\n\nTeachers reinforce new words and themes through repetition and contextual learning, which helps with memory and retention. Stories also cover important moral teachings, enriching children\u2019s learning experiences with essential life values.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Sensory Play<\/h4>

Studies show that toddlers learn through their senses, sight, hearing, smell and touch. Our playgroup combines sensory play items like paper, fabrics, and other child-safe items with Chinese learning.\u00a0\n\nNew colours and textures allow toddlers to form experiential associations with new Chinese phrases.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Our playgroup activities include outdoor lessons at local parks and playgrounds, bringing Chinese to life through nature and play.\n\nOpen spaces provide a whole new environment for learning - whether it's interacting with nature or playing with other toddlers.
