With the process of globalization, I also find it wise to master the two most used languages in the world – English and Chinese, which are perfectly balanced at YCIS.”

“I joined YCIS in 2007 because I like the bilingual education that it provides students. Our students get the unique chance to be introduced to two languages that fully embody their own sophisticated cultures. I enjoy interacting with children and teaching them about the culture that I was immersed in as a child. I love watching children grow as an individual in the early years. Not only do I teach them, they also teach me everyday. I enjoy working with the wonderful team at YCIS and meeting exceptional parents and students.”

“YCIS’s community is unique, supportive, enriching and comforting. I appreciate YCIS’s roots in Early Childhood Education and how we span and care for children from preschool to middle school. I value our focus to develop and nurture the whole child. The small class sizes allow me to get to know each child I teach, not only in regards to academia but their personal and social-emotional lives. I feel very fortunate to be part of the YCIS family and to co-teach with the most creative, warm and loyal teachers I have come across in my years in the field. YCIS is truly a gem and feels like family to me. I owe my gratitude to the students, families, teachers and all office staff for providing such a wonderful environment!”

“Being a preschool teacher was always my dream career because my kindergarten teacher fed me a piece of mooncake. It is my purpose to make each day a great day for every child. This is what makes my job so rewarding. My goal is to continue to teach and help each child grow and develop to prepare them for the future. I am grateful to be part of such an amazing team we have here at YCIS.”
