“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 starting from preschool. I value our focus in developing and nurturing the whole child. The way our program is organized, it allows me to get to know each child I teach, not only in regards to academia but also their personal and social-emotional lives. I feel very fortunate to be part of the YCIS family and 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 and innovative environment. “

“I was born in Taiwan and immigrated here when I was 10. I enjoy listening to music, people-watching, and taking random photos during breaks. I love how friendly the teachers are and how everyone helps each other. I like working with children because I feel young just to be around them. I also want to have a positive impact on their lives and it’s rewarding when they remember you and come visit you once they move up. The children are fortunate to have such a dual language instruction environment because it’ll allow them to learn and practice both languages. “
