“I am very honored to be a member of YCIS. YCIS is where you can feel that everyone truly cares for the kids to help them be the best of themselves. 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.”

“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!”
