Mother of PlayClub Independent student, Emmanuel Joel

One of the best decisions we have made as parents has been to start all three children at Cheng Zhu from when they were babies at PlayNest and to continue in the various enrichment programmes as they progressed. Our children not only possess a strong foundation in Mandarin, they have also learned to appreciate Chinese culture, adding on to their interest in learning the language.
