Does any one know of any Chinese Immersion pre-schools that cater for N1-K2 inclusive?
My elder boy went to Bibinogs for 4 years of pre-school. It was total immersion Mandarin all the way.
With no Chinese speakers in the house his Chinese is pretty good.
Now it''s time to find a school for my little girl and unfortunately Bibinogs only offers the Chinese Immersion program for Nursery but not for Kindergarten. I could enroll her for the Chinese Immersion Nursery, but then I'll have to find a Chinese Immersion Kindy and move her.

Canadian International School, American
International School and Chinese International School all offer Mandarain programs. But all are 50%/50% (I think Chinese one may have been 70%). But these are not full immersion. My daughter hasn't started yet (she will in August) so I can't comment on any of the programs.

My kids are in Chengzhu Mandarin Center, with my daughter in N1 and my son in K2 this year. Fantastic program, only drawback is it's only 3 hours a day (all Mandarin) and located in a shopping mall. But they are looking for a new location to move the growing "Little Pandas" program into, and have it be a full mandarin preschool. Hopefully that will happen within a year or so! Run by the Julia Gabriel group, located in Rochester Mall at Buona Vista. We've been very happy there.

Just a quick and final update on this post I started in Feb, we have enrolled my girl in Bibinogs. Same program as her brother did many years ago. They ensured us they can cater for 100% pure mandarin for Nursery and Kindergarten. So she can stay there for 4 years. Happy parents, happy little girl!
