This special opportunity for learning and practicing Mandarin is open to children aged 2 to 5 years old. Parents and children attend together, and siblings are welcome to listen in as our Story Teller engages the children in songs, reads stories in Mandarin, leads language exercises, and introduces Chinese characters. This is a Mandarin immersion experience where siblings outside the 2-5 age group are welcome. Families may register after the program begins if there is space.

**Space is limited. Register for the 12-week session by emailing Linda Jensen, LSWA, of First Connections at lmatthews@jri.org. **
