About this preschool

Footprints Early Education Center provides high-quality bilingual education in Chinese and English for ages 2 to 5 using a play-based, immersion approach with parallel teaching. The program is located in Sunnyvale and maintains a low child-to-teacher ratio in a warm, nurturing, developmentally appropriate environment.

Philosophy
Built on five key principles: Play N Learn (play as the most natural way children learn), Multiple Intelligences (inspired by Howard Gardner's theory recognizing diverse learning styles), Chinese/English Parallel Teaching (supporting natural language development and code-switching), Character Education (teaching values like kindness, responsibility, humility, and self-control), and Parents as Partners (viewing parents as important collaborators in children's learning).
