普通话 (Simplified Chinese)

Your child was born ready to learn. Every second their brain forms over a million new connections. Simple, everyday activities with you, help to make these connections strong. Talk, sing, play and read together everyday to give them the best start. 

Language is a bridge to culture so by sharing your home language, you can help your child form a strong sense of identity and belonging. Learning multiple languages at the same time does not delay a child’s speech development. In fact, it can help children learn English faster and more easily through enhanced concentration, memory, creativity and an understanding of how language works.

孩子天生就为学习而准备。他们的脑部每一秒会形成超过一百万次的新联系。每天与您一起做简单的活动有助于加强这些联系。每天与孩子一起说话、唱歌、玩耍和阅读，让他们有最好的开始。

语言是文化的桥梁，与孩子一起说您的母语，有助于孩子形成强烈的身份和归属感。同时学习多种语言不会延误孩子的语言发展。事实上，加强的专注力、记忆力、创造性和对语言使用的理解有助于孩子更快、更容易学英语。
