Our almost 2 year old started at Sing at 18 months and we cannot express how happy we are with our decision! Our little boy is learning and speaking so much Mandarin already. He loves going to school everyday and we love the daily photo updates. The teachers really do care about the students and it shows! Cannot recommend Sing enough! read more

As a parent, choosing the right daycare is such an important decision, and I'm so grateful we found North Torrance Sing in Chinese Preschool. My child has been attending since February, and in just a few months, we've seen tremendous growth, not only in language skills, but also in behavior and overall happiness. What stands out the most is how excited my child is to go to school every day, and even more telling, how they want to linger and keep playing when it's time to go home. That kind of joy and comfort speaks volumes about the environment the teachers have created. Ms. Shelly and Ms. Aya have been absolutely wonderful. They are warm, attentive, and truly invested in each child's development. I really appreciate how open they are to working with parents and tailoring their approach to meet each child's needs. It's clear they genuinely care and want every child to thrive. The school does a fantastic job of encouraging independence, teaching important manners, and creating a space where children can learn naturally through play. We've been so happy with our experience and are really glad we took a chance on this newer location. We're looking forward to continuing our journey here and sending our children in the years to come. read more

We were so excited for the new campus in North Torrance (18749 Crenshaw Blvd, Torrance, CA 90504)! It's a great mandarin immersion daycare for families especially if they're interested in the mandarin immersion program at Chapman and live in the Gardena area like we do. It's a great head start in learning the language because he's learned a lot even having just been in school for 5 months with no prior knowledge of Mandarin. He can answer simple questions and hold very simple conversations with our relatives. He loves singing the songs and enjoys practicing the lessons in their learning app. He is the one teaching me words these days! I love seeing the crafts and projects they do and their English work as well. He is so happy and proud to show me his work and tell me what he's learned. Smaller class sizes which I love. Very clean school and a new gated and well-kept playground space for the kids. They really try to make holidays and celebrations fun for the kids; we especially loved the school-wide Lunar New Year Celebration where students from both campuses performed and celebrated the holiday! Teachers and admin are so supportive and kind to the students. You can tell they really care and want to help the kids grow and succeed as human beings. My child had a hard time adjusting to outside care at first, but I received daily updates on how he was doing and they really tried to work with him and meet him where he's at. It really eased my anxiety knowing he's in such good care. Shoutout to Sophie and Jojo laoshi for being so so understanding, encouraging, and optimistic about his progress and growth socially and emotionally! As a parent that values being informed, I really appreciate the app the school uses to provide daily updates about his day. It is also a way to easily communicate with staff and admin if we are running late, aren't coming in, or if there are school updates they need to share. The teacher also provides a weekly recap of what the students learned!! I also appreciate the newsletter we receive from the school and the posted bulletin board of upcoming important dates so I can update the family calendar ahead of time. read more

This review is for their North Torrance location. Our toddler absolutely loves going to daycare now; sometimes, it's hard to get him to leave during pick-up. Shoutout to Ms. Sophie and Ms. Aya for making such a warm environment for our kid to thrive. We've noticed our son's comprehension increase substantially in the short time we've been there. There are so many activities and learning opportunities here. Another added bonus is the level of cleanliness of the facility; it's really superb. Overall, we love sending our kid here and seeing the benefits of the language immersion. read more

The Chinese New Year Celebration was awesome. Everyone was kind and helpful. Lots of fun.

My child has been attending Sing in Chinese for few years. The teacher and director Lynn is nice and easy to communicate with. I'd recommend this school. Sad to say my child will be going to TK/Kinder this fall but a good school and I do like the concept of Sing in Chinese. How the language is taught and the words and concept is learned through music. read more

Good Teaching, But Communication and Character Could Improve Our kids learned a lot from this Mandarin program, and we appreciated the quality of the instruction. That said, a few important policies weren't shared before enrollment and only came up weeks into the program. We also experienced some communication challenges when we brought up concerns, and the process didn't feel collaborative. One major red flag was we're asked to remove a review or our children could not return. This put us in a tough spot to find immediate child care. We would have preferred the chance to work things out, but the way the situation was handled by administration made continuing difficult. The teaching is strong, but clearer upfront communication and a more open approach to feedback would really help future families. read more

My daughter attends Sing in Chinese preschool and we are glad to have made that decision. Everyday she learns something new and she enjoys going to school. We've also noticed the improvement in her social skills. read more

Sing in Chinese in Torrance is a total lifesaver for parents, mostly thanks to a staff that is genuinely second to none. The teachers here bring an incredible level of energy and warmth to the classroom, treating every child like their own while making Mandarin immersion feel like a giant playdate. Their unique, music-based curriculum is genius, but it's the patience and dedication of the team that really makes the place shine. If you want a daycare where your kid feels safe, loved, and excited to learn every single day, this is absolutely the spot. read more

Great environment and great leaning academic everyone is friendly and good to be in a welcoming place

My 3.5 year immediately started speaking more Chinese at home after starting here, and adjusted quickly to the immersion environment. Prior, the only exposure was me speaking Chinese to him maybe 50% of the time at home. Now I am able to speak more to him at home and feel like he's tracking! Apart from the language, my kid is learning cultural etiquette too! He's also been very engaged with school curriculum. The teachers prep every week and have to submit it to the admin for approval, and they really focus on weekly themes daily. They also are consistent with telling parents at the end of the week the new vocab so we can reinforce things. When I pick him up he asks if he can finish his work and sometimes tries to sneak another worksheet - this has never happened before at other schools as he usually books it the second I show up. The ratios are great as is their classroom management. The admin and teaching staff all seem to know the kids which is assuring. When they asked me to bring an emergency prep backpack, they immediately noticed that I had forgotten to include Zyrtec (without looking at any papers for him)! They are very responsive and when my kid was new or when we have a bad drop off they take extra photos to put me at ease. My main regret is not coming here sooner... and I'm sad there's no immersion elementary in TUSD. read more

Sing in Chinese is a great school. I trust that they will take good care of my kid. My kid is learning a lot in both academic and behavioral skills. Will definitely recommend read more

My daughter learned Chinese in 8 months. They're very attentive. My daughter has a lot of fun and has learned a lot.

This school is incredible. The philosophy of singing and making it fun and hiring the right teachers has made for an incredible experience. My kids have picked up the language so fast. I grew up going to Chinese school and had a tutor and dreaded it. It was so tough for my parents too having to force this important skill on us. This school makes my job as a parent easier. The school also uses a great communication platform that makes messaging to parents excellent. Keep us the great work! read more

Just an update after 4 months of sing in chinese- my almost 2 year old baby now can understand lots and lots of chinese, she has been saying random words and been trying to sing the songs she learned at school. She has become so polite and always sayinf thank you in chinese among otber words. So sweet. Learn so fast and so much. She is so excited to go to school everyday. Hope this school opens up more locations in the future read more

If you're looking for a Chinese immersion preschool for your little one, look no further than Sing in Chinese Preschool! My husband and I have two sons, ages 7 and 4, and have had a lot of experience with a variety of local Chinese schools. There are so many factors to consider when choosing what's best for your family, so we wanted to share how over the moon we have been with Sing In Chinese. Neither my husband nor I speak Mandarin, but we realized how valuable speaking it would be for a better world-view for our children and our family. When my children were little, I took a couple Chinese language classes at El Camino College so while I am in no way fluent, I can at least speak basic simple sentences now at home. Beyond that, their only Chinese language exposure comes from their respective schools. You know how they say when you meet the right person, you just *know* they're the one you're supposed to marry? Well, we just *knew* we made the right decision to send our son to Sing in Chinese the very first week of school. From his first day, he was SO happy to be there and made friends immediately. All the other parents in our son's class are constantly remarking on what a special bond these kids have with each other and their nurturing teachers. Without any direction from parents or adults, the children are often so excited to see each other every day that many of them greet each other with a hug, or group hug, and similarly bid farewells in a similar manner which speaks to not only the caliber of the families at the school, but also the quality of the teachers and environment. Beyond seeking a safe and compassionate environment, the main qualification we sought was Chinese language acquisition and boy, has Sing in Chinese delivered in a huge way! Their program is fully immersive in such a fun and loving way that within a span of only three months, our son was speaking complete and complex sentences in Chinese. This was such a huge win for us considering he was at another local Chinese school for a year and only ever responded to them in English and minimal Chinese. Sing in Chinese uses their own proprietary and creative curriculum which involves teaching Chinese through a large catalog of songs they specially created for their students. And wow does it work! From his first week of school to the present, our son is constantly singing songs to himself and to us that he's learned at school, from colors of the rainbow, to cleaning up, going to the beach, and countless others. Beyond their curriculum, they truly believe in immersing the kids and don't translate or assume translation is needed for the kids, and that's been a huge win for helping our child quickly master the language! Other things you may be wondering: 1. Kindergarten-readiness: If you're hesitating to sign up for a Chinese immersion program because you're worried your child will be behind when starting kindergarten, have no fear as Sing in Chinese Preschool carves out time to work with the children on number and letter recognition, phonics, writing skills, fine motor skills, and team building. From my experience between the variety of Chinese schools and American preschools our children have been to, this school is already doing more in terms of preparing my child than even my older son's English-speaking preschool and am confident that my youngest will be more than prepared to start his journey at a typical American program when he's old enough. 2. Discipline: I appreciate that Sing in Chinese operates in a gentle manner not seeking to punish children if they make mistakes, but to teach them in a positive manner that doesn't shame. 3. Communication: The school does an excellent job of sending out daily/weekly communication of what subjects the children are learning and even include phrases and words which are helpful if you're trying to learn along side your child. They use a helpful app where you can send messages to the teachers and administration. They also do a nice job of including pictures of their activities with your child at work which is a fun peek into their daily routines! 4. Safety: The school has taken extra measures to include a code lock door on their classrooms and use an app to check your child in and out each day with a unique code that only your family has. I'm so glad we made the switch from the other local Chinese school to Sing in Chinese and I can truly say our child is thriving there! It isn't uncommon to hear my child as well as many of the others request to stay later because they love school and their friends so much. I'm so glad we made the decision to move to Sing in Chinese and I can't wait to see how both of my children's love of learning the Chinese language continues to develop over the years in not only their preschool, but also their after-school program! Thank you to Director Lynn Laoshi and the amazing teachers at this school for fostering such a love of learning! read more

See all

We enrolled our child at Sing In Chinese this year and we are very pleased with his experience. The teachers and administrators have been attentive and kind, and they exhibit considerable focus on ensuring our child's safety and development. It is a great place for a family who wants its child to have exposure to Chinese at an early age. Highly recommended! read more

My son loves the school so much, teacher very nice and caring. He doesn't know how to speak Chinese before he goes in. Now he can understand and speak well. We are planning to send our second one to Sing in Chinese too and recommend our friends! read more

Great little school located in the back of a church property. My niece and nephew go and have learned so much Mandarin Chinese. The teachers are kind and engaging and the lessons are varied but still appealing to the children. Can't recommend it enough! read more

Fun activities and new years celebration for the kids. Catchy songs for the kids to learn Chinese.

Our son is so happy at sing in Chinese. The teachers are great, i would give 5 starts if i could. Highly recommend.

Looking for an immersion program with an excellent participatory and strong English pre-academic skills curriculum? Stop and look no further! As a former educator, District Administrator with background in supervising programs from infants through post high school, I can highly recommend this school. We are extremely sad my grandson is moving out of the area and leaving this excellent school during the holidays! Max started in February 2022, one of 7 students, with no ability to speak Mandarin but he was able to converse with his father within a few months with perfect articulation. Don't worry about the English pre academic skills as everything is incorporated within the curriculum along with the immersion aspect. Low student/teacher ratio along with daily hands-on and movement activities enables the young child to absorb concepts at their academic level through all their senses. This enables the brain to create strong pathways which develops stronger learning skills. Kudos to Carol & Lynn Lousi for creating & expanding the wonderful preschool program. We will miss all the teachers who are so dedicated and all the kids along with their caring parents! So stop reading and call the school to enroll. Act quickly as word is spreading and classes are getting full. PS...They also have a huge after school program and a Saturday school. They will pick up at some elementary schools in PV & follow the PV school district calendar for vacations. Have fun! Sue Kawasaki Grandma of Max Chan read more

Sing in Chinese preschool has been an amazing experience for my son. He's learning so much every day and is constantly bringing home crafts and projects that he made. The teachers are caring and supportive and my son loves his teachers. I feel like they know my child well and are invested in his development. The other families are also very nice and it's an overall supportive and collaborative environment. Thank you Mindy Laoshi, Xiao Xiao Laoshi, Gennie Laoshi, Jojo Laoshi and Lynn Laoshi. You all are phenomenal read more

My daughter enrolled in full day, 5 days a week, program started in September, 2022. She had surprised us with how quickly she learned to speak Mandarin to communicate to me, my wife, and her grandparents and the vocabulary she uses sometimes completely surprised us. The way the education program structured not only taught her the language but also singing, dancing, writing, and art as well as improved her social skill to play nice with others. Teachers seems to care so much about the kids and have so much passion for teaching and caring for them. I've never seems my daughter talked about her teachers and eager to go to school to see her teachers and play with her friends. The Brightwheel application the school uses for instance communication with parents and the amount of effort teachers take to post the daily progress throughout the day was absolutely awesome and it meant a lot to all parents. It was absolutely joyful for parents to see how much funs the kids had for the day in real-time. Thanks to my daughter's teacher, Hsiao Lu Laoshi, for taking care of the kids, spending the time and effort to send a very detailed weekly reports to inform parents on what the kids had learned for each week. Also really appreciate her and Miss Lynn for a very throughout progress report and discussion during our first parents/teachers conference. It was really helpful for us to understand her progress and the area where we could help to accelerate her learning and development. Overall, we were glad that we enrolled her to build a great foundation for Mandarin learning. We'd seen great improvement within the past few months not only in speaking and learning Mandarin but also all aspect of her pre-school education and experience. Highly recommended for all parents who wants a similar great learning experience for their kids! read more

Our daughter started this preschool a month ago, after having been at another preschool for five months. The level of care and effort that Teacher Lynn, Summer and Lenaye demonstrate is so astronomically different, we were astounded. Weekly plans, cute activities, healthy snacks, simple cooking activities, growing plants, a Halloween trick or treat / recital / party event, learning songs... the teachers inspire me with their creativity and effort. (The last Montessori we went to did not share anything during the whole time she was there, asked us to pay for lessons during the week, and during the one awkward parent teacher conference, parents asked what the curriculum or day was like, and found out that teachers probably gave the kids 10 mins of dedicated time each week.) Within the first week at Sing in Chinese, our daughter was grumbling when we picked her up. We love this school so much, and really appreciate the owner and the staff. We picked Sing in Chinese initially for the multicultural benefit and smaller size initially, but have been so delighted in every single way imaginable. Thank you! read more

Great summer camp program! My child had a great time cooking, meeting new friends, and feeling more comfortable speaking Mandarin.

This pre school is an amazing place. My friend's son goes to here and he really enjoys here. The teachers are very nice and helpful. read more

Now, down to ONE star because SICP is STILL denying facts I stated in my first review [many Brightwheel messages and emails sent prior to this public review] about that day, 1/25/23, when they indeed used scissors with my 3yr old (2/15/23: Images I uploaded of Mindy Chen holding a scissors in my 3yr olds hand were removed at request by SICP due to "privacy concerns"). Both Mindy Chen & XiaoXiao Li were present at AM drop-off and XiaoXiao present at 2:45-3:00pm pickup as usual. Their continued manipulation, gaslighting, dishonesty, and mistreatment is absolutely sickening. We're very familiar with CA educational laws and have experienced many hardships with how other federally funded public schools have ignorantly mistreated families like us, but for a paid private *preschool* to continue in this poor unprofessional manner with our youngest daughter is absolutely disgraceful, unacceptable, and shouldn't be in operation anymore. They should have their CA license revoked. read more

Amazing staff wonderful culture my kid love it they give you daily updates of your child with pictures

Sing In Chinese has been a gem for our daughter. She's spent the better part of her age 3-4 years at this school M-F and she still wants to stay longer after it's time to go home. The teachers are all very caring and do an excellent job of keeping the kids engaged and interested in their daily activities. It's a mix of indoor and outdoor play/learning with split language immersion (Mandarin/English) that honestly just works! Thanks to them, our daughter's reading comprehension and math skills have exploded. They are also very clean with A+ COVID precautions, which has been a huge benefit to keeping our daughter healthy/safe. Best preschool in the South Bay! read more

My son started this program when he was 21 months old and was having so much fun just to participate class activities every Saturday! Teachers are very caring with great patience especially with little kids! When pandemic started, we thought this might disrupt his Chinese learning experience but Sing In Chinese has designed a program online where students are able to interact with teachers by utilized flash cards and art crafting to enhance subject that class has talked about throughout the week. Sing In Chinese is definitely the first choice for parents who are seeking fun and creativity way of learning Chinese for their kids! read more

My son started last year, very clean and professional daycare. All of our family love this place.
