Summer Ya Ya 2025
Run by experienced early childhood educators for over 16 years, Summer Ya Ya remains the premier destination for children seeking an immersive Mandarin language experience during the summer! All of the classes are taught by native-speaking Mandarin head teachers who have a strong background in early childhood education and language development. Over the years, we are proud to have built a stellar reputation among the families in our community.
from Aston’s Dad
“I often do not leave beaming/ glowing reviews, but our experience at Ya Ya summer camp was so amazing that I just had to come here and express how wonderful our experience was. We were so floored by how committed and dedicated the teachers were in caring for our son, especially due to the fact that we had him enrolled in their summer program. They were very involved and put in so much care and attention that it honestly put our son’s very expensive private school to shame.”
Known for our thoughtfully designed and engaging topic studies, our expert teachers guide children through hands-on activities that bring learning to life in meaningful ways!
This summer, join our beloved mascot, Da-Ya-Ya 大芽芽, on an exciting adventure! Each session children will explore a new destination—the sunny beach, the bustling city, the lively zoo, and a delicious food tour featuring flavors from around the world. Through interactive storytelling, hands-on activities, and cultural exploration, children will expand their Mandarin vocabulary and spark their creativity as they explore each setting. Come along for the adventure—we can’t wait to have so much in learning Mandarin together!
