About Us
Opened in 2016, QI [pronounced: chee] SCHOOL is dedicated to providing high-quality care and education for children from 6 weeks to 5 years old. We utilize an inquiry-based curriculum that emphasizes social-emotional learning and STEM education. We offer Mandarin immersion opportunities, and our children dive deep into each topic during Weekly Explorations. Our mission is to help each child discover their potential, follow his or her individualized growth path, embrace cultural diversity and build solid foundations for life through providing a safe and enriching environment with highly qualified teachers and a comprehensive curriculum.
Our Curriculum
We utilized an inquiry-based curriculum to build strong foundations for physical, cognitive and social-emotional, and leadership skills. We nurture and develop children's inquisitive minds through play and many other enriching activities.
Inquiry-Based Curriculum
We encourage children to wonder, to explore things that intrigue them, and to achieve deeper understanding through meaningful interactions with peers and adults.
STEM Education
Science, technology, engineering and math are incorporated in our daily curriculum. Children observe, ask questions, and experiment on a daily basis.
Bilingual Education
We offer daily Mandarin immersion class in all programs. Learning a second language during early years benefits children's cognitive development and executive functioning.
Nature and Art
Nature offers us endless opportunities for learning. Our children study how caterpillars turn into butterflies in real life, make creative arts inspired by fall leaves, and so much more...
