My son goes to the under 2's mandarin playgroup at the YWCA (mandarin for munchkins). They sing songs, do action songs, learn things like colours, animals, food etc. He seems to enjoy it, as do all the other kids in the class. Not sure how different it is for the over 2s. Only one day a week.

Cheaper Mandarin playgroup?
I find the cost is very high (7 lesson is $1290 and 1 hour only). Any cheaper playgroups, below $100?

How about Kiangsu and Chekiang Primary School in North Point? They have a Mandarin speaking kindergarten but I am not sure what age children can start going.

Mandarin playgroup
I know a lady who leads Mandarin playgroups and she doesn't charge a lot -- don't remember the exact price but certainly below $100/ 1-hour session. My daughter had a trial class (for free) at a friend's place and the kids seemed to enjoy it. Let me know if you want her contact information.

KCS Nursery is from 2 years old (2.5 hours Putonghua with half an hour of English).
If you are looking for playgroup kind, do check out www.earlymandarin.com
A newly open establishment with reasonable fee. But I really have no comments in term of setting and facilities (never been there).
I happened to know the person(Linda) who run this playgroup as we had an informal setting with few other moms late last year. The playgroup we had was informal but structured. She is a dedicated mother and we had a great fun learning and making new friends for child/ren and mothers alike.
