What we offer here is
More Than Just a Story
We believe storytime is the bridge to your child’s heritage and the window to a broader world. Unlike traditional library story times, our Mandarin Storytime offers an immersive "Deep Dive" experience.
Led by Aries (苗苗), a bilingual educator with a Master’s in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) from the University of Rochester and a B.A. in Chinese Language and Literature at Fudan University, each 30-45 minute session is purposefully designed to take children beyond passive listening.
We select world-class picture books and bring them to life through:
Cultural Connection
Weaving Chinese history, folklore, and traditions directly into the narrative. Celebrate Asian heritage and global narratives through stories.
Bilingual Immersion
Fostering early language development in Mandarin and English through dynamic and interactive storytelling.
STEAM Integration
Expanding into Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math topics, while gently guiding focused social-emotional growth.
Whether you are a library looking for a seasonal celebration or a parent seeking a premium educational workshop, Piggysprout creates a joyful space where curious minds fall in love with Chinese language and culture.
