Bilingual Buds
Preschool in Summit, NJ 07901
Welcome! We are excited to share our schoola community that continues to bloom under the care of a talented staff, committed parents, and an enthusiastic student body. I am impressed daily with what we are able to accomplish.
I did not grow up speaking Mandarin, and when my sons were born, the type of immersion school I envisioned for them didnt exist locally. Language classes seemed to be everywhere, but they met infrequently and were not providing the depth of content I was hoping for. I wanted to give my children more than simple conversation or comprehensionI wanted them to interpret, navigate and appreciate the world through the lens of knowing two languages. It is the collective goal of Bilingual Buds and I welcome you to join us in our vision.
Now 7 years’ strong, Bilingual Buds offers a continuum of immersion programs in both Mandarin and Spanishtwo of the most highly spoken languages in the world.
We look forward to discussing how we can best support your child on his or her personal journey to bilingualism. Please feel free to contact the school and ask for me directly.

I believe children must be respected as individuals with special talents and learning styles. Children learn best when they are nurtured and comfortable so they will take the necessary risks to grow and develop, become critical thinkers and life-long learners.
The environment and curriculum should be well planned and offer opportunities to explore and discover by using various mediums and teaching methods. This will ensure that each childs strengths and interests are used to enhance their learning and prepare them for their future educational challenges.
I am reminded every day that I will do nothing more important in life than touch the life of a child that day. There is no greater responsibility than to know that one’s words and actions will have a likely unknown, but nonetheless lasting influence, on growing minds. What I do then must be selfless; I must recognize the child to be the center of my energies. I believe that every child can learn if properly guided, supported, and motivated. Through my many experiences I have learned that every child has her own unique needs when it comes to learning—it is finding a way to fulfill these needs on an individual level for each student that inspires me the most.
