Monday, 02 August 2010 11:00

The Chinese Language School of Connecticut will be offering free Chopstix preschool Chinese demo classes at the Georgetown Community Center, formerly the Gilbert & Bennett School, 49 New Street, Wilton, on Saturdays, Aug. 28 and Sept. 4.

Demo classes for ages 2 and 3 will be from 10 to 10:45 a.m.; for ages 4 and 5, 11 to 11:45 a.m.

“We’re very pleased to offer these engaging programs for young children at the Georgetown Community Center...,” said Katy Chen Myers, who is the school’s vice president of art and culture. The intent is to introduce more children to Mandarin Chinese, she added.

“Chinese is such an ancient, rich language, and the children enjoy the stories, songs, and puppets we use in our preschool classes in order to make Chinese come alive for them,” she said.

Regular school classes are held Sundays in Riverside and in Greenwich. Private tutoring, adult classes, corporate, and after school programs are available as well. For information, go to www.chineselanguageschool.org.
