Word from a Parent:
“Since my son Jingjie entered MOMA Kids, he has been under his teacher’s care and has made a lot of progress. Teacher Wang makes sure he is fed and dressed, and has helped him adjust to kindergarten life. Teacher Han broadened his mind. Teacher Xiaoqing and the foreign teachers enhanced his interest in learning, helping him to be a student with logical thinking and clear speaking. He has become very popular in the neighborhood due to these great changes!”
Cheng Yang (China), mother of Hu Jingjie
