We enrolled our daughter in the Mandarin immersion program. She is in TK this year, and she already knows all her colors and shapes and can count up to 100 all in Chinese! She can also speak and understand basic Chinese phrases and even identify a few characters at this point. We don't speak Chinese at home or try to pressure her. Needless to say, I am very impressed with this school, the Mandarin immersion program, and the teachers. Learning a second language is such a valuable skill that we are able to provide for our kids. I really wish I had something like this when I was young.
