Putting your child in a predominantly Chinese-speaking environment may initially seem like it could slow down their learning of English, but research suggests that bilingualism can actually enhance cognitive abilities and provide various benefits in the long run. While your child may take some time to adjust and become proficient in both languages, the eventual outcome will be highly advantageous.

将您的孩子置于以华文为主的环境中，初看似乎可能会影响孩子英文学习进度，但研究显示，双语能力实际上可以提升认知能力，并在长远中带来诸多益处。尽管孩子可能需要一些时间来适应并熟练掌握两种语言，但最终的成果是相当有利的。

Learning Chinese in an English-speaking nation can offer several advantages for your child’s future endeavors: Global Opportunities: China is one of the world’s largest economies and a major player in global business, politics, and culture. Proficiency in Chinese can open up numerous opportunities for international careers and collaborations. Cultural Understanding: Learning Chinese provides insight into one of the world’s oldest and richest cultures. Understanding Chinese language and culture can foster cross-cultural communication and appreciation. Competitive Advantage: In an increasingly interconnected world, bilingualism is a valuable skill. Employers often seek candidates who are proficient in multiple languages, especially in languages relevant to global markets. Enhanced Cognitive Skills: Research suggests that bilingualism can improve cognitive abilities such as problem-solving, multitasking, and creativity. Learning Chinese alongside English can provide cognitive benefits that extend beyond language acquisition. Personal Growth: Learning a new language is not just about communication; it also broadens one’s perspective and enhances adaptability. Your child will develop resilience, patience, and cultural sensitivity through the process of language learning. To ensure that your child maintains proficiency in English while learning Chinese, we incorporate English into their daily routines, provide access to English-language materials such as books and media, and encourage interaction with their peers in English as well from time to time. This can help them develop proficiency in both languages simultaneously. Moreover, we believe that there is a lack of good, sound, and lively Chinese-learning environment in many Singapore homes than there is English-speaking environment. Hence, Little Gifts & Miracles is founded. Thus, providing exposure to both Chinese and English can enrich your child’s life and equip them with valuable skills for the future.

在一个以英文为主要语言的国家学习华文，对孩子未来的发展具有以下优势： 全球机遇：中国是全球最大经济体之一，并在国际商业、政治和文化领域发挥着重要作用。掌握华文可以为国际职业和合作开辟更多机会。 文化理解：学习华文能够深入了解世界上最古老且最丰富的文化之一。了解华文语言和文化有助于促进跨文化交流和欣赏。 竞争优势：在联系日益紧密的世界中，双语能力是一项宝贵的技能。雇主通常青睐于那些掌握多种语言的候选人，特别是那些与全球市场相关的语言。 增强认知能力：研究表明，双语能力可以改善问题解决、多任务处理和创造力等思维能力。同时学习两种语言也能够带来超越语言学习的认知益处。 个人成长：学习新语言不仅是为了沟通，它还拓宽了视野，提升了适应能力。通过语言学习的过程，您的孩子将培养出坚韧、耐心和文化敏感性。 为了确保您的孩子在学习华文的同时保持英语的熟练程度，我们将英语融入他们的日常生活中，提供英文书籍和媒体等英文材料的使用，并鼓励他们与同龄人进行英语交流。这可以帮助他们同时熟练掌握两种语言。此外，我们相信，在许多新加坡家庭中，没有良好、生动的华文学习环境，相较之下，英语学习环境则相对较多。因此，信望爱汉语学苑应运而生。总体来说，提供双语环境可以丰富孩子的生活，并为他们的未来提供宝贵的技能。

Your child will indeed be exposed to Christian teaching and we believe that learning biblical values can offer several potential benefits for your child, regardless of your family’s religion. One of the many benefits is building a strong ethical framework in your child. Many biblical values, such as compassion, honesty, diligence, and respect for others, align with universal moral principles. Learning these values can help your child develop a strong ethical foundation. Additionally, your child will increase in his or her cultural literacy as he or she understands bible stories and teachings which provide insights into literature, art, history, and culture, that are deeply influenced by Judeo-Christian traditions. Also, at Little Gifts & Miracles, we do not adopt the techniques used in brainwashing that may include isolation, repetition, fear tactics, manipulation of information, and control of basic needs such as sleep and food. The ultimate goal of brainwashing is to make the individual adopt new beliefs or ideologies while suppressing critical thinking or resistance to those beliefs. On the contrary, we respect and support parents’ free will and their God-given authority over every aspect of their children’s development. At Little Gifts & Miracles, we promote open discussions with our children about what they are learning, encourage them to ask questions about the Bible, exercise critical thinking skills and help them develop the ability to evaluate information critically and make informed decisions, while respecting and accommodating families of different faiths or beliefs. Overall, we foster a sense of community and belonging, providing opportunities for your child to develop social skills, empathy, and teamwork, regardless of their religious, racial and socioeconomical backgrounds. We strive to love others as ourselves as God has commanded us to do so (Matthew 22:39).

您的孩子确实会接触到基督教教学，吾等深信，无论您的家庭信仰是什么，学习圣经价值必能为您的孩子带来诸多裨益。首先，学习圣经价值观能够帮助孩子建立坚实的道德框架。许多圣经中的价值观，如慈悲、诚实、勤勉和尊重他人等，皆与普世的道德原则一致。这些价值观的学习有助于孩子建立坚实的道德基础。 此外，您的孩子将因理解圣经故事及原则，而增强其文化素养，因为圣经内容深深影响文学、艺术、历史与文化，这些领域都深受犹太-基督教传统的影响。 此外，在信望爱汉语学苑中，我们不采用洗脑技术，如孤立、重复、恐吓、信息操控和控制基本需求（如睡眠和食物）。洗脑的最终目标是让人接受新的信仰或意识形态，同时压制其批判性思维或对这些信仰的反抗。 相反的，我们尊重并支持家长对孩子发展的各个方面拥有的自由意志和上帝赋予的权威。在信望爱学苑中，我们鼓励孩子对所学内容进行开放式讨论，鼓励他们提问圣经问题，锻炼批判性思维能力，帮助他们评估信息并做出明智决策，同时尊重和包容不同信仰或信念的家庭。我们致力于培养社区意识与归属感，为孩子提供发展社交技能、同理心和团队合作的机会，无论他们的宗教、种族或社会经济背景如何。我们努力按照上帝的教诲去爱人如己（马太福音 22:39）。
