Nurturing young learners through imagination, exploration and play.
For more than two decades Kuei Luck has provided supportive, child-focused care for families. In 2013 we furthered our commitment to young learners with the addition of a Reggio-Emilio inspired early childhood center.
Kuei Luck Early Childhood Center is a Reggio inspired, Mandarin Immersion Nursery & Preschool in New York City. We believe that early learning experiences have a profound impact on a child’s social, emotional, and intellectual development. Our student-led immersive language model is rooted in exploration, experimentation, and play. By introducing students to open ended experiences early, we help create a foundation for complex problem solving for the rest of their lives. Our students are encouraged to explore learning through art, music, play, and nature. Our approach encourages young learners to deepen their knowledge of subjects they are most curious about.

From neutral color palettes to minimalist design and natural wooden toys, our facilities are designed to create a calm and nurturing environment that is conducive to a child’s self expression and learning.
The Reggio-Emilia Approach
Named after the Italian town where a community developed an early childhood education program with children at the center, the Reggio Approach provides an alternative to traditional early child education by allowing a child’s natural curiosity to drive the learning. We believe that self-directed learning prepares children for the future by enhancing cognitive development and fostering social and emotional intelligence. By developing greater self expression, our young learners build confidence and tools for solving complex problems in a multicultural environment.
Mandarin Immersion for Global Learners
Through our Reggio approach to language immersion, young learners lead their own language learning through storytelling, art, dance, and play. Each classroom has an English-speaking teacher and a Mandarin speaking teacher to support children as they engage naturally with both languages. As one of the fastest growing languages with 100 million students worldwide, Mandarin gives young learners the opportunity to become global citizens with the skills to succeed in an interconnected world. Studies suggest that learning a second language in a child’s formative years correlates to a higher performance in academics as well as emotional development and problem solving skills.
A special note about COVID-19
COVID-19 has changed the way that students learn and live. We are dedicated to creating a safe and healthy environment while keeping schools open so students have a place to thrive and learn. With the guidance of public health specialists, we have implemented safety measures such as electrostatic sprayer to camera-enabled infrared temperature checks at our front entrance. We recognize the disruptions this virus has caused to our community and are committed to providing timely communication as we take measures to support the best interest of our students and families.
