Small World in Lafayette provides Mandarin immersion, music and international awareness programs to East Bay children and their parents. Small World was founded in May, 2007 by Lynley Sides with the help of a rich advisory board, two amazing Mandarin teachers and some very supportive families.


Teachers
Small World teachers are native Mandarin and fluent English speakers experienced in teaching Mandarin to young children. They are warm, open, energetic and relish in the experience of sharing the Mandarin language and Chinese culture with the children.
