About Us

A childhood with room to run

Founded by Ziyang Yanjiang HCJM Kindergarten Co., Ltd., HCJM·BB International Bilingual Kindergarten (华晨嘉美BB国际双语幼儿园) stands at No.200 Kangle Middle Road, Yanjiang District, Ziyang, Sichuan. Supervised by the Yanjiang District Education and Sports Bureau, we opened in March 2021. The kindergarten is licensed for both childcare (0–3) and preschool education (3–6) and operates as one integrated campus, giving children a continuous growth path from infancy to primary school.

Our purpose is to "cultivate children with care, attend to them with devotion, focus on their development, and serve families wholeheartedly", guided by the belief that educators must educate themselves first — so that every child can run and grow in nature, and see further through two languages.

Designed for 22 classes and 660 children, the kindergarten employs 71 full-time teachers and 24 carers, with a further 42 childcare staff in the 0–3 centre.

Why Choose Us

Why families choose HCJM

Educational space that is genuinely scarce in a city — so that every day is spent learning in the real world.

Scarce ecological space

40,000 m² in total with 25,000 m² of owned forest and farm — broad lawns, woodland and rolling slopes instead of the cramped corners typical of city kindergartens.

Our own farm, real farming lessons

Children sow seeds, watch them grow and feed the animals — understanding the cycle of life and building care and responsibility through real work.

Immersive bilingual setting

International and Chinese teachers co-create the language environment, weaving English into daily routines, farm work and nature exploration so language is acquired naturally.

Sport as part of the curriculum

A go-kart park and a competition-grade roller-skating rink on campus, plus climbing frames, sand-and-water play, sensory equipment and balance bikes.

Grade I quality, recognised officially

Rated "Grade I Kindergarten" by the Yanjiang District Education and Sports Bureau in the 2023 private kindergarten evaluation.

One campus, ages 0–6

Dual licences for childcare and preschool education create one continuous ladder; the 0–3 centre shares the campus, staff and logistics, and children join our small class at three.

Curriculum

Life is the lesson, play is the method

We respect how young children develop and learn, keep play as the core activity, and combine care with education so children can discover freely and create boldly.

01

Five domains + bilingual teaching + specialist classes

Built on China's five developmental domains, with a full set of Montessori materials in every classroom, respecting each child's pace and particular gift.

02

Immersive bilingual eco-education

Daily English co-taught by international and Chinese teachers, with language learning embedded in farm work and nature exploration.

03

Project-based inquiry

Projects start from children's questions and natural phenomena — "the journey of a seed", "our animal friends" — building observation, questioning and scientific thinking.

04

Forest classroom

Lessons move outdoors: reading, drawing and talking among trees and birdsong, sparking creativity and a real appetite for learning.

05

Specialist courses

Ceramics, baking, LEGO, music, art, roller skating and go-karting support each child's individual strengths.

06

Primary transition (senior class)

Habits, task awareness, early reading and writing, and mathematical thinking prepare children for a smooth move into primary school.

40,000 m² in total: 11,639.82 m² teaching area, 9,890.82 m² outdoor extension area, and about 25,000 m² of ecological learning and activity space.

HCJM Childcare Centre

Registered in June 2022, managed as one campus with the kindergarten and sharing its grounds and support services. Dedicated care for children aged 0–3, with a natural move into our small class at three — and no surcharge.

Professional care in small groups

156 registered childcare places, organised into mixed-age classes (18 children) and toddler classes (20 children), with a 1:3 child-to-staff ratio so every child is seen and heard. The centre has 42 care and education staff; the management team is certified, and teachers hold teaching, nursery-nurse or early-years guidance qualifications.

A whole-brain development curriculum

Centred on whole-brain development, the programme combines sensory integration, arts, and logic games to support intellectual, emotional and physical growth. We hold to education by example — "educators educate themselves first" — and respect individual differences with a tailored plan for each child.

Shared access to nature

The centre shares the forest and farm, the sand-and-water area, the treehouse reading corner, the go-kart park, the skating rink and the sensory playground, so children under three complete their first sensory and movement explorations in real nature.

  • Health partnership: a health-support agreement with the Shizishan Community Health Centre; weekly menus designed by a senior nutritionist
  • Smart security: 360° coverage, facial-recognition access, and a parent app to follow your child's day in real time
  • Thoughtful meals: contracted suppliers deliver daily; low salt and low sugar; individual meals for children with allergies, with allergens clearly labelled
  • Home-school partnership: daily photos, meal and sleep records and a day report; regular open days and parenting workshops
  • Flexible support: emergency temporary care and early aptitude assessment for working families

Parent FAQ

The questions parents ask most

Every answer below is based on our actual situation. Where figures change, the campus notice and the Education Bureau's current document prevail.

1. About the kindergarten

Q1: Where are you, and how do I get in touch?
No.200 Kangle Middle Road, Yanjiang District, Ziyang, Sichuan (west of the city, near Zhidicheng Residential Area). Director: 包子妈妈 (Baozi Mama), +86 186 0282 9775 (also on WeChat). WeChat official account and Douyin: "华晨嘉美BB国际双语幼儿园".
Q2: Is this a public or a private kindergarten?
A private kindergarten approved by the Yanjiang District Education and Sports Bureau, founded by Ziyang Yanjiang HCJM Kindergarten Co., Ltd. Level: preschool education. Type: for-profit private kindergarten. Format: full-day. Supervising authority: Yanjiang District Education and Sports Bureau.
Q3: How many campuses do you have in Ziyang? Is the one in Changdao yours?
Only one. Since opening in March 2021 we have not opened any branch, satellite campus or teaching point, have not entered any joint-operation agreement with another institution, and have not authorised any organisation or individual to operate under the HCJM name. Any other kindergarten, childcare centre or training centre whose name contains "华晨嘉美" has no affiliation, partnership or authorisation with us. If in doubt, please call +86 186 0282 9775 to verify.
Q4: When did the kindergarten open?
Construction began in January 2021 and teaching started in March 2021. The campus is designed for 22 classes and 660 children.
Q5: What recognition have you received?
In 2023 we were rated "Grade I Kindergarten" in the Yanjiang District private kindergarten evaluation, and in the same year were named a "Star Kindergarten" and received First Prize in the district's comprehensive quality assessment. In 2021 we received "Advanced Collective" awards for private education work and for school environmental protection. In both 2024 and 2025 we received the district's "Advanced Collective" award for school food safety.

2. Fees and admissions

Q6: What are the tuition, meal and bus fees?
Per the rates filed with the Yanjiang District Education and Sports Bureau: tuition CNY 9,800 per semester, meals CNY 2,500 per semester, school bus CNY 900 per semester (optional). These are the standard items; anything else, such as uniforms or field trips, is announced in advance and is optional.
Q7: Are you a subsidised (inclusive) kindergarten? Why are fees higher than a public one?
We are a for-profit private kindergarten and not an inclusive, subsidised one, so we do not receive the inclusive-kindergarten subsidy and our fees are higher than public or subsidised kindergartens. The difference is mainly in staff ratios, international bilingual teaching, over ten thousand square metres of outdoor space with our own ecological farm, and facilities such as the go-kart park and skating rink.
Q8: Under the national free-preschool policy, do senior classes still pay?
Under Sichuan's phased free-preschool policy, eligible children receive a reduction in tuition, and private kindergartens apply a reduction by reference to comparable public kindergartens locally. The exact amount and start date follow the document issued by the Yanjiang District Education and Sports Bureau for that year. Once implemented, we will publish the reduction on campus; the amount families actually pay follows that notice.
Q9: When do you enrol, how do we apply, and what documents are needed?
Intakes in September (autumn) and March (spring). Places are limited, so please call three to six months in advance to register or visit. Applications normally require the household register, the child's birth certificate, the vaccination record and the entry health-check report; the exact list and timing follow the annual admissions notice. Call +86 186 0282 9775 to confirm.
Q10: Is there a school bus, and which areas do you cover?
Yes — CNY 900 per semester, entirely optional. Routes and stops are adjusted each semester according to where enrolled children live; when you register, please ask whether the current route covers your address.

3. Classes and staff

Q11: What qualifications do your teachers hold? Do teachers change often?
All homeroom teachers hold a PRC kindergarten teaching certificate, carers hold a childcare vocational certificate, and the management team is certified. A teaching director oversees daily teaching and a curriculum director oversees bilingual teaching and staff training; teachers take part in termly research and training. You are welcome to ask, on a visit, how long the current class teachers have been with us.
Q12: What are your staff-to-child ratios?
Under 1 (childcare centre): 1:2 with nursery nurses. Age 1–2 (intensive-care class): 18 children with 4 staff. Age 2–3 (small class / pre-small class): 20–25 children, with 5–6 staff in the first semester settling to the standard 3 teachers + 1 carer. Middle and senior classes: about 25–30 and 30 children respectively, at the standard 3 teachers + 1 carer. Primary-transition class: 2 teachers + 1 carer, plus specialist teachers for pinyin, maths, calligraphy and character recognition.

Day to day you can also speak to your class teacher or call +86 186 0282 9775.

4. Curriculum

Q14: How is bilingual education taught? Are there international teachers?
We practise immersive bilingual education: international and Chinese teachers co-create the language environment and weave English into daily activities, farm work and nature exploration, rather than isolated vocabulary drills or whole-class lecturing. Our curriculum principal is responsible specifically for bilingual teaching and teacher training.
Q15: Apart from bilingual teaching, what else is in the curriculum?
Play is the core activity. The curriculum covers the five developmental domains, project-based inquiry (for example "the journey of a seed" and "our animal friends"), a forest classroom outdoors, and specialist courses in ceramics, baking, LEGO, music, art, roller skating and go-karting.
Q16: How much outdoor time do children get, and how big is the space?
The site totals 40,000 m²: 11,639.82 m² site area, 8,515.72 m² building area and 9,890.82 m² of outdoor extension space; together with our forest and farm, about 25,000 m² of ecological learning space. Outdoors there are large and modular play structures, sensory equipment, balance bikes, a sand-and-water area, forest trails, a go-kart park and a competition-grade skating rink, ensuring generous daily outdoor time.
Q17: Do you prepare children for primary school?
Yes. Our senior and primary-transition classes work on habits, task awareness, early reading and writing and mathematical thinking, so that children move into primary school smoothly. Details are best discussed on a visit.

5. Childcare, ages 0–3

Q18: What ages do you accept? Is there a toddler class?
We run a registered childcare centre, filed in June 2022, accepting children aged 0–3. It is managed as one campus with the kindergarten and shares its grounds and support services; at three, children move naturally into our small class.
Q19: How many childcare places are there, and how many children per adult?
156 registered places, in mixed-age classes (18 children) and toddler classes (20 children), with a 1:3 ratio so every child receives close attention. The centre has 42 care and education staff, holding teaching certificates, nursery-nurse certificates and early-years guidance qualifications.
Q20: Are childcare fees the same as kindergarten fees?
Yes, identical: tuition CNY 9,800 per semester, meals CNY 2,500 per semester, and school bus CNY 900 per semester (optional). There is no surcharge for younger children.

6. Food and safety

Q21: What do the children eat, and where does it come from?
A professional central kitchen holding a Grade A licence, operating with an open-kitchen policy. Rice, flour, oil, meat, poultry, eggs, dairy, vegetables and fruit are delivered under contract by licensed suppliers; business licences, food-operation permits and inspection certificates are kept with each delivery and checked and logged daily, so every item is traceable. Menus are designed by a nutritionist around the seasons and children's growth needs, published weekly, and personalised for children with allergies.
Q22: How many meals a day?
Three meals and two snacks daily, planned by a national-level nutritionist. Our kitchen holds the provincial Grade A licence, the highest level in the provincial catering assessment. Nothing is kept over from one meal to the next; besides teachers eating with the children, parents are invited at random to join meals — high safety standards, and food you can trust.
Q23: Does the farm supply vegetables for the children?
No. Our own forest and farm is the children's nature classroom and place of real work: they sow, watch things grow and feed the animals there, learning about the cycle of life and building responsibility. It is not a food source — all food comes from licensed contracted suppliers so that safety is fully traceable.
Q24: How is safety managed? Can parents see?
360° smart security across the campus, full camera coverage and facial-recognition access control; three rounds of environmental disinfection daily and timed high-temperature sterilisation of tableware and toys; and a health-support agreement with the Shizishan Community Health Centre in Yanjiang District. Childcare parents can follow their child's day in real time through the dedicated app.
Q25: How do we know how our child is doing?
Through the class group and our app we share photos, meal and sleep records and the daily routine; we hold open days, parenting workshops and parent meetings; and each semester we provide a growth portfolio and developmental feedback. You are welcome to book a conversation at any time.

7. Other questions

Q26: Can we visit? Do we need to book?
Please do. We recommend booking by phone with the director, 包子妈妈 (Baozi Mama), on +86 186 0282 9775. A teacher will walk you through classrooms, function rooms, outdoor areas and the kitchen, and answer questions about fees, curriculum and class size. You may also ask to see our operating licence, filed fee schedule and annual inspection results.
Q27: Can a child transfer in or withdraw mid-year, and what about refunds?
This follows the education authority's rules on fees and refunds for private kindergartens and the enrolment agreement; the refund proportion and procedure are as set out in that agreement. If you need to transfer or withdraw, please talk to us in advance and we will help with the paperwork and records transfer.
