NDIME is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that strengthens early childhood dual immersion systems by training educators to effectively deliver Mandarin and English immersion to children ages 0–8, fostering strong bilingual foundations through evidence-based methods, cultural engagement, and school-community partnerships, while building a sustainable Mandarin educator pipeline in Southern California.
NDIME exists to address the shortage of qualified early childhood Mandarin teachers, strengthen children’s bilingual abilities and cultural identity, and expand Mandarin learning beyond the classroom into homes and communities through demonstration centers, teacher training, and collaborative cultural programs.
