Chinese With Meggie

Our daughter has taken language lessons at Chinese with Meggie since she was 2 years old. She’s now 5 and can comprehend, speak (some) and read Chinese fairly well. We LOVE all the teachers at CWM because along with being expert speakers and teachers, they all show a great deal of caring and compassion for the students. Highly recommend!

Very sweet teachers and staff. They care so much about my daughter and you can really tell they enjoy what they do. My three year old has fun in her class and is learning so much.

The teachers appear to be qualified to teach Chinese BUT:
1. the school allowed a violent child to enroll and be in class with other small children.
2. When we reported some violent incidents the school did nothing.
3. My child was attacked during class. The teacher was distracted and did nothing to intervene. My child was on the floor being kicked in the head when I peeked in to see how class was going. I had to go in and pull my kid out. Meggie was present onsite when this happened.
The teachers do not have the skills to manage kids with behavior problems, but Meggie will still allow kids like that to attend class and wreak havoc. Either manage the problem kids with extra staff or kick them out. Period.
It really makes me angry that Meggie apparently put profits ahead of safety by admitting and then not properly supervising or shadowing a violent child. There are better options for Chinese class in Austin.
Meggie did not even apologize to us directly. She delegated the apology which to me shows a real lack of leadership and accountability.

Both my children attend classes here and love it! Can’t say enough about the great teachers and the immersion learning through play works, watching my kiddos’ progress has been wonderful.

We have enrolled our son with this incredibly special teacher for almost a year now and couldn’t be more pleased. He began at maybe 15 months old and is currently exposed to 4 languages and this certainly hasn’t slowed down his English skills! I am thrilled we found Miss Meggie and she has become a huge part of our lives.
Meggie is moving to a new school in the fall and we will undoubtedly follow her there. Her learn through play method is ideal and our guy gets exposure to so many fun things in her classroom, music, dancing, sensory toys, etc etc. Meggie is incredibly gifted and nurturing and her assistant, Miss Nikki, is as well. They have about a 1:4 teacher to student ratio, MAX!
