Ni Hao! 你好！

We are Alexa and Mia, two bilingual educators, native Mandarin speakers, and best friends.

In April 2021, we launched Early Sparks to share the best Chinese teaching and learning activities for young learners. Our goal is to create fun, engaging resources that make life easier for busy Chinese teachers.

We're building a warm, supportive community where Chinese educators and families can find the tools they need to help children grow confidently on their Chinese language journey.

Fun facts about us:

We were roommates for 3.5 years! Now Alexa lives in Brooklyn, NY and Mia lives in Irvine, CA. Mia has a daughter, Mumu, who is bilingual in English and Mandarin Chinese.
