Marco Polo, Where curiosity meets connection. Todayโs petting zoo brought classroom learning to life through hands-on discovery. โจ๐
Marco Polo Children's School
Marco Polo Children's School is a dual language immersion, Reggio Emilia preschool in Irvine that serves children from 18 months to 5 years old.
Join us at Marco Polo School for an hour with Clarissa Ngo, founder of Imaginate Ink and a educator and mentor with over 27 years of experience. A Harvard graduate, Clarissa has guided students from preschool age onward, helping them build the skills, habits, and heart to solve problems in original ways. Many of her students have gone on to top-tier universities on full scholarships โ and eight have given TED Talks.
Clarissaโs original method shares Marco Poloโs heart: she calls her own work an extension of what we do here every day. In this workshop, sheโll talk about how to nurture imagination, curiosity, and creativity in the early years โ the foundation that helps children grow into confident, promising young adults.
If youโve ever felt unsure how to prepare your child for a fast-changing world, this hour is for you.

We celebrate a very special milestone.
Many of these children have been part of our Marco Polo family since their toddler years. We have watched them take their first steps into a classroom, form lifelong friendships, discover their voices, and grow into confident, kind, and capable learners.
While it is bittersweet to say goodbye, our hearts are filled with pride as they take their next step forward. Thank you to our families for trusting us with these precious years.
Congratulations, Class of 2026 ๐๐

A special invitation from Marco Polo School. ๐ฟ
We are honored to welcome Clarissa Ngo for an afternoon with parents of young children.
A Harvard graduate with 27 years of experience, Clarissa has guided students to TED stages, Fulbright scholarships, and Forbes 30 Under 30. And the heart of her work begins in the preschool years โ with small, daily habits in how a child imagines, speaks, and gives. Done consistently, those habits shape who they become.
Open to Marco Polo families and parents across Irvine with preschool-age children. Come ready to listen, reflect, and take notes. ๐
