Sing & storytime with Miss Chloe 老师歌唱/故事小组 aka. 日常溜娃 (FREE) : Thursdays, 9:30-10:00 am, followed by free play afterward

This informal gathering was created organically to get parents with toddlers together to share resources and experiences. We are here to support our Chinese-speaking families and give their toddlers an outlet to learn and play before school begins. Our very own Miss Chloe 林老师 hosts these weekly play dates at various parks in Santa Barbara and Goleta. Sing-along session is only 30 minutes long and starts at 9:30am sharp, so don’t be late! Parents are welcome to hang out and socialize or picnic together afterwards. Reach out to Miss Chloe to join the WeChat group today.

Private Mandarin or Cantonese Playtimes: Customized time and location

Form your group of 4-8 students and we can work out a time, space, and curriculum that is suitable to your children’s needs. Subject to instructor availability. Get in touch here.

After School Chinese Clubs

We partner with local elementary schools to offer After School Chinese Clubs — play-based after school enrichment classes where students learn Mandarin through games, crafts, stories, and songs. Please see below for the current list of schools offering After School Chinese Club. If you currently attend the following elementary schools, please look out for sign-up notices directly from the school, or click on the active (red) links below (as dates firm up):

SCHOOL POLICY & Please reference our academic year calendar to plan accordingly. Thank you!

  • TUITION: After School Chinese Clubs at participating elementary schools are priced based on the needs of our partner schools.

  • MEDICAL RELEASE, MEDIA RELEASE, AND LIABILITY WAIVER: All students/guardians are to sign this mandatory waiver before attending our class.

  • Consistent attendance is recommended for students to maintain progress. Absences are at the discretion of the students and their respective family members, though students/families should notify in advance of any class that will be missed.

  • Students must be potty trained and have basic communication skills in order to attend our in-person classes or Chinese Club. Our youngest students tend to be at least 4 years of age.

  • Unless there is an emergency, leaving class early and chronic tardiness is not acceptable. Students are expected to attend the entire period of class. Please plan your other activities to begin after classes have ended. 

  • REFUND POLICY: Withdrawals prior to the start of class can be refunded, less a $50 administrative fee to cover the cost of registration services. To be fair to teachers and students who commit to attend 100% of the time, withdrawals after registration closes - including sick leaves - are not refundable.
