To Dear Parents 给家长的话:

Chinese has been recognized as one of the dominant world languages and of great importance for our younger generations to acquire. Thank you for choosing us as your child’s partner in this second/third language learning journey.

We aim to bring interest-sparking experiences to your little ones with stories, cards and creative activities. To help your child learn, we seek your cooperation to trust us in developing interest in the Chinese language, and as much as possible, create a positive language environment at home using our materials and our online resources.

1. Payment and Requesting For Leave

Payment will be automatically deducted from your account every month, and you may cancel the subscription on your own at any time. For example: Subscription started August 13th, then canceled on September 29th. Therefore classes will end by October 13th. You may then continue where you left off by subscribing again.

How to ask for a leave

We might consider providing the ongoing class as a replacement if you have an emergency situation for 2 classes/month. Please speak to our representative.

2. Platforms used for Classes

We have platform StoryLand and Zoom.

3. Class Rules in Storyland

Please ensure your child joins the class on time and always follows the teacher’s instruction. Please maintain the surrounding quiet during class. Once your child is settled in, turn on the video and pay attention to the teacher. During class, allow your child and the teacher to interact in Storyland’s classroom. Do not walk around the campus while class is ongoing. We will provide enough time for your child to happily explore StoryLand after each class session is completed. Note: Please use a laptop for class.

4. Classes renewal

Per September 2022, our classes are based on subscription. The renewal will be automatically applied monthly and deduct the payment to your credit card. The length period of renewal is based on the subscription you have determined at the first time purchase.

Please speak to our representative if you prefer to pay upfront via transfer to our bank account.

There will be no classes on Chinese New Year (1 week), Hari Raya (1 week), Christmas (1 day) and New Year’s Eve (1 day) and New Year (1 day).

7. Student’s Learning Profile  

The Student’s learning profile is the teacher’s observation of your child’s performance and learning progress. This profile is an important communication between you (the parents), the teachers, and the child.

8. Evaluation and Assessment

There are three levels that your children can join (L1, L2, and L3), each depending on your children’s age and Chinese language proficiency. Periodically through the course, the teacher will fill in a Grading Assessment Form and recommend the most suitable level your child should continue in.

9. Teaching Materials

All teaching materials will be provided, free of shipping, according to your child’s course grade.

10. Languages Used by the Teachers

Each class will have different levels of challenges depending on your children’s grasp of the Chinese language. As such, teachers will use varying levels of  English and Chinese language to communicate.

L1 – The teacher will use some English during class to help your children understand Chinese better.

L2 – The teacher will speak in Chinese as much as possible while teaching. If your child does not understand, the teacher will use English to help explain.

L3 – The teacher will use Chinese throughout class to help children better communicate in Chinese.
