Motherly Notes

Classes are held online through zoom. Dates and times are listed on the class site. All classes are recorded for ultimate flexibility. If you have extracurricular sports, kids just view the video on that day and come join us on the other days they're available. Other classes are recorded classes and you can go at your own pace.

We will be recording all sessions so all lessons will be available for viewing a few hours after the session. Videos will be available for you to view as many times as you wish.

Absolutely. You can register and view the video replays or if you can join in the live classes at the same time, that would be great too. Video recordings will be available after class.

Each class is different. For regular language classes, age and level suggestions are listed on the page. For Friday fun classes taught by Julie, as long as your child can hold a pencil and draw some shapes, we think it will be beneficial for the child to take the class to listen to Chinese and do some art. We will be reading stories in class and learning characters and idioms according to the theme of the week specific to each class. We have kids as young as 4 take the class and up to adults painting along. However, gaining the full benefits of learning painting and color theory, kindergarten or above would be ideal.

Most of the time you'll need to pay separately for two children. The ONLY exception are the Special Fun classes taught by Julie on Fridays at 4PM where it's one payment each Zoom sign on. You can invite a whole gang to come to your house for a clay, story, karaoke, or paint night!

We set up the class for children who can listen to a simple conversation in Mandarin, or children who would like a more immersion experience for a simple art class given in Mandarin. It may be hard for you to follow along if you don't understand any Chinese but the replays will be available so if you'd like to follow along and replay to enforce your own Chinese learning, that's always welcome as well.

To provide affordable Chinese learning for everyone, we're not limiting the class size for our craft or singing classes. However, our everyday language classes are limited to about 10 students a class.

Please refer to the individual class pages.

Once classes have started, refunds will not be given. Everyday Chinese classes (language classes that are split by levels and come to class four days a week have a 72 hour before first class start refund policy).
