We’ve attended classes from Books and Me since 2019, and truly appreciate the option to not only learn Chinese but to have general interest classes taught IN chinese. It’s important to us that our kids see that Chinese is used by people other than family members, so they have more motivation to continue to use the language.Our favorite classes have been art, which teaches technique in a wide variety of mediums, preschool Chinese (songs, storytime, basic character recognition using fun materials like clay and sand — not just flashcards like traditional schools might), the toddler music class, and the free storytime. We’ve also borrowed children’s books from the library, and the librarians are all very kind. They even have coloring sheets, crayons, and some puzzles for kids.

We came to Books and Me regularly when my child was a toddler! It was great because there was story time, chinese painting classes and abacus classes throughout the Saturdays. There was also a preschool Chinese class we attended with three to four other children with an excellent and engaging teacher! We started abacus there and this helped our child with manipulative as well as created familiarity with numbers. There was a community feel because the parents would wait for the kids and read books with the big library for their children in interim. Sadly, the pandemic really took a toll on this center. And in combination, with the modern day world - many parents just want to do drop off. There is a wealth of information here and if parents take time to read to their children, it is so much more quality time and joy to be spent with them. We hope that with things getting normal again, families can come back and support this nonprofit organization. There is an excellent curated selection of books and the volunteers really make the center a loving and caring place.

Just paid a visit to this Chinese Children's library. Very large collection of great Children's book in traditional and simplified Chinese. It's a gem of our community. They also offer different classes for children, esp. Abacus and art classes. The library and classes follow the Covid19 Guideline for the safety of young children.
