2023-24 Chinese after-school registration has also begun. (if parents register before May 31, the registration fee will be waived)
As of now, the 2020-2021 school year will start on August 13th, and Chinese classes will officially begin on August 17th (Monday). However, due to the uncertainty of the pandemic, the school has made a few changes to the Student Handbook in accordance with new guidelines.
Because school districts have not yet announced the format of classes, Happy Childhood will follow the newest guidelines and cooperate with English schools, providing our parents with the most convenient services, while ensuring the quality of our students' learning by providing online learning for Chinese lessons.
In response to parents' needs, Daycare services will be open at 8:30am in the morning. We kindly ask that students please bring their own devices, headphones, and chargers. Teachers will assist and supervise students while they are learning online. Due to limited spacing, please text 408-718-2156 to register as soon as possible.
Thank you for asking about summer camp and sharing the summer camp information.
Regarding online teaching in the summer afternoon, there are two classes from Monday to Thursday. Since there are students from other schools asking about our courses, the class time of each grade depends on the number of students enrolled and the level of Chinese. The two classes in the afternoon will start at 2:00 pm and end before 4: 30 pm.
Since our online courses also provide hand-made lessons, if you are sure that your child will choose summer online courses, please register first by sending text to (408) 718-2156, in order to prepare teaching materials, then send registration form with check to Happy Childhood. Thank you!
From next week (5/4/2020), the school will comply with the regulations of Santa Clara health department and provide daycare services for parents who must go out to work.

During the opening period, teachers and students entering school must measure body temperature and bring their own masks. In the afternoon, we still have Chinese online teaching, parents can prepare iPads or computers for their children. If there is further news from the relevant department, we will keep in touch with parents.
In order to prevent our students from leaving Chinese behind during the suspension period, There is a daily Chinese ZOOM online teaching from Monday to Thursday, start from next Monday (3/23).Chinese online teaching and math practice in the school are provided for two weeks (3/23-4/3).
