This place has been wonderful for my two girls neither of whom spoke Mandarin before attending Hanlin. I often hear them practicing Mandarin words at home and one night my daughter asked me in Mandarin if she could go to the bathroom. They like the teachers very much and the atmosphere seems relaxed which has been important for me since this is after school and I don't want them to be confined to a chair all day. When one of my girls was struggling with abacus, the staff took time to help her and now she loves it and always wants to do it.

I will give this school zero star if I could . If you want your kid to learn Chinese, this is not the right place to stay. Most of the teacher don't have American or Cali teacher license . Most of Kindergarten teachers came from China who don't speak English and they use Chinese teaching style to teach kid, they like yelling to students. The teacher don't know how to teach. Also, the teacher has very low responds to accident, my son failed down two weeks ago, but none of the teacher told me and no any report until I found the blood on his pant when we got home. I don't recommend everyone to let your kids go to this after school.

Um.. so I already wrote a review for 690 but I'ma write one here because well why not? So... I actually did like hanlin when I was a kid idk and that's why I give three stars. Personally I think the kindergartens wayyyy better than the other places lol . I had a nice teacher xiang 老师 dunno which xiang it is.. not sure what this place is like now... ( Its been like 5 years). About this placr: There's a play area, kitchen and tables for kids and a piano, three classrooms I think... Forgot the the other teachers names but idk if they're still there ... Also there's an outdoor area I think they added a trampoline mightve been removed.. there used to be bunnies or are they still there? Idk... Anyways, if this place is somewhat like what it used to be, it's probably an okish place, but definitely not the best (no offense meant, really). Thanks for reading bye :)
