About
The Joy Culture Foundation Enrichment Programs include story time, arts and crafts, toys and board games, and free Chinese storytelling and arts and crafts sessions every week. The program also offers a range of enrichment classes and workshops taught in Chinese, including art, music, dance, science, STEM, and drama. Families can take part in cultural and educational events such as Chinese New Year, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations, as well as the Little Entrepreneur Fair.
• Ages: 0–12 years old
• Schedule: Program activities are available Tuesday to Friday during the day and on weekends during the day
In January 2022, The Joy Culture Foundation established The Little Bookworm Chinese Library in Menlo Park, which includes a large play area for children up to 5 years old and more than 6,000 Chinese children's picture books suitable for ages 0–12 in traditional and simplified Chinese, as well as Cantonese. The Joy Culture Foundation states its mission as providing educational, cultural programs and gathering spaces to help Chinese speaking families build confidence, identity, and community. The organization is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit located in the San Francisco Bay Area and provides an extensive resource platform for families interested in Chinese culture, fostering emotional connections between parents and children through cultural activities and Mandarin education. One parent, Brian Chan, an engineer, shares that his family used to buy Chinese children's books from Taiwan and pay high shipping costs or carry them back from visits, and that discovering the Little Bookworm Library changed their routines by giving his children new Chinese books to read at bedtime every night.
