Happy Panda Kids was founded in 2018 with the mission statement “Language, Culture & Academic Growth – All in One Place.” Programs span from TK to middle school and use a structured Chinese curriculum, including Youerhanyu (幼儿汉语) for TK and kindergarten, Chinese Made Easy for Kids for 1st–5th grade, and a middle school Chinese program that includes Integrated Chinese and AP Chinese materials. The program features small class sizes, native Mandarin teachers, pinyin and character writing, conversational practice, daily homework help and academic support across subjects, daily homework help, enrichment activities, interactive games, Wednesday enrichment classes such as Lego Robotics, clay, drawing, and art, weekly “Fun Friday” project-based activities, and a nurturing bilingual environment.

The founder, Lin, leads Happy Panda Kids Education and has over 10 years of experience teaching Mandarin Chinese. Staff walk students to their 3:30 or 4:00 PM dance classes with East Bay Dance Company, and parents pick up directly from the dance studio. Happy Panda Kids has been serving families in San Ramon, Tri-Valley, and the East Bay and offers early bird and new student discounts, as well as a free trial class. The program takes place in a new, bright, and spacious facility.

Parent testimonials describe Lin as fully prepared, patient, hard-working, kind, professional, and well organized, using lesson books, projects, and various tools such as workbooks, websites, videos, songs, games, and arts and crafts in an interactive way. Families report that Lin brings energy and passion to teaching, is punctual and flexible with scheduling, and works with both school materials and her own materials. Parents of children in the After School and Summer Camp Mandarin Program mention small class sizes, individual attention, a focus on speaking and conversation practice, and their children using Mandarin phrases at home, singing Chinese songs, and showing their writing.
