The curriculum and kids' daily activities are really solid. My daughter often brings back her work when I pick her up. There are paintings, origami, plants, and other kinds of handcrafts. During the day, we would receive photos or videos of our daughter at school. This gives us great visibility on what's going on with our daughter during the day time. Bear cub school has good precaution against covid. When having lunch, two kids share one table with plastic shield dividing the table. In other time, everyone wears mask. Our daughter left bear cub one month ago only because it's too far from our home. We got a surprising farewell gift from the school, which is a booklet of photos and teacher's comments for every week since day 1. This records the growth of our daughter at school, and we strongly believe that teachers in bear cub care about kid's growth and will do everything they can to help kids.

We could not be happier with this daycare! For our family, the two best days of 2022 were 1) having…read moreour baby daughter and 2) getting our son into Bear Cub Mandarin. (but actually :)) Our son is 2.5 years old and as a COVID baby born March 2020. He was shy and scared in new settings. Now, he's the "big talker" in the toddler class, according the monthly newsletter that the staff sends out. He can name his feelings, friends, and interests. He cleans up after himself (most of the time...). He's more creative and shows off his art projects. Vickie the director is professional, attentive, and understanding. Each teacher in the toddler class is beyond caring. And the owner MaeLynn pours her heart and soul into the daycare, making it the experience she'd want for her own kids because they go there too! I'm Chinese American and my husband is Caucasian American. It was important to us for our children to speak Mandarin. Not only does Bear Cub Mandarin make this dream a reality, but also, and more importantly, they provide such a loving, communicative, and safe environment everyday for our newly "big talker". Thank you, BCM Team!

Most have been teaching there for several years. They find a way to turn everything into a learning experience and foster independence in the children.

Initially they had him take a practice test and interviewed him to see who would be the best fit to work with him.

I absolutely recommend this place over any group class, software, private tutor, etc.

Kwong Kow was where I went for summer school and Saturday (some years, Sunday) school to learn…read moreChinese for many years! They're located on Tyler St, a pretty tight, one way street, near Tufts. They offer weekend classes to learn Mandarin or Cantonese, summer programs, instrument lessons (Chinese dulcimer, violin, Chinese guzheng), traditional dance classes, Kung fu, & lion dancing classes. Although I don't remember much of what I learned, it was still a good experience! My Chinese nowadays is quite broken, due to just not speaking the language at all for many years, but I had a great time when I went to KKCS. I had learned to read, write, & speak Mandarin, middle-high school level. Highly recommend sending your kids here to learn some Chinese or sign them up for activities here & if you want to learn Chinese yourself, this is a great place to go!

As someone who grew up immersed in both Western and Chinese culture and languages, I completely…read moretook for granted my Chinese roots. Now that I'm a parent I feel responsible for passing on the same values, languages and culture to my kids and was looking for a fun way to help them embrace their Chinese heritage. I coincidentally heard about this Chinese school from a family member who read about it in the Brookline Tab newspaper. My family and I are relatively new to the school but have been pleasantly surprised by the abundant offerings of language and extracurricular activities for both children and adults. They have classes that range from Mandarin, art (Chinese brush painting, sketching), performance art (Chinese Peking Opera, Chinese dancing), STEM (math, SAT prep), strategy games (chess, Go), and musical instruments (Erhu/Chinese violin), etc. As strange as this sounds, my kids actually look forward to attending the school on the weekends. I highly encourage other families to check out the school's offerings by visiting their website. You don't have to be Chinese to join, as long as you're interested in learning and having fun you'll find this to be a great experience. They are located at the Brookline High School and offer classes between 2-5:30 pm on Saturdays. Abundant parking is available on weekends so that's also pretty convenient.

tl;dr - Japanese Language Class Boston is amazing! I already recommend it to my friends and…read morecoworkers. I took Japanese through college; however, I had not had much opportunity to practice or maintain my language abilities in the years since graduation. Here's where Japanese Language Class Boston (JLCB) came in. Sachiko-sensei and Mari-sensei have been incredible resources helping me prepare for JLPT N-4 and prepare my language abilities for working in Japan. Since beginning with JLCB in July 2018, I've taken a variety of intermediate classes (Intermediate Conversation, N-4 Preparatory Class, Genki-2, and more), all have which broadened my vocabulary, grammar, and conversation skills. With JLCB's help, I successfully interviewed in Japanese and received a job offer in Japan! I move to Tokyo in August! :) Additional things to consider: the location, Post Office square, has been incredibly convenient. It is in the heart of downtown Boston easily accessible by all four T lines plus a ~5min walk. The students here are very friendly, a mix of levels (in a good way) and all looking to improve their language skills. The teachers are always looking for ways to tailor the course to the students' wants and needs. Whether your starting learn for the first time or looking for that extra push toward fluency, I'm confident that JLCB can help you accomplish your goals.

When I first started my lessons here, I had already passed N4 on the JLPT and was looking for more…read moreopportunities to continue my Japanese language studies. Unfortunately there are not many options in the Downtown Boston area that are easily accessible for working individuals. Luckily I came across Japanese Language Class Boston and decided to give it a try. I am now in my second year here and still plan on taking as many lessons as I can. There is a lot to learn and the instructors here have so much to offer and are very patient. They do want to make sure that you are getting the most out of the lessons and it shows in the way that they plan their curriculum. You will be asked what you want to learn in the lessons. Jump at the chance and let them know. You won't regret it. That said, no matter what skill level you're at or what industrial background you're from, there is bound to be a class here that is right for you. I am learning for personal interest, some are learning for business purposes. Group lessons available on most days of the week so you will be able to make it to one or two of the classes. Private lessons are also available. I definitely recommend starting your Japanese learning experience here!

This preschool has truly been a blessing for our son Nicholas. He has spent 2,5 years there and we…read morecould not be happier. Principal Donna and all the staff are amazing and caring people that love kids. Nicholas started going there when he was just 2 years and 9 months. His native language was Russian, and he didn't speak any English at the time. Also he was very attached to home and us - his parents. So it was quite a transition for him, but his teachers went above and beyond to make him feel welcome and help him get adjusted. And in the course of 2,5 years he has made a lot of friends, both among kids and teachers. The school has a bright spacious facility with lots of room to play, both inside and outside. Preschool programs are very creative and engaging. Nicholas was very happy to go to school every morning and came back with lots of memories and lots of crafty little (and sometimes large) things he has made together with his class during the day. Overall this was the best preschool we could have chosen for our son!
