Hi, I’m Theola

I’m a second generation, Canadian-born, Cantonese-speaking mother. I grew up attending Cantonese school on the weekends and wanted to provide the same experience for my son to preserve our culture. 

The resources didn't exist in Portland. 
So I created Cantonese Play + Learn.

We started as a small group of like-minded parents.

Meeting monthly to teach our children Cantonese and give them a space to play together.

Word quickly spread.

We were featured in newspaper articles in print and online.

Soon our little playgroup became a big community.

Made up of over 200 nuclear and multi-generational families, and growing steadily each month.

Serving the Portland Metro area and beyond.

Families with infants and young children travel significant distances to join us.
