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.
