My daughter attended Challenge School summer camp for two weeks. After the first day she started her Chinese camp, she was already speaking Chinese at home. Before she has never attended a Chinese school or camp and all she learned from was us at home speaking Chinese. She didn't speak Chinese back instead it would be English. But since she started going to Chinese camp, she was able to say things in Chinese to us and loves Chinese in which we are very pleased.

My daughter just graduated preschool at Challenge, and she already misses it so much! From the moment she stepped through the doors each day, her teachers Hanan and Frances greeted her with boundless enthusiasm and genuine kindness. Their dedication to their craft is truly remarkable. My daughter is also still enamored with her previous ladybug class teacher, Elsa. It's clear that the teachers at Challenge Preschool genuinely care about the kids, and my daughter feels the same way about them.As a result of attending here, my daughter is much more fluent in Mandarin, has lots of experiences with the various Chinese holidays, and is well equipped with the social and hard skills to enter kindergarten as a joyful student!

Our daughter just graduated from the Butterfly class of Challenge School. She attended from 4-5 years old. She had an amazing experience at Challenge, in particular thanks to her great teachers Teacher Hanan and Teacher Francis, and the rest of the staff who work with the kids. Before Challenge, our daughter was quiet, lacked confidence and social skills, and was uncomfortable with Chinese/Mandarin. After attending Butterfly class in Challenge, we have seen her confidence soar, she has grown holistically, and she looks forward to school every single day. Even on weekends, she wishes that she could go to school. THANK YOU Teacher Hanan and Teacher Francis for your love and care towards the students, they truly learnt so much from you. In fact, my daughter loves her teachers so much, she has decided she wants to be a teacher when she grows up! No one in our family has any teacher background, so this is testament to the positive experience she has had from Teachers Hanan and Francis this year. Last thing I'll mention is that Teacher Evaluation / Parent Conference sessions were thorough and demonstrated a lot of attentiveness the teachers had towards each student. They were able to identify specific traits and anecdotes for our daughter, which made us feel like they really understood her and paid attention to her.

My daughter just graduated from preschool with loads of beautiful memories. She had a great experience at the Challenge School during her two years . (Ladybug and butterfly class).The Challenge School have provided a positive and enriching environment for our daughter's early education.Teacher Hannan and Teacher Frances were great teachers who took care of and nurtured the children in the butterfly class. I would also like to Thank Teacher Elsa and Rommeh for their love , care and support.Having teachers who genuinely care about their students' well-being and growth creates a positive and supportive learning environment. It's essential for young children to feel safe, loved, and valued in their classrooms.

My children attend the preschool, after-school, and enrichment programs. I highly recommend this school for the following reasons:1. NAEYC accreditation2. WASC accreditation Chinese curriculum - My children are fluent in Chinese though no one at home speaks it to them.3. Cleanliness - The school is thoroughly cleaned every day after the school is closed.4. Teachers - They are some of the nicest, most caring people I've ever met. I trust them to care for my children.5. Convenience of the after-school program - They will pick up your child from some of the local elementary schools and will alert you through an app. Though pick-up requires at least 2 children from the same school to attend the after-school program. Enrichment programs are available on-site through the after-school program for additional costs.

Preschool here is structured and well organized. Kids get a good balance of curriculum and play. Challenge organizes numerous social and performance events throughout the year, which we've always enjoyed. The afterschool program offers many high quality enrichment classes. Challenge also provides camps whenever regular school is closed or on break, making it convenient for working parents.

I sent my daughter to Challenge san mateo campus and she enjoyed it. I appreciate all the teachers spent a lot of love on her and I can see her grow in the past year. She is a very sensitive kid and slow to adjust the environment. Challenge creates a warm and friendly environment which help her to feel comfortable and excited to play and learn. Challenges also have a lot of fun activities, such as activities to celebrate Chinese New Year and egg huntings. It invites all the parents to join together and celebrate with all kids. Thank you to all the teachers and staffs at Challenge!

I feel so blessed that I found the Challenge. The school years in Challenge make my 4th-year daughter much happier. The teachers are professional and sweet. I could feel they express their love from their own hearts. Every day I can see my daughters improve and the teachers would bring daily feedback to me. Challenge school is top choice for our family

As a parent, I am happy to share my experience with Butterfly class. Teacher Frances and Hanan are dedicated and passionate teachers. They create a warm and nurturing atmosphere, which helps children feel comfortable and excited to learn.Challenge Preschool celebrates various Chinese festivals and traditions, exposing children to the rich heritage and vibrant customs of Chinese culture. This not only instills a sense of pride but also fosters multicultural awareness and understanding among the young learners. My child has major improvement in mandarin. He has also grow into a more confidence individual.
