Bring your little ones aged 0-5 years to enjoy a delightful monthly session filled with Cantonese songs, rhymes, and engaging storytelling. This program is designed to nurture early literacy skills while celebrating Cantonese language and culture in a fun and interactive way.
Parents and carers are encouraged to participate alongside their children, creating a warm and supportive environment for language learning and family bonding. Each session promises a joyful experience that sparks curiosity and a love for stories.
Whether your child is a native speaker or just beginning to explore Cantonese, this sing-along is a wonderful opportunity to immerse them in language through music and play.
The sessions are held on the first Wednesday of every month, running from 10:00 to 10:30 in the morning. The program starts on 2026-07-01 and continues monthly until 2026-12-02.
Participation is free but requires booking for each session via Eventbrite. Booking is essential as spaces are limited and sessions often fill up quickly. Children must be accompanied by a parent or carer, and all attendees need to be booked in advance.
