As parents, selecting the ideal enrichment programme for our children can be quite a journey. To help parents decide on the best Chinese learning centre for their children’s enrichment, The New Age Parents has chosen Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan Arts & Cultural Troupe (SHHKACT) as the winner of our “2024 Best Children Chinese Learning Centre” award.

Here are 5 reasons why SHHKACT stands out as an exemplary Chinese learning centre that parents should consider.

1. A Rich Legacy of Learning and Culture

Imagine a place where children not only learn Chinese but are immersed in it through every activity, every song, and every performance. This is the core of SHHKACT’s curriculum.

SHHKACT is dedicated not just to language education but aims to foster a deep love and appreciation for Chinese culture. This established centre has been a steadfast pioneer in teaching Chinese Speech and Drama since 1986, accumulating over three decades of experience.

2. High Quality Chinese Enrichment Programmes

SHHKACT is the market leader in expanding quality programmes integrating Chinese language and culture into their curriculum.

Its wide range of programmes, designed for children aged 18 months to 16 years, are not simply about learning Chinese; but more importantly, being immersed in the history and values that accompany 5,000 years of Chinese culture. It is incredibly rewarding to see children grow in confidence and cultural awareness through these programmes.

3. Supporting Every Learner

SHHKACT programmes are not just for children who are already excelling in their Chinese lessons. This innovative centre is particularly adept at supporting students who require additional assistance with varied activities are designed to boost confidence and enhance skills.

For instance, their Speech & Drama classes involve role-playing, which helps children use Chinese in real-life contexts, thereby improving fluency and comprehension. Broadcasting classes teach clear and expressive articulation, which benefits children who might be shy or struggle with pronunciation. Furthermore, the Creative Writing classes encourage children to write their own stories, allowing their creativity to flourish in another language.

4. Fun Programmes for Every Age

SHHKACT offers a wide range of programmes tailored to children from toddlers to secondary school students. For example, The Twinkle Tots programme introduces the basics of Chinese through songs, games, and storytelling, making learning engaging for the little ones.

Primary school children can enjoy Speech & Drama classes, where they learn to express themselves confidently in Chinese, or the Calligraphy and Chinese Painting Programme, which uses interactive heritage activities tapping on ancient forms of expression to enhance their language skills.

Older children can join Creative Writing and Broadcasting classes, where they develop their self-expression skills. Additionally, SHHKACT offers special holiday programmes to keep the learning excitement going during school breaks!

5. A Parent’s Perspective: Lin Hui’s Story

SHHKACT has made a deep impact in enriching many families with the love of Chinese language and culture. Parents such as Lin Hui have seen the remarkable change in their children’s Chinese competency and confidence via SHHKACT’s programmes, leading to personal growth and engaged minds.

Stories like these truly highlight the significant impact SHHKACT has on children and families. If you are seeking a place where your child can not only learn Chinese but also develop a genuine love for it, SHHKACT is the perfect choice.
