A student may withdraw after a semester has begun and the fees are pro-rated if the student suffers an accident or a prolonged illness, or if the family moves away from the area.

Educational goals

We aim to create a Chinese Immersion environment for children, where they can better develop their confidence and capability to use the Chinese language.  Our program ranges from “hands-on” activities for the early years to advanced units of work requiring fluent reading and accurate writing ability in the older classes and for adults.  Our structured program enables both native and non-native Chinese learners to become confident in their use and understanding of Chinese. 

Insurance

Each student is required to have their own health and accident insurance.  Little China is not liable for any injuries incurred by students while participating in LittleChina activities. Students are responsible for any property damage they cause while at LittleChina.

Personal belongings

Please label personal belongings.  LittleChina cannot be responsible for any personal items left behind.

Privacy of Information

LittleChina uses your Personal Information only for the professional delivery of the high-quality programmes. We may use it to contact you with newsletters and information we deem useful.

Progress Reports for Children

A progress report for each child enrolled at the end of the academic year will be issued at the end of each academic year.  Teachers, however, are willing to discuss your child’s progress with you by appointment at any time during the year.

Safety and Well-being

The safety and well-being of all students are a top priority.  It is important we have updated emergency contact information for all. We also need to be given information about any health issues a student may have.  We are not responsible for students outside of their class times.  Parents allowing children to travel to and from class on their own do so at their own risk.

Schedule for the Academic Year

Program for children follows the Baselland holiday schedule with one exception.  For a current schedule, please go to our website or to the official Baselland school holiday website: http://www.baselland.ch/ferien.  

Sick Children

Please do not bring sick children to LittleChina, even though they may “really” want to come.  Please be considerate of our teachers and others in the class. 

General guidelines: keep your child at home if they feel unwell and/or have had a fever, diarrhea, or vomiting in the previous 24 hours.

Slippers for Children

We request that all children who attend preschool bring a pair of indoor shoes to wear.

We request that all other children bring indoor shoes to wear in class during the winter months.
