Rotating playground meetups around San Francisco so our little ones can play together while they chat in Mandarin 😄
All Mandarin levels welcome — from inspired to learn, to learning, to fluent

Beyond our regular playground meetups, we're planning members-only gatherings that bring Mandarin to life for little ones — the kind of events that are hard to find anywhere else in the city.
Questions about the group, an idea for a playground, or a partnership inquiry — parents, brands, venues, and press are all welcome.

Mandarin PlayGroup (San Francisco) started with a simple idea: our little ones learn Mandarin best when they're having fun with friends. So we meet at playgrounds around the city — a different neighborhood each time — and let the kids do what they do best: play.
You don't need to be fluent. Plenty of us are learning right alongside our toddlers, and every level of Mandarin makes the group better.
