Activity Overview:
 
Monthly flag-raising ceremonies are held to strengthen the children's sense of national identity.
The essence of traditional Chinese culture is integrated into daily learning and play, allowing children to explore and experience the culture more deeply. Activities include teahouse experiences, learning about tea leaves and tea brewing, shadow puppetry, making osmanthus cakes, and exploring Chinese musical instruments. Children learn by doing and enjoy themselves through diverse, hands-on experiences.
Festivals such as the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lunar New Year, and the Dragon Boat Festival serve as opportunities for children to learn about the origins, customs, traditional foods, and celebrations associated with these holidays. Children wear traditional Chinese attire to participate in cultural activities—such as lion dance performances, parent-child *zongzi* (sticky rice dumpling) making, and dragon boat-themed games—allowing them to experience the joy of traditional Chinese festivals. Parents are invited to participate in these events, further strengthening the parent-child relationship.
