FAQ 常見問題

Which Burnaby programs are free?

The library's toddler storytime and Family Fun in Mandarin and Cantonese are both free. Little Words storytime is a paid drop-in. For other programs, check each listing or ask the program.

Is there anything with Jyutping?

Yes. Little Explorers, an on-demand course for ages 3-7 from the Rhythm 'N' Rhyme team, includes Jyutping (Cantonese romanization) vocabulary lists. It's handy for kids who are still learning to read characters.

Why don't some schools show up when I filter by age?

A few Pui Ying schools say "school-age" without a grade range. They still show up by city and type, so ask the school which level fits your child.
