About the Company

The Joy Culture Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit located in the San Francisco Bay Area, committed to promoting Chinese language and culture. We provide an extensive resource platform for families interested in Chinese culture, fostering emotional connections between parents and children through cultural activities and Mandarin education. In January 2022, we brought our vision to life by establishing The Little Bookworm Chinese Library in Menlo Park. This library not only boasts a vast collection of Chinese children's books but also offers a play area designed for children aged 6 months to 12 years. We aspire to offer children growing up in the United States the chance to immerse themselves comfortably in a Chinese-language environment and to wholeheartedly embrace and appreciate Chinese culture through a wide variety of programs and activities.
