Quality Time Family – Course
Enjoy outdoor adventures, creative art projects, photography, role-play, and real-life English games — all designed for parents and children to bond and grow together. Build trust, practice English naturally, and create joyful family memories that last a lifetime.
Unlock the Power of Family Connection and Personal Growth
The Quality Time Family course is not simply a schedule of fun—it’s a carefully designed space for families to reconnect, communicate with intention, and grow side by side.
The Quality Time Family Course invites both children and adults into an engaging series of hands-on experiences that promote joy, resilience, and emotional insight.
In an age where attention is scattered and learning often feels mechanical, this course brings warmth, clarity, and presence back into the family experience.
Over the span of ten sessions, families participate in a range of creative and meaningful activities—tie-dyeing, clay sculpting, photography challenges, phonetics games, gratitude discussion circles, and more.
These are more than just projects; they’re moments of discovery where language becomes playful, expression becomes natural, and shared memories are formed. Whether you’re exploring boundaries in a safe environment or painting watercolor dreams after a story, the process invites connection that’s both honest and joyful.
The sessions are guided by Experienced educators, supported by an enthusiastic community of parent volunteers, and hosted in beautiful locations like Clifford Village Lake and Clifford Estates. Each session is prepared with care—balancing structure and spontaneity—so that families can fully engage without stress. Children are free to explore, and adults are encouraged to participate as equals, creating a rare balance where all voices are heard and valued.
At its heart, this course is about presence: being available to each other in ways that are too often overlooked. It promotes trust, communication, shared purpose, and confidence—in both language and life. For Chinese families especially, it offers a rare and motivating environment to practice English not as a school subject, but as a living, breathing part of their story. Join us to experience learning that feels alive, expressive, and unforgettable—for the whole family.
Course Outline
Course Outline: Quality Time Family Course
The Quality Time Family Course offers ten hands-on, inspiring sessions designed to support family connection, English language development, emotional intelligence, and creative expression. Each class offers a different theme—from scavenger hunts and role-playing to clay sculpture and mindfulness circles—providing families with a space to connect meaningfully while having fun. Designed with both local and ESL families in mind, the course encourages real-life communication in English and promotes confidence through active participation rather than passive instruction.
The curriculum blends language, creativity, and personal growth. Children and adults engage in shared activities like making marbled art, practicing tongue twisters, designing a family mood board, or performing in improvisational games. These experiences not only build language skills and expressive confidence, but also help participants practice listening, collaboration, and emotional communication—skills often overlooked in traditional education.
Every session is thoughtfully planned to create memorable, real-world learning moments. Whether painting a watercolor story, reflecting in a gratitude circle, or co-creating clay sculptures, families explore and express in ways that are tactile, playful, and meaningful. There’s room for laughter, questions, imagination, and even quiet reflection. While the tone is lighthearted, the developmental value is deep: participants walk away with tools for communication, creativity, and shared problem-solving.
More than just a series of classes, this course promotes the value of spending meaningful time together. It encourages children and parents alike to take off their “roles” and become fellow explorers—learning, playing, and growing side by side. Through this shared experience, families strengthen their bond and build a foundation for ongoing communication, mutual respect, and emotional intelligence. It’s a rare space where both English learning and family life become joyful, natural, and deeply connected.

Class 1 – Photography Scavenger Hunt: Discovering the World Through a Lens
Families begin their adventure outdoors, exploring the natural world through playful photography challenges.

The day finishes with creative reflection—sharing stories behind the images and crafting art from leaves and natural materials collected on the way.
Class 2 – Happy Spaces: Learning Personal and Emotional Boundaries
This class introduces children and adults to the idea of boundaries—not as restrictions, but as tools for respect, safety, and healthy communication.

A high-energy session focused on English pronunciation, using tongue twisters, rhythm, and movement to improve clarity and confidence.

It’s language learning in its most engaging and memorable form.
Class 4 – Paper & Fabric Marbling: The Art of Flow and Color
Creativity takes center stage as families explore the calming, hands-on practice of marbling. Participants create swirling patterns on paper and fabric using simple tools and vivid colors.

Class 9 – Story & Watercolor: Telling Tales Through Brush and Ink
This class begins with a shared story, sparking imagination and setting a creative mood. Children and parents then explore watercolor painting, illustrating their own versions of the story or inventing new narratives through their art. It’s a class of quiet joy and deep connection—where storytelling and art become one shared language.
Class 10 – Tie-Dye Creations: Wearable Art and the Joy of Surprise
The final session brings color, movement, and excitement as families learn tie-dye techniques and make their own vivid shirts or scarves.
