Coming to Canada at age 6, Eveline has learned that maintaining more than one home language is not easy! Now, as a mother of two, with a BC teacher background, Eveline has spent her last 10 years teaching Cantonese to her girls and other families at local community centres. She is passionate about preserving the Cantonese language and is dedicated to supporting families who want to learn. Eveline is the owner of Rhythm ’N’ Rhyme, which offers programs for ages 0-12. In the past 5 years, Eveline, together with Locy Lee, an amazing song-writer and teacher in the UK, have written over 80 Cantonese children songs for their Roundabout Cantonese Music Program. The songs reflect children's daily life and just everyday silliness. Eveline’s music sessions are filled with dancing, singing, and playing. She believes that it's always easier to learn when you’re having fun!
Stroller parking is available. Please take off your shoes when you come in (bring cozy socks, slippers or indoor shoes). *Remember if you or your child are feeling unwell, have a cough, sniffles, or a runny nose, please stay home.
