Through developmentally appropriate activities and research-based curricula, we help children and youth ages 0 to 18 with cognitive development, school readiness, and becoming thriving individuals who contribute back to our community and succeed in global society. If your children are new to the United States, we ensure that they develop with the social-emotional stability they need for adjusting to American society and experiencing a positive blend of cultures. We also encourage non-immigrant, non-Chinese families to join us for an enriching cultural experience. We welcome those with disabilities!
JiaBao and her family immigrated to the United States from China in 2015 when she was twelve. No one in the family spoke English, which made assimilation into American society challenging. She and her younger brother found support and friendship at CASL. They learned English, got help with school work, and participated in leadership training, art workshops, and volunteer opportunities. The CASL Youth Development program helped JiaBao assimilate so successfully that she has become an exemplary leader who co-founded a volleyball club at her school. She is preparing to be the first person in her family to go to college.
The language barrier made it hard for JiaBao’s father to find work to support the family. He enrolled in the CASL Culinary Training Program to learn Western-style cooking skills and vocational English. CASL also helped her father secure a position as a professional cook after graduating from the program – a job he is still in.
