Who handles registration and parent questions?

Some sessions can include an optional parent showcase at the end. This depends on the school schedule and age group.
Is Mandarin Kids a charity?
Mandarin Kids uses community-based wording by default and does not claim charity or not-for-profit status unless legally registered and explicitly configured to do so.
