Chinese Community Center: Programs, Events, Hours & Map

Chinese Community Center Houston: Quick Facts

Chinese Community Center Hours by Department

There is no single schedule that applies to every CCC service. Use the department below that matches your reason for visiting.

Holiday closures may affect childcare and senior services. Do not assume that the office’s weekday schedule determines when a weekend class or festival takes place.

Which Chinese Community Center Program Is Right for You?

Start with your goal. Some programs are open cultural activities, while childcare, senior day services and specialized assistance require eligibility screening, applications or registration.

Chinese School: Mandarin, Cantonese, Piano & Cultural Classes

CCC’s Chinese School offers language instruction for youth and adults, plus selected cultural and enrichment programs. Classes are organized by semester, so a previously published fee is not automatically the price for a future term.

Fall 2026 Chinese School: Published Class Examples

These are published 2026 fall course-table rates, not individual drop-in prices. The same official page also provides a separate registration summary with different base tuition figures for some programs. Confirm the total for your exact class ID, including fees, before payment.

Fall 2026 Semester Details

• Registration opening: May 1, 2026.
• Listed breaks: September 5 and November 28.
• Registration fee: $25 per class in the semester summary.
• Additional possible charges: Youth event, textbook or material fees according to the selected course.

Child Development Center: Ages, Tuition & Tours

The Chinese Community Center Child Development Center provides childcare and early education for children approximately 18 months through 5 years old. Its play-based program includes language exposure, outdoor play and early learning.

Published Childcare Tuition and Fees

The official tuition page lists these figures but does not clearly label the billing period beside the figures in its extracted table. Confirm whether tuition is charged monthly and whether assistance or prorated enrollment changes your cost.

Teacher-to-Child Ratios

Breakfast, lunch and afternoon snacks are included at no additional meal charge under the center’s published meal program. CCC accepts NCI childcare assistance and offers additional tuition assistance options subject to eligibility.

Published quality credentials include NAEYC accreditation and Texas Rising Star Level 4 recognition.

How to Enroll Your Child

1. Check that your child falls within the center’s age range.
2. Review the tuition, required fees and available assistance.
3. Complete the official childcare intake form to request availability.
4. Arrange a family tour during the published weekday tour window.
5. Ask about classroom space, start date, health forms, immunization requirements, meals and pickup procedures.
6. Complete enrollment paperwork only after the center confirms a place.

After-School Programs & Youth Camps

For school-age children, CCC has a separate Youth Program offering academic and enrichment activities.

After-School Program: Ages 5–13

• Homework assistance and group tutoring.
• Academic enhancement and skill development.
• Enrichment, sports and recreation.
• Community involvement opportunities.
• Snacks through the Child and Adult Care Food Program.
• Transportation from selected schools for an additional fee.

The program operates during the school year. Families should confirm which schools are served, the pickup schedule, current tuition and available space before enrolling.

Summer and School-Break Camps

CCC also offers seasonal youth programs. Its 2026 Chinese-language summer camp ran June 1–August 7, with a listed Chinese-language add-on option of $265 per week. That summer session has ended; it is a past pricing reference, not a current registration offer.

Enrollment Steps

1. Select after-school care, holiday camp or summer programming.
2. Confirm the child’s age and school-grade eligibility.
3. Ask for session dates, daily hours and total tuition.
4. For after-school care, verify whether school transportation is offered.
5. Complete the Youth Program’s current enrollment process.
6. Confirm parent pickup, emergency contact and refund policies.

Senior Programs: Day Care, Meals, Wellness & Activities

The T.T. and W.F. Chao Senior Center supports older adults through structured day services and a separate membership-based wellness program. These are not interchangeable services.

Day Activity and Health Services (DAHS)

The DAHS program is based at 9800 Town Park Drive, Building C and publishes Monday–Friday, 8 AM–6 PM hours.

Available services include health assessment, medication management, personal care, meals, health education, social services and limited-area transportation. Social activities include crafts, exercise, music, mahjong, karaoke and outings.

CCC states that eligible Medicaid clients can join without a daily program charge. Patients who do not qualify for Medicaid should contact the center for the applicable daily rate.

How to Apply for DAHS

1. Call the senior center and explain the participant’s support needs.
2. Ask whether the participant meets program and Medicaid requirements.
3. Request a tour or introductory visit.
4. Obtain the required physician order using Texas Form 3055.
5. Confirm transportation coverage, meal needs and any personal care arrangements.
6. Complete the admission process and obtain a start date.

DAHS contact: 713-271-6100, extension 300. Office: Building C.

Wellness Membership Prices

The wellness program offers activities such as tai chi, yoga, dancing, calligraphy, social games, pickleball and table tennis. Membership level determines which facilities are included.

Six-month memberships are also offered. Some activities may require medical clearance, a waiver or caregiver accompaniment for older participants. Program availability and class capacity are separate from membership purchase.

Career Support, Financial Coaching & Benefits Assistance

CCC is also a practical resource for Houston residents seeking financial stability and access to community services.

How to Prepare for an Assistance Appointment

1. Identify the task: finding work, financial coaching, benefits enrollment or homebuyer education.
2. Contact CCC and request the relevant intake process.
3. Ask which documents are needed before bringing sensitive paperwork.
4. Request language assistance if needed.
5. Attend your appointment and review eligibility or program requirements.
6. Use the authorized agency portal only when your advisor identifies the correct final submission step.

For sensitive documents such as identification, income records or benefit notices, use the organization’s approved submission method rather than sending them to unverified contacts.

Chinese Community Center Events & Cultural Activities

Events include Chinese cultural celebrations, heritage experiences, games, community workshops and fundraising programs. Some are held at CCC’s Town Park campus; others have off-site venues.

Upcoming and Ongoing 2026 Activities

These events were published on official CCC pages. Registration limits, cancellations and exact session arrangements may change. The gala is not held at the Town Park campus.

Lunar New Year Festival

The Lunar New Year Festival is a longstanding Houston Asiatown celebration. The 2026 edition has already taken place. Its official recap describes lion and dragon dances, kung fu demonstrations, traditional music, cultural crafts and a marketplace with food and vendors.

Do not rely on the 2026 festival’s parking lots, shuttle schedule or vendor instructions for a future festival. Those details are event-specific.

Asian Heritage Tours

CCC’s heritage tours explore Houston Asiatown’s Bellaire corridor and the Mahatma Gandhi District through guided cultural, food and neighborhood experiences.

Published tour tickets include guide, coordination and specified activity fees, but lunch is purchased separately. The organizer notes a minimum booking requirement of 12 participants for the tour to proceed.

How to Attend an Event

1. Select the event and read its exact date, location and entry requirements.
2. Check whether registration is free, ticketed or invitation-based.
3. Confirm the recommended age range and parent/guardian requirements.
4. Review cancellation, transfer and refund rules before purchasing.
5. Check parking, public transit and any off-site venue instructions.
6. Bring your registration confirmation and arrive before the scheduled start.

The map shows CCC’s main campus at 9800 Town Park Drive, southwest Houston, Texas 77036.

Language & Accessibility Assistance

CCC reports staff language capacity in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese and Spanish. If you need language interpretation or disability-related accommodations for an event, contact the center in advance. CCC requests at least two business days’ notice for reasonable accommodations.

Before Visiting: What to Confirm

1. Check your exact program: Childcare, Chinese classes, senior day care and wellness have separate timetables.
2. Check eligibility: Age, household, Medicaid, course level or other program-specific conditions may apply.
3. Check the full price: Tuition, registration, deposits, books and membership fees may be separate.
4. Check availability: A published course or childcare program is not necessarily accepting new participants.
5. Check the venue: The gala and some heritage activities take place outside the main CCC campus.
6. Confirm building instructions: The senior day-service program is located in Building C.
