Founder & CEO
​Candy Chan
Born in Hong Kong, I journeyed through the Northern Lights in Canada before finding my place in sunny California for graduate studies at Stanford.

Why I Founded Hoppity Learning
In 5th grade, I was more captivated by TV than textbooks, ranking 26th out of 30 in class. My father saw my potential, encouraged me to focus on my strengths, and helped me build self-confidence and emotional intelligence. This shift led to a remarkable turnaround, propelling me to the top of my class and eventually to Stanford.​

Mon Wong
Mentor Coach
Hi, I’m Mon!
Originally from Hong Kong and living in California since 2017, I bring a master's in counseling and 8 years of play therapy expertise to support children with emotional and behavioral issues. My background as a secondary school teacher and my experience as a mother of two middle schoolers drive my passion for nurturing happy, healthy children.
I believe a warm, loving environment is key to a child’s growth, just like roots are vital for a tree. I enjoy jogging, hiking, cooking, and playing games with my kids in my free time.
My mission is to help parents build closer relationships with their children and equip them with effective parenting skills for a thriving family life.
