Kuchulu Club

Farsi, from the very beginning.

A language to speak. A culture to know. A heritage to carry forward.

A thoughtfully designed, play-based Farsi language and cultural experience for little learners in Berkeley.

Our Philosophy

More than language lessons.

At Kuchulu Club, language grows through connection, curiosity, and play.

Children discover Farsi through the things they naturally love: stories, imagination, art, music, movement, and everyday experiences.

Every session has purpose and structure, while leaving space for each child's imagination to lead.

The structure is mine. The curiosity is theirs. And that's where the learning happens.

Meet the Educator

Meet Teacher Negin

Kuchulu Club was created by Negin, an experienced early-childhood educator with more than a decade of teaching experience and a passion for creating meaningful learning environments for young children.

Her approach combines thoughtful educational planning with the freedom of play, allowing children's curiosity to shape each experience.

Kuchulu Club reflects her belief that language, culture, and belonging are best nurtured through authentic relationships and joyful childhood experiences.

Why Kuchulu Club?

A little piece of home.

Kuchulu Club is about more than learning new words.

It's about recognizing a familiar song, understanding a grandparent's story, celebrating a tradition, and feeling connected to the language and culture of family.

We want Farsi to become something children enjoy, recognize, and carry with them as they grow.
