Private family schools have also been established in many villages. For example, until a few years ago Harvest Hall, run by the Tsai clan of Chiunglin Village, was always used as a child care center. During the busy farming seasons, they would bring all the children of the village there to be looked after.
許多村莊內還設有私塾，以瓊林蔡姓「怡榖堂」為例，一直到數年前這座私塾都還被當作村內的托兒所，在農忙時節將村中孩兒集中照料。
