NLF Preschool Programs provide childcare services for children aged 2
1/2 to 5 years old. We provide a flexible schedule
designed to accommodate the needs of families (full-day, half-day or three
days per week).
Japanese
bilingual/multicultural activities are incorporated throughout the daily
schedule, and are presented through music, stories, arts and crafts and
celebration
of traditional events and holidays.
We have
two preschool childcare programs, the Bush Preschool program and Sutter
Preschool program. When
children graduate from our preschool programs, they are well prepared
to meet the challenges of primary school education.
Subsidized childcare is available to accommodate families of low
to moderate income as well as private fee services
