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.
