*I am editing this review as of 6-27-12 as I have now seen md a. original review.*…read more When I read this review from my iPhone, it does not show the original review that md a. wrote. I also do hear that the director there may be there past her prime, this review is based on my perspective as a father. Although I speak 100% English to my daughter, my wife speaks 100% Japanese to my daughter. I think this is a great school that provides a lot of opportunities for those that want their kids to learn Japanese or at least enforce what they can retain. There are class moms that assist with the parents in helping with various activities that this preschool has. They do have a Halloween event, Christmas event, some other event that involves hitting a watermelon blindfolded (Suikawari), and an athletic event which the whole family can get involved called Undokai in the spring. There are bake sales and Teriyaki chicken sales, throughout the year. For those that miss very few classes, there are attendance awards in June for those that miss the least days of preschool. Also in the middle of June prior to the completion of the spring session, there is a day where kids can play on 2 jumpers should they wish to expel their energy. As for the staff, of course all of them speak fluent Japanese. English most likely is not their first language but they do have an understanding of it. For those students and parents that do not understand Japanese, there are those that can help you understand what is going on. The teachers are mostly older than probably other Japanese preschools in the area but they do a great job facilitating a pleasant learning environment. Of course with any school, parents can meet each other prior to dropping off or picking up their kid(s) so it can serve as a place for parents to find out which friends your kids enjoy playing with. There is a day that is set where parents collectively can visit your child's class to see what goes on during their daily activity. For those that attend the summer sessions, there are 2 days each week designated for pool day so the kids can cool off in the plastic wading pools that are set up. Play toys are available in each classroom and are based on the age of the child. As far as outdoor play equipment, there are also 2 large sandboxes, tricycles to ride, a secure place for kids to run on concrete, a play gym, and 2 Little Tyke style houses for the kids to play in. This school has allowed our daughter to grow up in an environment she is comfortable in. It helped that we attended the Gardena Buddhist Church so our daughter was accustomed to the environment and not shocked into a preschool. After 2 years of this school, she will now go to an English school so she can start the transition to Kindergarten. It is always good to register early in any preschool so you have a good chance of enrolling there. We would send our other daughter to go there but since we moved, we will enroll our 2nd one to another local Japanese preschool.

Nakayoshi Pre-School is an absolutely phenomenal school…read more My daughter had been attending for the last two years, and I am constantly in awe of the beautiful environment she is learning within. Her teachers are prepared for the learning that will take place for the day, show positivity and love in their interactions with students, and provide opportunities for each family to be actively engaged in their child's learning and development. As a member of a multinational & multiethnic family, I appreciate the time teachers and staff take to ensure the intent and meaning behind school activities is explained for both English speakers & Native Japanese speakers as well. The entire staff and faculty are available and open to any questions you may have, and embody an extraordinary level of care and professionalism. Thank you for providing such a beautifully positive and caring environment for my daughter to grow within.

You can take the morning or evening class, whichever fits your schedule. Mrs Wang is extremely helpful and walks your through everything. If you have questions she has no problem helping you until you figure it out. The most patient teacher out there! I would definitely recommend this course to anyone and everyone. Come prepared to buy books. (Worth it) You'll need to buy scrubs as well. Bring a notebook, binder, flash cards, pencils, and calculator. Worth every penny and a lot more affordable than any other school!

The fact that our kids never want to leave at the end of the day says everything about the positive, supportive environment they have created. As a parent, there is no greater comfort than knowing your children are happy, loved, and excited to be at school each day.

Warning!!! Be very careful dealing with these people and with Study1Visa…read more I paid $4,280 for study1visa and this school after being told the program could be done online. I later learned that F-1 students are generally required to attend classes in person (minimum hours on campus) to maintain legal status. I clearly explained that I am located in a different state, yet I was still enrolled in a school far away while being repeatedly told the classes would be online. There was no transparency about who was providing the service, no clear credentials, and no proper explanation of the process. After realizing the inconsistencies and requesting clarification and a refund, I was not helped. Because of this experience, I will be filing complaints with the Better Business Bureau and reporting both this company and Study1Visa so others are aware. Please do your research carefully before sending money to anyone offering immigration or visa services. I demand my money is returned immediately!
