Sakura Daycare has been a great place for our family. Our 2 girls spent their time at the daycare and learned so much. Exposing my kids in a Japanese-speaking environment was the primary reason for us to choose the daycare but the benefits were way more than the language. Sakura Daycare offers a warm and encouraging environment where the kids can play and learn a lot. Yoko sensei and all the other staff are very patience and always encourage kids in the positive ways. Facility is clean and organized. There are a lot of age-appropriate toys with safety gears and a ton of books. My kid is excited to going to the daycare every morning!
日本語のファミリーデイケアです。数年間お世話になり、安心して子どもたちを預けられる保育環境にとても満足しています。日本語の歌やストーリータイム、先生方とのお話の中から日本の慣習や言葉を自然と学びつつ、毎日のびのび楽しく過ごしています。

I adore Sakura Daycare. My older son started attending when he was 1.5 and stayed until he was 3. Yoko-sensei and her wonderful staff (who have been the same 5 amazing people for the entire time we were enrolled) provided a warm and nurturing environment for him. The kids enjoy a balance of indoor free play with Magnatiles and various Montessori materials, and lots of outdoor play with sand, water tables, and nature exploration. The kids also sing and dance to Japanese songs (the videos of the kids and teachers dancing are so adorable!!), and they have daily Japanese storytime. The older kids practice hiragana after naptime too! Yoko-sensei makes sure that the kids have fun while practicing fine motor skills, learning autonomy, and appreciating Japanese traditions and customs. When I took my son to an evaluation at a Montessori school, the teachers commented on his excellent fine motor skills in the practical life section and how he tidied his work station without prompting — all habits that Yoko-sensei and her teachers have developed in him! I am forever grateful to Yoko-sensei for providing such a wonderful foundational environment for my son. He is thriving as a Montessori student now, thanks to Sakura Daycare! I plan to send my younger son soon and can’t wait for my boys to start speaking Japanese together!

Sakura Daycare has been a wonderful place for my family. I've had 2 of my kids attend this daycare since they were infants. All of the staff is very attentive and they provide a safe, warm, and loving environment for children. I love that there are Japanese language and activities to create a multicultural and multilingual experience. I appreciate the recap of how the day went for the child as well as any gentle recommendations for what could help the child. Overall, it's been a great experience attending Sakura Daycare and I highly recommend any family to join.
