Yes. Every year, children who are new to Japanese join our classes. Our teachers can also communicate in English, so children can always let us know when they need help.

Classes average 8 to 17 children. We keep the number of children per teacher low so that every child gets attentive care.

We look for children who are interested in using the toilet and are not afraid to go. Every child progresses at their own pace, and our teachers will support them along the way.

We offer an optional Lunch Program ($250 per month). Chika's Kitchen delivers a warm boxed lunch to school every day. Children can also bring lunch from home.

The school year runs from the second week of August through May. June is a summer session with regular care (4 weeks), and July is summer break. We are closed for fall break, winter break, and federal and state holidays, following a calendar close to the SFUSD school calendar.

For the 2026-2027 school year, Regular Care is $2,005 per month, Extended Care is $2,555 per month, and the optional Lunch Program is $250 per month. The application fee is $150.
