Nomura Preschool was founded over 40 years ago to provide nurturing care in a structured, stimulating environment.
Our balanced program features age-appropriate academics, enriching art and music, fun physical activities, and lots of opportunities for creative expression and free play.
We also emphasize good manners and character building, with the belief that developing traits such as kindness and respect are just as important as learning the A B C's!.
