About BIG STEPS for Little Friends
For five decades, Nihonmachi Little Friends has been a vibrant center of learning, growth, and community for generations of children and families. From the beginning, our programs have been deeply rooted in Japanese language and practices and shaped by a strong commitment to multiculturalism. Our legacy is built on the heartfelt dedication of our educators, the joy and wonder in each child's learning journey, and the enduring strength of a community that celebrates cultural heritage, inclusion, and connection. As we celebrate this remarkable milestone, we honor the many individuals who have shaped our journey—from our visionary founders to the devoted, supportive families, and dedicated community partners. Each has played a vital role in building a legacy centered on joyful learning, cultural understanding, and the shared commitment to nurturing every child’s curiosity, confidence, kindness, and joy.
More information about NLF and the PASC can be found on our website: www.nlfchildcare.org.
