Full Ranking Detail
childcarepreschooljapanese-immersionmontessori
Sora International Preschool of Campbell is a California-licensed Japanese immersion preschool on Waldo Rd in Campbell, serving children ages 2.5-5 with a bilingual play-based and Montessori-inspired curriculum. The center's intimate capacity of 26 children creates an ideal setting for dual-language acquisition, with daily Japanese and English circle time, music, art, and outdoor play supporting early literacy and numeracy in both languages. Licensed since March 2021 with no citations on its most recent inspection, the program offers flexible scheduling options (5-day or 3-day weeks) with nap time included. A notable gap is the absence of public parent reviews, limiting independent verification of family experience, and enrollment spots are extremely limited given the small size.
