Sora International Preschool of Daly City is a CCLD-licensed childcare center at 58 Hill St in Daly City, California, operating a Japanese-English bilingual immersion program for ages 2.5–5. With simultaneous English- and Japanese-speaking teachers in the same classroom, the center offers natural dual-language acquisition alongside early literacy and numeracy instruction in both languages, supported by a full-day schedule (8:30am–5:30pm) and flexible options for working families. As one of the few Japanese-English preschools in San Mateo County and part of the larger Sora International network, it provides an intimate setting (capacity 36) suited to deep bilingual language development from early childhood. The center has no public parent reviews available for independent verification, and prospective families should confirm the current inspection status through CCLD's facility search before enrollment.
