Tampopo Bilingual Children Center Santa Ana

We enrolled our daughter at Tampopo Bilingual School to immerse her in the Japanese language and culture, and it has been one of the best decisions we've made. The school’s Montessori-based approach provides a perfect balance of academic learning, discipline, and manners. Our daughter absolutely loves going to school every day. The teachers are caring, attentive, and genuinely committed to each child’s growth. As a parent, I have complete peace of mind knowing she is in a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment. If you're looking for a bilingual school that goes beyond academics to foster well-rounded development, I highly recommend Tampopo Bilingual School.

My daughter has been attending this preschool for the past month and she has absolutely enjoyed it since day 1. I was surprised to see that she didn't cry much at all on the first week when she usually does. For now, there are three wonderful, loving, caring teachers that run the school. They have plans on increasing. The school mainly runs Japanese but teachers can speak both. There are also students that may not speak Japanese as their 1st language at home so it's a good mix. Facility is clean, communication is open & clear, teachers are devoted to helping families raise their kids. Highly recommend!

After a few months of attending this preschool, my daughter started to talk more and help out more at home. The teachers are very encouraging, loving, and easy to communicate. They send us a daily note of what and how our daughter did at the school, which we appreciate very much.

My son absolutely loves this school and skips off to attend every morning. They are curriculum rich, filled with many cultural/seasonal events and creative programs. Teachers are highly motivated, empathetic and skilled. It went above and beyond my expectations, and I would highly recommend!

My son has developmental disabilities and I was worried about whether he would fit in. However, they accepted and understood his individuality. In addition, they consider, put into practice, and sincerely respond to children's needs so that they can learn social skills without burdening them during their kindergarten days. 😊 She not only cares about my child, but also cares about my concerns and gives me sound advice. Teachers are also active in Off-Jt. The educational program is excellent and my son has shown amazing growth, which makes me very happy as a parent. I am grateful to have found such a wonderful kindergarten. 🥹
