ABC Preschool was established in 1981 in San Francisco. The school has been serving Japanese American Children for 20 years. Many of the children who have passed through our program have grown to become active and productive adults in societies around the world. The school program endeavors to continue to encourage this strong sense of responsibility and understanding.
