The Kokoro no Sato After School Program is a culturally relevant after school program designed to offer learning opportunities for children from kindergarten to the 5th grade with activities that relate to the Japanese American culture, history, language, and heritage. The ESGVJCC is all about preserving and fostering the heritage unique to the Japanese American ancestry and our after school program will carry on that tradition by passing it onto the children of our community.
The Kokoro no Sato After School Program creates a safe, healthy, and stimulating place for school-age children and their development while providing help with homework, sports, lifetime movement, computer activities, Japanese language lessons, cultural activities, snacks, and much more. Though the program is culturally relevant to the Japanese American culture, we welcome children of all backgrounds. The Kokoro no Sato After School Program is a fun and quality multifaceted development environment for children and we are excited for what is in store in the upcoming months!
The After School Program will be returning for the 2023-2024 school year! To sign up, receive updates and for more information, please contact Melissa Kozono, Programs Director, Youth Services at mkozono@esgvjcc.org or call 626-960-2566.
