ABOUT US
JLC Victoria was born out of a passion for Japanese bilingual education in Canada.
A mother had an idea of opening the first Japanese immersion preschool for her own child . Since then, this first and only BC licensed Japanese immersion childcare on Vancouver Island has been growing with experienced childcare professionals and the local community.
We value "Learn through Play" method and strongly believe that children learn the best through play; therefor, our priority is to keep our activities always fun and enjoyable for children.
