About Us


Nomura Preschool is a child-centered, nurturing environment designed to spark curiosity and inspire a lifelong love of learning.  We have provided high quality early education for children ages 2 – 5 years old in Albany, El Cerrito, Richmond, Berkeley and surrounding communities since 1964.

Classes


Designed for young minds, our school environment fosters growth in a range of developmental areas.  Expertly created to nurture and support children, our classes are customized for different age groups and abilities.  Nomura Preschool offers toddler, intermediate, and pre-kindergarten classes.

Extracurriculars


Our extracurricular program offers additional learning opportunities including soccer, gymnastics, dance and music.  Classes are typically 30 minutes in length and held once a week.  Children love trying these new activities with their friends.  Parents appreciate not have to drive to classes on weekends.  Most classes have end-of-the-year performances so students can show off the skills they have learned.
