Empowering Young People for the Future

This May, honor our history and Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month by supporting the Japanese Community Youth Council (JCYC)'s Chibi Chan Preschool and Chibi Chan Too!

Your support will help JCYC continue to provide year-round, comprehensive, and affordable childcare.

Our History

Founded on May 27, 1970, the JCYC's mission is to cultivate and enrich the lives of children and youth from diverse, multicultural communities throughout San Francisco and beyond. While still committed to the organization's roots in San Francisco’s Japantown community, JCYC has evolved and grown into an organization that serves over 7,000 young people annually from all socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds. 

Chibi Chan Preschool & Chibi Chan Too

Since 1989, Chibi Chan Preschool has been a cornerstone of early childhood education in San Francisco, providing year-round, affordable childcare in a nurturing and inclusive environment. To further meet the Bay Area’s growing need for quality, affordable childcare, Chibi Chan expanded in October 2017 with the opening of Chibi Chan Too, Presidio Campus at the Booker T. Washington Community Service Center (BTWCSC). At Chibi Chan, we celebrate diversity by creating a multicultural learning environment where all children are valued, and cultural traditions are embraced. Through inclusive activities, exposure to different languages, and community engagement, we inspire children to appreciate and respect the world’s many cultures and perspectives.
