Okāsan and Me Inc.

Okāsan and Me is a non-profit 501(c)3 education corporation under California State Law, offering bilingual education in English and Japanese. Our students range from 2-62, including children and their parents. Okaasan means 'mother' in Japanese; however, 50% of our parent participants are fathers.

Our unique curriculum includes Japanese American history, the Peruvian Japanese incarceration, and a variety of history projects. We also introduce traditional Japanese foods and instruments, such as the Shamisen, to our students. Under our pedagogy, your child's favorite toy or stuffed animal magically becomes bilingual! You can order original educational materials (CD/Book/DVD) that provide simple and easy guidelines to make learning FUN from the link below now!
