Japanese Independent Congregational Church was organized in 1904.
History
Sycamore Christian Preschool was originated by Sycamore Congregational Church's Japanese Language division, the Nichigobu. It began as a playgroup in May 1995 with two children. The staff was made up of Asayo Kawase, a preschool teacher who was called from Japan and Marume Nakano, the wife of the Nichigobu minister at that time.
The playgroup was well received and an application was made for an official preschool license from the State of California. The license was granted in April 1996 and the school officially began operating as Sycamore Christian Preschool.
The preschool celebrated their 10th Anniversary in May 2005 with a worship service, potluck lunch, games and crafts for the children and a special "Bubble" show . It was a wonderful celebration with many former students and their families from the past 10 years in attendence. It is by God's grace that the school was able to celebrate their 10th year. May God continue to bless Sycamore Christian Preschool.
