Testimonials
“E has been loving summer camp, thank you so much! The other night she was singing the clean-up song as she was putting herself to sleep at bedtime, and it was the cutest thing :) Her relationship with her grandparents continues to deepen. When we last saw them, she gave her Halbi a huge hug when she is normally slow to hug him. The cross-cultural exposure and subsequent connection are so impactful!”

“We just finished the school year with Nabitokki with our 3 year old, and I couldn't be more impressed with the school, admin, and teachers. My daughter knows the Korean alphabet and their sounds, as well as many songs I remember from my own childhood. When she speaks Korean at home, I discover many new words and phrases that she learned from school. The Admin and teachers are very caring, responsive, and observant. Because of their small class sizes, they get to know your child very well and are able to tailor the curriculum to the students' interests. The community that NabiTokki has created is valuable as a 2nd Gen Korean in Brooklyn. The parents that I have met in my daughter's class are down-to-earth, and even though the year is over, we have made plans to have play dates in the future. Thank you, NabiTokki!”

“Nabitokki is the most heartwarming, beautiful school of my dreams. Our little one’s language skills, not just in Korean but also in English, immediately blossomed here as did his joyful confidence. I think his curious mind let loose once he started learning in a second language. The warm and observant teachers make it feel like a family, and gave us the confidence to bring our little one to school earlier than we thought we would. It’s the kind of experience where the teachers and founders are partners to the parents, I really derived insights from them and felt continuously that their main priority was the inner life of the children. I am so grateful that his first school experience was here. Everyone with a 1 or 2 year old has heard me tout this school and the benefits of language immersion — if your family is Korean this is an absolute gem, and if your family is not it’s still a gem. AMA i adore nabitokki.”

"I moved to New York City from Southern California and always assumed that it would be difficult to find a Korean community in Brooklyn. But through NabiTokki, I have found other Korean parents in the area who are invested in teaching their children about Korean language and culture. My daughter has learned so much in a year. She speaks to me regularly in Korean and sings Korean songs all day long. I am so proud of her and so glad that we can send her to NabiTokki!"

“Thank you so much for all that you have taught our daughter, E, this past semester. We are amazed by how much she has learned in such a short amount of time. Her grandparents speak only Korean and it seemed she could never understand why they spoke the way they do. Since starting NabiTokki, her relationship with them has truly deepened as she understands now that it’s Korean they are speaking!”

“We are so grateful for the community at NabiTokki. The teachers are so caring and provide a warm, nurturing and safe environment for children to play and learn. The saying goes that it takes a village to raise a child, and we feel like we have finally found ours with this wonderful group of women who work hard to provide the highest level of care for their students. With their help and support, my child’s Korean language exposure and fluency has skyrocketed, along with a love for arts and crafts. It will be bittersweet to age out of this program but we are excited for NabiTokki to flourish and expand.”

“NabiTokki has been the perfect preschool for my son. He has attended a few other programs but consistently said that Nabitokki was his favorite school. The teachers are warm and nurturing and the curriculum is fun yet educational. I am so thankful for NabiTokki as they are the only Korean preschool program available in Brooklyn. My only wish is that they had opened earlier so my older kids could have attended too!”

“Our child loves NabiTokki and the teachers—almost every week he comes home with the cutest art projects. The teachers are so attentive to each child and showers them with love. As parents, we appreciate the daily updates and thoughtful monthly newsletters. Thanks to the Korean language program, our child understands Korean well and says some words in Korean and calls his older brother “hyung-a”. We can’t wait for NabiTokki to open full time in the future.”
