Educational Goals

One of our two main educational goals is to help them grow as a whole child with balanced advancement in their social, intellectual, emotional and physical development. The other main goal is to foster global minds and multi cultural experiences in the children in their early years so that they will be engaged in contributing to the international society in the future.
We strive to help the children grow and develop in a loving and nurturing atmosphere with various kinds of educational opportunities. Our staff includes certified and experienced early childcare and language teachers who are very much dedicated to contributing to meet the needs of every child in the school. You will also see our school curriculum well structured and carefully designed, especially on the language development for both Japanese and International children.
We aim to teach our children to:
・to develop a healthy mind and body, learning basic self help skills for the healthy growth
・to cultivate humanity through social interaction in children's play and learning activities
・to experience and understand different values and cultures through various activities
・to become bilingual competent in both English and Japanese
・ to prepare for the basic skills and knowledge for their later school years
