PROGRAMS
INFANTS/TODDLERS
We believe in the importance of communication between the baby and his/her primary caregiver in the aspect of language development. This program is not only for children but also for the caregivers to learn together.
Japanese Play Class: This class will be operated IN BOTH JAPANESE & ENGLISH, and anyone who is interested in Japanese language & culture with their children from an early age is welcome! For those who are new to Japanese language, you will be introduced to the Japanese language through songs, finger plays and stories along with the Japanese seasonal events. For those who are already familiar with Japanese language, you can practice Japanese with your little one.

This class provide you and your child the time immersed in Japanese environment and the best preparation for the Japanese immersion preschool program, familiarizing Japanese environment, songs, finger plays, stories, and more!
