PROGRAMS
​
INFANT/TODDLER (0-3 y)
We believe in the importance of communication between the baby and his/her primary caregiver in the aspect of language development. This Parent&Tod class is not only for children to be exposed to Japanese but also for the caregivers to learn how to play in Japanese with their children.
​
​
Japanese Immersion Play (at Gorge Pavilion)
This Parent&Tod Prep class will be operated mainly in JAPANESE but the teachers will support the caregiver in English when needed. Japanese knowledge is preferable but not required. This class provide you and your child the time immersed in Japanese environment, familiarizing Japanese environment, songs, finger plays, stories, and more!
