What our Parents are saying
We’ve been attending since my child was 10 months old.
To be honest, I initially started because I wanted an opportunity to learn English myself. My child was very shy and still so young—barely more than a baby—and there have been times when I felt like we were causing trouble, whether it was because he couldn’t sit still or started crying. But Paula, Tony, Shige, and the other moms have all been so warm and understanding, which has been a huge help. I’m especially grateful that they understand that children are just like that sometimes.
My child is very shy and tends to cling to me during class, but at home, he sings, dances, and uses so many of the words he's learned. We both look forward to the weekly crafts and the new songs that change every month. I also really appreciate being able to get parenting advice from the teachers—it’s been incredibly valuable for me.
H-Kun, Play in English
My child is enrolled in the preschool program.
After visiting for a trial, I was immediately drawn to the welcoming atmosphere and decided to enroll right away.
The environment, where learning happens through fun and play, seems to suit my son perfectly.
At home, he sings the songs he learned, talks excitedly about who he played with, and shares what he made during the day.
Additionally, the nearly four hours of group life with his classmates have been a great source of stimulation and have provided a wonderful opportunity for him to develop independence.

ママ、ママで、どこにも誰にも預けることができなかった娘が1日目から4時間過ごすことができました！絶対に無理と諦めず、お願いして本当に良かったです。先生方が優しく楽しく接してくださったおかげです。今では、Paula, Tony, Shigeに会いたくて、スクールの日を楽しみにしております！！
本人が楽しんで通っているという事が私にとっては一番嬉しいことです！
歌や工作、ゲーム、外遊び、ランチタイム全部大好きと言っています！！

My child has been attending since the age of two. This is such a great school where they can enjoyably learn native English. The teachers are wonderful, which is a big help for parents and makes my child look forward to going to class.
Recently, we’ve been practicing homework, and my child can now confidently go through A to Z and count from 1 to 10 with great pronunciation. At home, words like “box” and “bottle” often come up in their conversations. We’ve been watching animated DVDs like Curious George, Thomas the Tank Engine, and Cars in English, and my child seems to understand the content, saying things like, “George hurt his foot today!”
Since we, as parents, don’t speak any English, we definitely want to continue sending our child to this school. They love people, and we believe that being able to speak English will open the door to making friends overseas and lead to a fun and fulfilling life!
Ichinosuke, Headstart & FUNdamentals
My son has been attending the parent-child class since he was 1 year and 8 months old, and the preschool program since he was 2 years and 5 months old.
Although my son is very shy and reserved in new places and around new people, he seems to have really grown to love the teachers. At first, he wouldn’t leave my side, but after everyone else had left, he would start to play happily. This often caused delays in leaving the classroom, and I felt we were inconveniencing the teachers. However, they were always so kind and welcoming, which I greatly appreciated.
Now, even if he’s crying in the morning, I’ve been told that he quickly brightens up and smiles as soon as he enters the classroom. Hearing this during pick-up time reassures me and makes it easier to say goodbye in the morning. The school has a warm, family-like atmosphere where I feel comfortable discussing even small concerns, which gives me great peace of mind.
My son’s interest in English has also grown. He now asks, “How do you say this in English?” or corrects my pronunciation by saying “NO!” and showing me the proper way. English has become something natural for him, seamlessly integrated into our daily life rather than something special or separate.
This wonderful school, where my son can naturally develop his English and social skills through fun and play, has enriched the time we share before he starts kindergarten. It’s been a truly fulfilling experience for both of us!

It has been a year since we started attending the parent-child class.
As a parent who isn’t confident in English, I felt a bit nervous before the trial, but the two teachers also communicate in Japanese, which reassured us and made it easy for both my child and me to attend. The lessons are always fun, with lots of opportunities for communication through play.
The crafts, which are always thoughtfully designed, change each month based on the theme or season, and it’s so enjoyable to create them together.
The two teachers pay close attention to each child individually, helping to steadily improve their English level.
