Greetings from the Principal
Together with parents, we are committed to nurturing each child responsibly
in a rich educational environment, helping them develop strong roots for
living as individuals.
Language is part of Japanese culture, and we wish to pass it on to the
children with care. Our teachers interact with the children using polite
language. Since each child learns through imitation, our teachers are also
mindful of their own actions.
Safety Measures
●Installation of surveillance cameras
●Locking the gates during childcare hours
