What to check when choosing a preschool
- Share of English: how much of the day is in English — a few times a week, or every day?
- Mother-tongue education: does it grow Japanese vocabulary, literacy, and thinking too, not just English?
- Teachers: a multinational team including native English speakers?
- Hours & shuttle: usable for working families; is there a shuttle for areas like Sangenjaya?
- Small groups & curriculum: attention for each child; inquiry (6Cs) and non-cognitive skills?
- Visibility: contact books or live cameras to share the day.
Peace of mind in a lively town
In a busy town like Sangenjaya, many families especially value being able to see the day and small groups where each child is watched. When choosing, look beyond access to the educational approach, the English–Japanese balance, and your child’s face on a visit. The surest way is to see the real care on a trial or tour.
