For families visiting or returning to Japan — and for families living in Japan who need short-term or temporary childcare. We care for children aged 0–6 for 2 weeks to 1 month. Our bilingual environment makes even an unfamiliar place easy and reassuring.
A first visit to Japan. Even for a short stay in an unfamiliar place, we want to be somewhere your child can feel safe and smile.
At Silicon Valley Academy, children from all over the world are welcomed not as "short-term guests" but as friends, from day one — turning a few weeks into a time of real learning and connection.
Living in Japan? You're welcome too. For a sudden business trip, a stay with family, before or after a birth, a gap between programs, or any family circumstance, we flexibly meet the need to "leave my child somewhere safe, just for 2 weeks to a month" — and it's a rare chance for your child to touch English and many cultures in a short time.
Overseas families who have used short-term childcare all over the world have told us we're the highest-quality they've experienced. Over the years we've welcomed families from the USA, Cambodia, South Korea, China, Australia, Dubai (UAE) and Taiwan.
Staff and children communicate naturally in English, so even first-time users feel little of a language barrier.
Classes are grouped by ability, not age — so even a few weeks are never a wasted learning opportunity.
The other children welcome newcomers warmly from the very first day, easing anxiety about a new environment.
Daily photo reports plus direct messages from the headmaster let you check on your child with peace of mind, even while apart.
Our teachers come from Algeria, the Philippines, Canada, Sweden, Indonesia and the USA. With such a multinational environment, children settle in without resistance to a new culture, even in a short stay.
Cameras in every room mean you can check on your child anytime — even in an unfamiliar country.
Lunch, snacks, diapers, facility & system fees are all included. No admission registration fee.

We are from Australia and my daughter who is five spent two weeks in this child care center. We travel a lot and have used child care services all over the world but I have to say this is by far the best short-term center I ever used. The headmaster Ayako-san is extremely supportive and sends me a lot of photos so that I know what she was doing and whether she was happy.
Parent from Australia · 2-week stay
When my baby first started daycare, I was worried… but the teachers have been incredibly kind and patient, and they've helped him grow so much in just a short time. The detailed daily reports with photos and comments are wonderful, and being able to contact the staff anytime gives me great peace of mind as a first-time mom.

We now live overseas. Thanks to SVA — where teachers come from many countries — our daughter is completely at ease with people of all backgrounds, and speaks and listens in English with no hesitation at all.
