Why families choose Aloha Kids

We believe children learn English best not by sitting through lessons, but by collecting one enjoyable experience after another.

  • Certified, and eligible for subsidies

    Three children in caps standing in front of the park fountain

    In September 2022 we received from Setagaya-ku the official certificate for meeting the supervision standards for non-registered childcare (認可外保育施設). If your ward certifies your family as needing childcare, you may qualify for a subsidy; the amount and conditions depend on your ward.

  • English from the moment they walk in

    Everything in the classroom happens in English. Experienced teachers speak in a way young children can follow, so the day feels like a small study-abroad.

  • Japanese-speaking staff for families

    You don't need to speak English yourself. Our Japanese staff help with day-to-day care and with communication between school and home.

  • Music, art and sports

    Music class: a teacher at a keyboard with three children

    Children aged 3 and over have weekly music and art classes with specialist teachers, plus sports: gymnastics, soccer, swimming and, in winter, dance.
