Certified, and eligible for subsidies
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.

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