3 Steps to Nurture the "0→1 Brain"

STEP01

Step 1

Discovering Interests

At Kodomo edu, we value every child's "voice." Children's curiosity directly shapes the projects. Self-esteem grows in an environment where they feel their ideas are truly valued.

STEP02

Step 2

Inquiry as a Team

To deepen their interests, teachers ask questions that stimulate problem-solving, creativity, and critical thinking. By exploring in teams, children also acquire essential social skills for the future.

STEP03

Step 3

Reflection and Rethinking

By reflecting on what they have created together, new ideas for improvement emerge. This spiral process deepens the children's thinking power.

Class01

"Art Class" to Deepen Thinking

Art Class Step

Project-Based Learning to Shape Your "I want to!"
Teachers and children discuss "What do you want to do?" or "What do you want to make?" and build projects over several weeks. At Kodomo edu, there are no lessons where you simply follow a teacher's instructions.

Class02

"English Class" for Self-Expression

English Class Step

We prioritize "I love Pokemon!" over "This is a pen." We foster English skills that allow children to express themselves when they go abroad.
(1) Learn phonics and foundations systematically with textbooks.
(2) Acquire natural phrases from books and TV programs.
(3) Create original stories.
(4) Express original stories through books and plays.
*Preschool classes include (1)–(4) tailored to age-appropriate levels.

ParentY

resident in Setagaya

We chose Kodomo Edu because of the uniqueness of the education and the atmosphere of the community. I feel, day by day, my child's curiosity is expanding and he is becoming a deeper and more critical thinker.

ParentN

resident in Setagaya

I decided to send my child to Kodomo Edu because I sympathize with the philosophy of the Reggio Approach. I am happy to see that my child's interest in things has increased more than I had expected.

ParentT

resident in Setagaya

I am happy to see that my child is actually more engaged with the world around them than I had expected.

ParentC

resident in Meguro

The activities, the variety of projects, the small community, and the Reggio Approach are the most attractive points of Kodomo Edu. The most decisive factor for me was that my child had a lot of fun the first time he went.

ParentN

resident in Meguro

I decided to send my child to Kodomo Edu because I liked the authentic Reggio Approach and the home-like environment. Our child is enjoying themselves every day with their teachers and friends. I like the fact that the class size is small, so the care my child receives is attentive, and suitable to their needs.

ParentS

resident in Meguro

The change in my child says it all. I am incredibly thankful that my child joined Kodomo Edu.

ParentK

resident in Meguro

I was interested in Kodomo Edu because of the natural space and free education. I think Kodomo Edu is attractive because of the mixed-age classes, the method of teaching each child, and the small class size which makes it easy for students to speak up. My child loves out-of-school style learning, so please keep it up!

ParentF

resident in Setagaya

At Kodomo Edu, I feel that the children are accepted as individuals. I am grateful that they are nurturing a sense of self-control in a free environment.

ParentE

resident in Meguro

The environment is wonderful in that they recognize and support each child individually. I hope that my child will develop their personality through this process of education and growth.

ParentD

resident in Meguro

As a parent, I am happy that my child enjoys going to Kodomo Edu every day and has made good friends. My child is learning to be considerate of friends and others, and is learning how to build positive relationships.

ParentA

resident in Meguro

I decided on Kodomo Edu because I felt the spirit of the Reggio Approach suited my child, as they had genuinely enjoyed Kodomo Edu`s summer school program. The quality of the teachers and their passion for education is what sets Kodomo Edu apart from other schools, as they value the independence of the children. The teachers are willing to share what is going on with the children, as well as their willingness and interest to help the children from many different perspectives.
