Building up friendship through play」(Daycare)

Ability to learn and make decisions」(Terakoya)


Our approach is centered on "the ability to think in Japanese".
The pillars of 'play' and 'learning' form the foundation of our philosophy.
Our goal is to provide an education that resonates deeply within the heart and becomes a vital part of your child's foundation for the future.

We operate the Japanese Daycare and the weekend school "Terakoya," helping children in New York not only learn Japanese but also experience Japanese culture from an early age.
As they enter local schools, we support them with Japanese, math, and English, continuing this support through to university, thus fostering many talented individuals.

At Starchild, we believe that the experiences and learning will contribute to the development of each child's unique personality, guiding them at major crossroads in life.
Here, children will find a warm and friendly environment with a comprehensive program delivered by licensed and experienced childcare professionals and teachers from Japan.

We provide opportunities to learn the basics of various subjects and to make lifelong friends through daily learning, ensuring they can lead a happy life in an international society.
