Terakoya / More about our Terakoya program: classes for infants


Our fall/winter semester began!
Our program caters to preschool children aged 2 or above
We started our program in response to many parents' request for a place where their children can learn Japanese while they go to local English-speaking daycare.

Mebae (sprouts) is the Saturday program for youngest children at Starchild

In our program, children have lots of fun and learn Japanese.

We focus on conversational Japanese through group work and collaboration.

If you are looking for a place for your child to learn Japanese just for a few hours in the weekend, please feel free to contact us.


We'd love to hear from every one of you.
