INTRODUCTION
Little Steps School was founded to bring the dream of a more international
background to children in Japan. They can have experiences with
teachers and students from varied backgrounds.
Little Steps believes that all children have a motivation for learning
and a curiosity of the world. When we guide their curiosity, their
understanding of the world will be widened and deepened. Our courses
consist of two styles; the Preschool Course and the Learning Course.
The Preschool Course is for children from 1 to 3 years old and is
2 or 3 hours depending on their age. The Learning is planned for
6 to 12 year old children and there are 3 main programs; Art, Language,
and Music. Little Steps looks to increase the child s sensibilities
and encourages the children to develop their interpersonal and communication
skills through various learning experiences.
3 Goals of Little Steps
Cultivating international understanding
Achieving English language ability
To Encourage the child to develop their own personality
All classes are taught by qualified English teachers, with a Japanese
speaking staff available if need be. The student teacher ratio is
never higher than 8 : 1. And in most classes it is around 4 : 1.
The staff comes from a variety of locations and backgrounds to help
students see diversity and to understand it is as valued. Currently
Canada, The United States, and Italy are represented by. Our teachers
have an average of 1 2 years child teaching experience. We have
weekly meetings to review student progress and discuss teaching
methods. All the teachers here love children, teaching, and have
a high degree of professionalism so you can leave your child in
our care with comfort.
We have beautiful, artistic, safe and clean facilities in Ginza
and Omotesando. They are made for teaching children and have the
best furniture, materials, and planning available. They are checked
for safety and cleanliness on an ongoing basis. The Yokohama location
is in the design stage.
We have two terms a year that are Spring and Fall. There is a month
break in August. There are two summer sessions available during
the month of August and usually a few special days such as Park
Day or a Field Trip.
