From Nihonbashi We want to nurture children who will spread their wings to the world
I am Masanori Kojima, Director of WONDER KIDS, a bilingual nursery school in Nihonbashi, Tokyo.
I have a 6-year-old daughter, a 4-year-old son, and a 3-year-old son. While I feel the daily challenges of parenting, I am also moved by my children's growth and am filled with gratitude every day for my wife and family who support me.
I once had a bitter experience working overseas where I struggled with communication because I couldn't speak English well and didn't understand the other person's cultural background. I still recall how much smoother and more enjoyable my work could have been if I had been aware of diverse cultures from a young age, alongside language skills, to thrive globally.
At WONDER KIDS, beyond providing exposure to English, our educational program incorporates various activities designed to make each week enjoyable. This includes food education to spark interest in eating, rhythm and musical activities like eurhythmics and musicals, and the Montessori approach to enhance children's concentration. We also provide ample opportunities to experience Japanese culture.
From WONDER KIDS here in Nihonbashi, children who will support Japan and thrive globally are emerging.
Nothing brings us greater happiness than helping children start their lives with smiles and gratitude.
Have a Nice Life!
