Imagine International Preschool opened in Yokohama's Landmark Tower in 2003. Founded by the CEO of Imagine Global Care, Hiroki Kinoshita, who felt that Japanese preschools were not able to provide children with the necessary tools needed to become happy, creative individuals. He thus set out to build a new type of school where children could freely explore their interests and broaden their mind. The concept proved so successful that in 2007 we opened a new school in the heart of Tokyo: Aoyama.

What can my child learn in Imagine's Preschool?

By using the Project Approach the children are learning many useful skills like mathematics, reading, writing, scientific method, and presentation by studying something in which they already have interest. Learning is a natural process that is very enjoyable for both teachers and students. They are also gaining a lot of real world experience and exposure to give them the confidence to pursue all of their curiosities and interests.

In practice this means that our classes are very student-centered and as such, we let the children’s interests guide us as we help the children focus on a variety of topics they have shown interest in. Learning should be a fun, stimulating, positive experience: an exploration of each child's individual creativity!
