After School

We offer child care services to elementary school students after school. We do most of our activities in English. But even if you don't have confidence about your English ability, you don't have to worry. Our Japanese speaking staff will offer support if needed, depending on the childrens' English ability and constructiveness.


Bringing children from the schools → Homework → Daily Program → Dinner → Good-Bye

Daily activities include English lessons, calligraphy, yoga, and much more. We especially put a lot of energy and time into English education.

On weekdays, our staff goes to the students' elementary schools to pick them up. Basically, we arrange the pick up schedule school by school, so please understand that your child's pick up time is not always the time you requested. Depending on the distance and situation, we will flexibly change the time and/or the means of picking children up. Please be advised that we might be up to 30 minutes late. You can see more details in the transportation section below.

Daily programs and Events

Gakudo is a great to play with friends and learn English together. We have a lot of seasonal events. We enjoy celebrating Halloween, pounding mochi, and writing monthly birthday cards for other students. We have a designated reading time, where children can improve their concentration skills. We also listen to classical music during dinner. It's important for the children to understand the switch between quiet time and active time.

Children help prepare dinner and clean-up after dinner by themselves in order to promote independence.
