Adding to this, Kozue Satake, mother of Yuto Satake (Nursery) says, “GIIS Tokyo Campus nursery class has comfortable kids’ size chairs and tables. The room is brightly lit with natural light falling through the windows and I am happy for that. The size of the room is also quite appropriate for the number of students in the class. Moreover, I also like the division of the classroom into a separate study, eating, and playing area.”

GIIS Tokyo Campus conducts monthly theme-based activities for Art, English, Maths, etc. In the English Classes, the little ones learn the alphabets by visual recognition of both upper case and lower case letters. These classes also promote interest in reading and writing, but also include listening and speaking.

“My students, fellow teachers and assistants are all my strength in the campus,” asserts Junko Okuhara, Nursery Head Teacher from GIIS Tokyo Campus. The teachers set an environment for learning with a balance between play, acquiring knowledge and enhancing the skills of the little ones. For Maths Classes, counting, sorting and sequencing is taught to the tiny tots to prepare them for the kindergarten level. Students use blocks, puzzles and books to explore. They learn with music, art, poems as well as indulge in physical play in the outdoor play area. They sing, share and learn with stories and show and tell. Regular field-trips are also conducted like potato picking, strawberry picking, etc. to enhance their pool of knowledge.
