Our Teaching Philosophy

At Ohana International Preschool Tokyo, we honor the individuality of every child, recognizing and celebrating their unique differences. We are committed to nurturing each child’s development, well-being, and love for learning by creating an environment where they feel valued, respected, and empowered to take responsibility for their own growth.

We believe that families are the most vital influence in a child’s life and that strong partnerships with parents and guardians are essential for fostering successful learning outcomes. Our role is to support and strengthen the relationships between children and their families, working collaboratively to ensure the best possible development for each child.

As part of a larger community, we embrace our responsibility to contribute positively to our neighborhood, city, and the global environment. We are dedicated to promoting sustainability, environmental stewardship, and making a meaningful difference in the world.

Proud of our commitment to early childhood education, we strive to shape a brighter future for children, their families, and the global community—believing that together, we can create a better world for all.

At Ohana International Preschool Tokyo we:

Respect the fact that all children are individuals.

Aim to nurture each child’s unique individuality and honor their differences.

Ensure that every child in our care is valued, respected, and given the opportunity to take responsibility for their own learning.
