Looking for a unique place to enroll your children in a safe, caring international environment? Frugal Japan reader Janine Boyd introduced us to Maebashi International Kindergarten, in Maebashi City, Gunma Prefecture. Located 1.5 hours north of Tokyo, the kindergarten serves both local children, and visitors who can enroll for a day while Mom and Dad visit the local ski slopes.
The kindergarten is staffed and run by Qualified Early Childhood Education specialists from Australia and licensed Japanese yochien teachers, and runs classes from 9am – 2 pm with additional extended hours available for an extra fee. Established in April 2002, the school boasts a dual-language Japanese/English immersion method education, and houses two rooms and two playgrounds: the 3-6 years old room (Kindy) and the 2-3 years old room (Prep), which have separate playgrounds.
Janine adds that “the fees are super frugal!”
