Transforming Summer Holidays into Learning Adventures with Kids Duo®

As summer approaches, parents often face the daunting challenge of finding suitable care for their children. Nearly 80% of parents report feeling stressed about arranging summer holiday care, primarily due to concerns over providing enriching experiences for their kids. This is where Kids Duo®, a revolutionary after-school English program, steps in to provide a solution.

A New Approach to Childcare

Starting from July 13, 2026, Kids Duo will launch its summer school program aimed at children aged 3 to 12. Unlike conventional childcare, which often leads to repetitive routines, Kids Duo® seeks to foster curiosity and encourage exploration in a fun, interactive environment. The program’s mission is to transform the primary function of daycare into an exciting opportunity for children to learn and grow.

With a network of over 210 schools across Japan and more than 100,000 graduates, Kids Duo® leverages its extensive experience to offer a well-rounded summer experience. The program introduces children to new cultures and languages, enriching their summer with meaningful experiences while they are still in Japan.

Addressing Parental Concerns

A recent study highlights significant concerns among parents regarding summer care options. A staggering 77.9% of parents with elementary school-aged children express worries about ensuring their kids have enriching experiences during the breaks. Many children themselves report feeling bored, wanting more variety in their summer activities. The Kids Duo® program responds to this demand by providing unique and engaging activities that go beyond mere supervision.

Key Features of Kids Duo® Summer School

The Kids Duo® summer school offers three critical features that enhance the learning experience:

1. Extended Stay Experience: Children can immerse themselves in English for up to 10 hours a day through flexible morning (9:30 AM - 1:30 PM) and afternoon (1:30 PM - 7:30 PM) sessions. For the convenience of busy families, extended care is available until 8:30 PM.

2. Diverse Learning Activities: Classes integrate various activities such as music, arts and crafts, and games, all taught in English. Under the 2026 theme, “Bright Futures”, activities are aligned with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), encouraging children to think critically about sustainability and their roles in the community.

3. Bilingual Education Setup: With both native and bilingual teachers, Kids Duo® provides a robust learning environment that progressively develops authentic English speaking skills. One of the significant benefits is the multi-age gathering where children from ages 3 to 12 interact, enhancing their communication and social skills while keeping the learning environment dynamic and engaging.

Special Programs for Enriched Learning

This summer, Kids Duo® will also introduce special programs that spark creativity and critical thinking:

• - FUTURE BUILDERS: A program where kids learn about sustainable construction by designing and building their dream houses. They get hands-on experience through building bridges and reflecting on eco-friendly practices.

• - KD LAB: Through experiments, children will learn about disaster prevention, particularly focusing on landslide mitigation. They will engage in discussions around safety signs found in their communities, encouraging practical learning and teamwork.

Summer School Details

• - Dates: July 13, 2026, to August 31, 2026. Note that the program will be closed from August 10 to August 17.
