i Kids Star's Enrollment Information Sessions for 2026

The innovative bilingual preschool, i Kids Star, operated by the Yaru Ki Switch Group, is excited to announce the hosting of informational sessions across Japan for parents interested in enrolling their children for the 2026 academic year. This initiative particularly benefits working families looking for quality childcare until 8 PM and a robust educational program.

Comprehensive Curriculum Tailored for Young Learners

i Kids Star, designed for children aged 2-5 years, offers an enriching curriculum and long-hours of childcare, conveniently located near train stations. The preschool emphasizes five key educational pillars: English conversation, intelligence development, physical education, life skills, and programming education. By fostering “self-reliance,” “collaborative power,” and “imagination,” i Kids Star aims to nurture well-rounded individuals who can confidently tackle the future's challenges.

Once a month, the children participate in presentations and English speech contests, encouraging them to express their thoughts and feelings articulately. This interactive cycle promotes both “thinking power” and “expressive ability” through consistent input and output activities.

Physical education is also a highlight at i Kids Star. The preschool incorporates 300 fun programs that teach nine fundamental movements needed for early childhood development, such as running, jumping, and throwing. This approach not only builds physical strength but also enhances self-esteem and concentration among young learners.

A unique immersive approach allows children to spend the majority of their day communicating in English, fostering language acquisition as a living skill rather than a subject. This approach enhances practical language skills that are essential for today’s global environment.

Additionally, the preschool is incredibly accommodating to working parents, with extended care available from 7:30 AM to 8:00 PM on weekdays, ensuring families have comprehensive support for their childcare needs.
