The children enjoy songs, games and stories as they learn about the Japanese language and culture.<\/p>\n<p>They can be seen participating enthusiastically and it is evident that their young brains are extremely active during Japanese time. Martin Sensei\u00a0 leads a stimulating play based program, capturing the children\u2019s interest in learning the language of Japan.<\/p>\n<p>The 4-year-old kindergarten groups have access to two hours of Japanese learning and fun each week. One hour is a structured lesson on a particular topic, the other hour is integrated Japanese language into the children&#8217;s daily learning and play. It is most definitely a highlight of the program for our kindergarten children.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;off|tablet&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Footer&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.18.4&#8243; background_size=&#8221;contain&#8221; background_position=&#8221;bottom_center&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||38px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; global_module=&#8221;3461&#8243;][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.2&#8243; background_image=&#8221;http:\/\/zaib.sandbox.etdevs.com\/divi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/02\/bac-01.png&#8221; background_size=&#8221;contain&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;160px|100px|100px|100px|false|true&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;10px|40px|10px|40px|true|true&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px|true|true&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.27.4&#8243; text_font=&#8221;PT Sans||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#62748a&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; header_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Playfair Display|700|||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;54px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.3em&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; max_width=&#8221;600px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;24px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Become a Part of Our Community!<\/h2>\n<p>We are a tight-knit learning community with a dedicated team of teachers, wonderful parents and beautiful children.
