We strongly believe in the transformative power of play as a dual catalyst for academic and physical development, instilling our kickers with a sense of autonomy and accomplishment. By engaging in carefully designed activities, they also develop resilience, stamina, coordination, and agility. Following instructions becomes second nature, creating a positive and cooperative learning environment. The integration of play with repetition and structure also cultivates essential social skills.

私たちは遊びの力が 自主性と達成感を持たせ、学力と身体の両方の発達にとって最も強力なツールの一つであると強く信じています。入念にデザインされた楽しいアクティビティを通して、子どもたちは協調性や回復力 チームワークなどのスキルを身につけます。また指示をフォローすることによって前向きで協力的な学習環境が育まれます。遊びを反復と構成に取り入れることで、必要不可欠な社会性を養い、効果的な学習のための最適な環境を作り出します。

The Mini Kicks program introduces new English vocabulary and basic conversation skills every week through art, music, movement, ball games, brain games, and hands-on activities. As your child is busy completing challenges and following instructions, they simultaneously develop their speaking and listening language skills, kindling a passion for language acquisition and boosting their confidence in communication.

ミニキックスプログラムでは、音楽、運動、アート、ボールゲーム、頭脳ゲーム、体験型アクティビティなどを通して、毎週新しい英単語や基本的な会話スキルを学びます。子供たちは課題をクリアしたり指示をフォローしながら、同時にスピーキングとリスニングの能力を伸ばし、言語習得への興味意欲を高め、コミュニケーションへの自信を高めていきます。
