Daily 15-minute lessons
Lessons will be held daily for 15 minutes per class by age group (3, 4, and 5 years old). The maximum number of lessons per year is 210. This is approximately seven times the number of lessons compared to a typical teacher dispatch program. (In the case of the 5-day-a-week plan)
A variety of developmentally appropriate programs
Drawing on our many years of experience in early childhood education, we offer a unique English program tailored to the developmental needs of children.
The theme is expanded from the original "English Picture Book" to include "body" play using songs and dance videos, and "word" play using slides and cards. Children will enjoy learning English by actively participating in the lessons with a variety of play elements.
