WELCOME TO GROW INTERNATIONAL PRESCHOOL

Play, learn and grow in English

Grow International Preschool is an immersion based English kindergarten and early learning center located in Meito-ward, Nagoya. We focus on international education methodology with lessons that attract children’s core interests while adhering to the motto “Play, Learn, Grow!”. In a 100% English only environment we draw on children’s curiosity, imagination and support their growth! In addition to focusing the basics such as reading, writing and physical education, we have also adopted the STEM methodology (Science Technology Engineering Math) into our kindergarten & advanced lessons to harness the children’s ability to think outside of the box. We always encourage children to think of “How” they can overcome any obstacle that they face. This gives them the confidence to Grow up and tackle any challenges they will encounter in the future!

ABOUT PRESCHOOLS

What is an International Preschool?
An International Preschool is a kindergarten, day care center or nursery where the native language being used is English. In Japan, International Preschools are immersion based, cater to both the expat and local community and all classes are primarily taught in 100% English. Children will learn many things other than just core language skills. At Grow International Preschool, children attend from not only Nagoya but the surrounding areas such as Tenpaku ward, Chikusa ward, Showa ward, Moriyama ward, Nishin City and Nagakute City!
What about Early Education?
From birth to 6 years old, a childs brain is developing extremely rapidly. They are able to absorb the sights and sounds around them and put meaning to what they see/hear and interact with. They are continually watching and learning! They want to know “Why?”! Setting the foundations and harnessing this energy to create a lifelong love of learning is paramount to success in the future.
What kind of child grows at Grow?
At Grow International Preschool, we offer courses tailored to each age range. We have students with us from 6 months old all the way up to Grade 5. Every course has its own curriculum that stimulates the interests of the children. We love seeing the kids absorb something new and come to school each day excited and ready to learn! We have both international expat and local families attending Grow and we work closely with parents to give their children the best global-thinking, learning and growing environment possible. At our Makinohara campus, we have students attending from Naka ward, Chikusa ward, Showa ward and other suburbs of Nagoya.

  • row in 2 words? Clear & Supportive

    Our daughter had a great time at Grow! She was able to learn about some Japanese cultural events and took back some Japanese customs with her when we left. We were sorry to leave! The Japanese parents were always keen to invite us along for play dates!

    Unlike Japanese schools, this school did not have a stiff or rigid feeling. All staff and teachers are friendly and excited to see the kids each day. In addition there are a lot of events each season where the parents can have fun with the kids too!

    Its great fun to watch my son sing songs that he picked up at Grow! Sometimes he surprises me by speaking English phrases at home and I can clearly see him growing every day.

What is the difference between an International School and a Japanese Kindergarten?

Within our international school, our teachers teach in a 100% English only environment. Our children enjoy their time with us and all daily activities are conducted solely in English. Other than the language differences, our International School is divided according to age appropriate classes for the kids to flourish in. Similar to Japanese Kindergartens, we have many seasonal events and Japanese cultural activities (Tanabata star festival, Grandparents day etc), thrilling Sports Day as well as presentations & school plays. There are plenty of events for you and your child to enjoy at Grow. One difference between our International School and a Japanese Kindergarten is that we offer extended childcare outside of regular hours so that working parents can have their children looked after in a safe and caring environment.

We have optional delicious and healthy organic lunches that are offered to students of our daytime Toddler Preschool & Kindergarten program. In addition to meals, we have snacks that are anti-allergenic!
