🌸 Our “Three Suns” Philosophy

At Tokyo Juniors, we nurture children under what we call the “Three Suns” framework:

1. The Morning Sun (Academic Foundations)

   • Montessori-inspired Japanese/English letter tracing using washi paper
   • Math concepts through soroban (abacus) bead play
   • Science discoveries in our rooftop herb garden

2. The Noon Sun (Cultural Roots)

   • Kodomo no Hi carp streamer crafting
   • Bilingual kamishibai (paper theater) storytelling
   • Tea ceremony manners with child-sized yunomi cups

3. The Evening Sun (Global Perspective)

   • “World Explorer” corner with international costumes
   • Collaborative art projects inspired by global festivals
   • “Peaceful Problem Solvers” conflict resolution training

🍡 Unique Features You Won’t Find Elsewhere

The Bento Box Pedagogy
We structure daily activities like a perfect obento:

• 40% “Rice” (core skills)
• 30% “Main Dish” (creative expression)
• 20% “Side Dishes” (social-emotional growth)
• 10% “Surprise Treat” (magic moments)

Rain or Shine Tokyo Adventures

• Ame no Hi (Rainy Day) sensory walks in local shrines
• Neighborhood “color hunts” blending language learning (“Find something aoi!”)
• Seasonal fruit tasting (ichigo in spring, nashi in autumn)
