What makes Kitamura House special

Japanese-Style Daily Habits

Children learn everyday habits valued in Japanese homes and kindergartens – greetings, self-care, tidying up and table manners – as part of daily life.

Yokomine Method ›

3 LANGUAGES

Thai, English & Japanese

We combine the Thai Ministry of Education curriculum, a Japanese kindergarten curriculum and English (Jolly Phonics UK/Oxford), so children use three languages every day.

DEVELOPMENT

Individual Development

With the Denver II developmental screening and assessment across 7 development areas, promotion is based on each child’s real growth – not age alone.
