  Bambini International Montessori School

We are a Montessori based Early Learning Center for children aged 2-6 years of age. We strongly believe that children learn best when a curriculum is used as a guideline to differentiate the delivery according to individual needs of a child. At Bambini, every child’s uniqueness and individual pace is highly valued. This means that no child is left behind and that no child should wait for their peers to catch up. Physical development through outdoor play, gardening and appreciation of nature, balances our students' development as a whole child. We aim to provide as many authentic experiences as we can to enhance their learning opportunities. Our program is enriched with field trips and appropriate specialists programs to cater to this need.

We offer programs for two age groups; Dragons and Knights.

Dragons is a class for students who are 2-3 years by August 31st. In Dragons class we will keep a 1:3  teacher:student ratio. 
With Montessori method the children will be encouraged to inquire into their environment to learn through hands on experiences with carefully chosen activities in a prepared environment by the teachers.

In Knights Class, concepts are taught with the aid of Montessori Method and materials. However, we will use the Lucy Calkins Writing and Phonics programs, which are being used in many of the international schools around the world, to develop their writing skills as they grow older. This will provide a seamless transition as they enter into main international schools in Tokyo.

A field trip is planned for every theme they will be inquiring into. When the learning is connected with authentic experiences, they leave a lasting effect in their memory.

We aim to provide a learning environment that is rich with experiences to grow and foster love of learning. With a very small teacher:student ratio, we strive to give the best possible individual care and attention to your child that no other early learning environment in Tokyo can provide.

Our teachers are qualified as teachers with Bachelors in Education and trained in Montessori. Above all, they are warm and loving caregivers/educators which we value the most in our school.

Considering the reality of the non Montessori elementary school options available, we will also put a strong emphasis on academics as they approach the graduating age. We will support not only your child but also your family to the best of our ability to enter an international school, after graduating from our kindergarten.

Bambini Academia / After School Program

Our after school care program provided as a way for busy parents to make the most of their children’s time. It is a place for children to spend time after school in a home away from home. With a flexible schedule, every child’s needs will be accommodated in a way that opens up exciting avenues of learning and creativity.

They are encouraged to sign up for Homework Club where they will be guided to complete their homework from school or any other homework they may get from the parents. We also offer semi private lessons to assist them with Mathematics and Language Arts needs according to their level. They will be given the opportunity to interact with children of different nationalities and age groups in an English speaking environment providing the same homely atmosphere of a family with siblings. Please check the other enrichment opportunities available for regular members, if interested.

With 1:4 teacher student ratio, semi-private lessons provide a flexible, customized approach for learning. Sessions will be catered according to subject matter, learning style and individual academic ability of the child rather than grade indication. As children learn best in an environment where they can interact closely with both their peers and instructors to build trust, semi-private lessons are recommended for all students.
Homework Club is offered after school to students who not only want individualized, professional guidance on their homework assignments but also for those who want to get ahead on academic subjects. With an emphasis on our integrated English curriculum, students will be monitored as they work, receive extra support on more difficult assignments, and will be encouraged to explore their individuality, imagination, and English proficiency.
Saturday school is a program for children from different age groups to come together as a learning community to enhance their English language skills. They learn through social interaction, playing board games, puzzles, listening to stories and individualized lessons on all aspects of the English language.
