Our Philosophy of Education
At Tamagawa International preschool we want to create a learning environment
that gives your children the optimum benefit in their first learning experiences
so that they can carry this with them throughout the rest of their lives.
Our Kindergarten program goals and teaching style encourage children to be
bold, and to be confident in expressing their opinions in their learning.
The absence of a high-pressure learning environment lets children be risk-takers
who are guided to learn to contribute their own ideas to learning.
Learning is focused on the ﹍process﹎ of learning, where children can experiment
with thoughts and ideas to ultimately achieve learning objectives in a much
more rewarding fashion than would be achieved through just an evaluation of the
end ﹍product﹎ of their learning.
Long after exit from our Kindergarten program, we hope to have fostered learning
that empowers children to become life-long learners. Tamagawa﹊s Kindergarten
program strives to create a foundation to give children the thinking skills that
today﹊s society demands.
