Montessori Method

What makes our school so unique is our adherence to the teaching method known as “Montessori.” The Montessori method employs many practical, sensory, mathematics, and phonetic lessons that optimizes the ability for your children to learn, conceptualize, and retain the knowledge presented. The results are outstanding and has proven time and time again to be one of the very best means to give your young child a strong head-start.

Parents' Testimonies

„My wife and I read dozens of positive opinions about Montessori education; that it’s the most advanced method allowing kids to gain outstanding results. We decided to choose a kindergarten with such a system for our daughter. We were so happy to find out that one recently opened in Tsukuba! “First Steps” is so great! My daughter started from April 2017 and she is doing just fine. Moreover, how surprised we were when one day – after a couple of months – she started using English at home, even though it’s not her mother tongue. So, I believe the teachers are doing a great job there. We appreciate their efforts a lot.” – Kate’s dad
