About Us
Welcome to Kodomo Kokoro
Where Little Hearts Grow in Harmony
At Kodomo Kokoro, we believe childhood is a sacred journey—a time to nurture not just the mind, but the heart, spirit, and hands. Inspired by the gentle wisdom of Japanese early education, our preschool is a place where kindness, curiosity, and connection blossom naturally. Here, learning flows through daily rhythms, nature exploration, meaningful routines, and joyful play. Our children grow in confidence as they learn to fold their own napkins, tend to the garden, care for one another, and explore the world through hands-on experiences. With every smile, shared snack, and thoughtful step, we gently guide children to develop life skills, mindfulness, and empathy—preparing them not just for school, but for life. Come discover a preschool where the kokoro (heart) of every child is honored and cherished.
Mission
To nurture the inner world of every child through gentle guidance, meaningful routines, and joyful exploration. Inspired by the harmony of nature and the rhythm of daily life, we create a space where children grow with awareness, empathy, creativity, and a deep sense of belonging.
Vision
To create a nurturing space where young hearts and minds grow in harmony—with themselves, others, and the world. We envision a preschool where each child’s natural curiosity is honored, life skills are learned through joyful routines, and empathy is fostered through shared experiences. Guided by the gentle wisdom of Japanese philosophy, we aim to raise thoughtful, resilient, and compassionate learners—one mindful moment at a time.
WHY Kodomo Kokoro?
To honor the child’s inner world: We believe every child has an innate curiosity, emotional depth, and unique rhythm of learning that should be respected and nurtured.
To provide balance: Our blended approach draws the best from multiple educational systems to meet the intellectual, emotional, and social needs of today’s young learners.
To prepare for life, not just school: We aim to raise mindful, independent, and empathetic individuals with a strong foundation in creativity, problem-solving, and self-regulation.
To offer an intentional alternative: In a fast-paced world, we provide a slower, more meaningful early childhood experience that allows children to truly blossom.
