Dear Families,
Welcome to Kodomo Kokoro, where we believe in the quiet magic of early childhood—where every small moment is a big step in learning, and every child is met with care, curiosity, and deep respect. Our approach combines the calm structure of Montessori with the nurturing environment inspired by Japanese values of harmony, mindfulness, and simplicity. We offer a space where your child can explore freely, form meaningful relationships, and build a foundation of lifelong learning. We are honored to be part of your child’s journey and look forward to growing together.
With warmth, The Kodomo Kokoro Team
