Sunny Letus Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Juri Yamamoto; hereinafter 'Sunny Letus'), which operates the elementary school entrance exam support community 'Shoju Baton', will open 'BLOOMIA', an experiential early childhood classroom that systematically fosters the knowledge and abilities required for elementary school entrance exams through exploratory activities in nature, starting in April 2026. The first program was fully booked on the same day reservations began. In response to the high demand, we have decided to hold additional sessions of the program.
Every year, as families preparing for elementary school entrance exams enter the new school year, exam preparation gets into full swing. However, many families worry that a bias towards desk learning will make their children hate studying, or that they are relying on 'rote memorization without actual experience'. In fact, recent elementary school entrance exams place importance on 'thinking skills' and 'behavioral observation' that cannot be solved merely by memorizing knowledge from an encyclopedia. BLOOMIA was born to transform this 'exam exhaustion' into a 'process of growth' that parents and children can enjoy together.
About BLOOMIA
■ Service Overview
'BLOOMIA' is an innovative early childhood classroom that nurtures essential life skills while enjoyably developing the knowledge and abilities required for elementary school entrance exams through exploration and collaboration in nature.
Service Start Date: Accepting applications from April 2026
Location: Primary industry locations in and around Tokyo
■ Features
This classroom provides nature experiences as 'learning', distinct from mere leisure. Through creations, collaborative games, and experiments added to the experiences, we comprehensively cover the main subjects of elementary school entrance exams.
- Applications/Interviews: Creating unique "episodes" through nature experiences
- Paper tests: Deeply understanding "seasonal and general knowledge questions" through experience
- Production/Behavioral observation: Preparing for "practical skills and behavioral observation" through creation and collaborative games
Systematically fostering 5 abilities required for elementary school entrance exams
By breaking down the abilities needed for elementary school entrance exams into five categories and multiplying them by exploratory activities in nature and learning cycles, we lead children to acquire essential abilities.
Attention/Self-control: Cultivating the ability to listen to instructions and self-control through group collaborative work
Knowledge/Culture: Establishing knowledge of seasons, nature, and daily life as primary information through the five senses
Thinking/Logic: Deepening "why?" through observation of natural objects, fostering classification and application skills
Expression/Verbalization: Explaining one's own discoveries through quizzes and creative works, maximizing output skills
Sociability/Cooperativeness: Fostering a proactive attitude towards others in a field with no right answers
■ Voices from monitor participants (Excerpts)
In the monitor session held in March, we received the following feedback from parents actually preparing for elementary school entrance exams.
"Normal nature experiences are usually too difficult for parents to manage, and we often can't afford to offer guidance or reflection. However, at BLOOMIA, the teachers' support and the curriculum designed to solidify the experience were very helpful." (Mother of a senior kindergartener living in Tokyo)
"It was very good that the content was connected to the problems of elementary school entrance exams. It was very helpful because my child was able to enjoy experiencing creations and experiments that are hard to tackle at home." (Mother of a senior kindergartener living in Tokyo)
"Because it doesn't end with just the experience, but carefully draws out 'how they felt' and 'how they will explain it', I felt it is easy to remember and also serves as training for speaking in public." (Mother of a middle kindergartener living in Tokyo)
"The best thing was that my child seemed to be having a lot of fun. They were looking forward to the experience from the time they watched the advance video, and thanks to the cheerful interactions of the staff on the day, they were able to participate with peace of mind." (Mother of a middle kindergartener living in Tokyo)
■ Upcoming Schedule
May: Spring vegetable harvesting, vegetable art, playing store
June: Rice planting, waterside observation
July: Seine fishing experience, observation of summer sky and sea
Subsequent events: Announced as needed on official SNS (LINE, Instagram)
