Why 'Listen Listen Hello English!' is Recommended 1. A reassuring first step in English for parents This program is one that parents can confidently show to their children and learn English together. 'In the future, I want my child to be exposed to English from a young age'—this program is designed with such parental wishes in mind, so that video viewing time directly translates to learning.

A structure that naturally acquires English and life skills through play and experience The program will repeatedly experience English 'through play' (singing, dancing, crafts), English 'through thinking' (intellectual education, inquiry learning), English 'through physical activity' (exercise, job experience), and English 'through communication' (life skills). Together with life-sized characters, the program will stimulate children's 'want to know!' and 'want to do!' with a fun rhythm. 3. A reassuring design tailored to early childhood, made possible by KDI, a professional in early childhood education Ages 2-6 are an important period called the 'Golden Age,' where children's English ears grow significantly and can naturally absorb sounds and rhythms. This program is planned and supervised by KDI, a bilingual preschool that is well-versed in these characteristics. Utilizing the expertise of Yaruki Switch Group, a member of the TBS Group, in early childhood education, the program is designed with consideration for age and developmental stages, allowing children to learn while having fun. 4.

What is Bilingual Preschool KDI?

'International schools have a high barrier to entry,' 'But I want my child to have a solid English foundation,' 'I want to cultivate not only English but also skills that will lead to the future'—such voices from parents have been increasing in recent years.

In particular, dual-income households are seeing a growing need to balance work and childcare while not compromising on the quality of education. KDI was born in 2014 to respond to such voices, as a bilingual preschool.

With bilingual education in English and Japanese as its foundation, KDI offers a variety of curricula, including the 'English × Job Experience Program,' where children can role-play over 20 different professions and learn about society in a fun way using English, as well as intellectual education, physical education, life skills, and inquiry-based learning. The preschool provides an 'all-in-one educational environment' where children can complete their learning within the preschool without the need for multiple extracurricular activities.

In addition to standard childcare (9:00 AM to 5:00 PM), KDI also offers extended morning care from 7:30 AM, extended evening care until 8:00 PM, and bus transportation to and from home, providing a reassuring environment for dual-income households that caters to their lifestyle.

※ Golden Age According to brain science research, this is a period when children are more likely to absorb sounds, words, and movements, known as the 'optimal learning age.' It is believed that receiving appropriate stimuli during this period helps develop the foundation for intelligence, physical abilities, and language skills. ※ Life Skills This refers to the basic life habits that form the foundation of life and the social skills that are cultivated through group life. In addition to basic life habits such as greetings, personal care, following orders, and expressing feelings, it also includes social skills such as how to interact within a group and empathy.
