Our Benefits

Why Choose Our Service
Fun play lays the foundation for learning. em.Tree is an integrated program developed from the founder’s research and practical experience, based on approaches used in early childhood education around the world.

An approach that draws on
experience in international educational settings

Through play, children gain repeated experiences of “thinking, experimenting, and innovating,” which helps build a foundation for learning.

Teaching materials and lessons designed by our director based on years of research and practical experience

We carefully tailor our programs to suit each child’s age, developmental stage, and individuality, offering everything from small-group sessions to one-on-one instruction.

Nurturing the Skills Needed for the Future
Integrated Curriculum

Through play, art, physical activity, and communication, we nurture non-cognitive skills, problem-solving abilities, and self-efficacy (the belief that one can succeed).

We value the process of taking on challenges more than the end result.
We support students even when they fail, and prioritize interactions that build their confidence.

Programs

Starting with each child’s desire to “give it a try,”
we create an environment that fosters learning and physical and emotional growth
tailored to each child’s individual development and personality.

By valuing the trust we build with each child
and providing a supportive environment where we watch over them,
we emphasize the process of trying, thinking, and innovating,

thereby nurturing their ability to take on challenges
and their sense of self-efficacy.

These experiences will become a powerful asset for their future.

Play | Exploration

Starting with curiosity, we experiment, tinker, and try again. The process of exploration found in play lays the foundation for problem-solving skills.

Art | Expression

By engaging with forms of expression that have no single correct answer, we nurture sensitivity and creativity. Experiences that allow children to feel, “It’s okay to see things my way,” lead to a quiet sense of confidence.

Movement | Development

We help children develop physical coordination and lay the foundation for concentration and good posture. Through balance, rhythm, and sensory play, we nurture the skills essential for learning.

Communication | The Ability to Convey Information

Developing the ability to communicate, listen, and synthesize information (presentation skills). The experience of speaking in your own words fosters self-expression and social skills.

It’s not about the end result, but the process of taking on a challenge.
We view failure as a natural part of growth,
and we carefully support children every step of the way until they reach that moment of “I did it!”

Testimonials

From the parent of a 2-year-old child

From the parent of
a 2-year-old child

I always find these sessions to be very fulfilling.

The lessons include activities like rolling marbles, catching feathers, stacking blocks, threading beads, and playing karuta. None of these feel like rigid “schoolwork”; instead, they’re designed to keep children fully engrossed in play. Through these activities, I feel that their concentration, creativity, and fine motor skills are naturally developing.

It was truly impressive to see their individual personalities emerge as they played.

What stood out most was how much my son genuinely looked forward to the teacher’s visits every time. He would even ask on his own, “Is the teacher coming today?” making lesson time feel truly special.

I also greatly appreciated being able to catch up on housework and errands during the lessons, which gave me both mental and physical breathing room.

Furthermore, being able to incorporate the games we learned in class into our home playtime has significantly expanded our repertoire of indoor activities—a major benefit.

Lately, my son has even started suggesting games himself, saying, “I want to play this,” and I can really see how much he’s grown.

Every time, the teacher carefully identifies my son’s strengths and puts them into words. This has taught me a lot as a parent, and it has not only boosted my son’s self-esteem but also made me feel more positive myself.

I feel that these lessons have been a wonderful break for both of us.

Also, the reports we receive after every session are truly wonderful. They provide such detailed records of the day’s activities that just reading them brings back vivid memories of the scene and my son’s expressions. Thanks to these thoughtful reflections, I’ve been able to clearly see his progress.

Both my son and I were completely satisfied with the lessons. We are truly grateful for the invaluable time you’ve provided—a time where learning happens naturally through fun play.

From the parent of a 3-year-old child

From the parent of
a 3-year-old child

Ever since my child turned one, I’ve felt anxious about how to raise him, even though I knew there was no “right answer” to parenting.
That’s when I discovered Ms. Eri’s brain training program.

We started the lessons when he was 18 months old. At first, I wondered if it might be a little too early, but through the sessions, Ms. Eri carefully helped me understand my son’s strengths and unique traits, and I, as a parent, learned a great deal myself.

My son also began to enjoy the lessons not as “studying” but as “play,” and I feel he is naturally developing his abilities. He is now 3 years old and looks forward to every lesson!

In addition, I received specific guidance on how to speak to and interact with him on a daily basis, which led to significant changes in how we interact at home.
Realizing what my son excels at and being able to think about how to nurture those strengths has been a major growth experience for me as well.

By the time he was two and a half, I could see his growth reflected in the school’s evaluations, and I felt that all our hard work had truly paid off.

It’s not just about taking lessons; it’s about nurturing a child’s strengths and expanding their potential. I feel that em.Tree’s brain training is what makes that possible.
