Like our books, students can also access our digital reading resouces at home that helps strengthen home-school connection.

Physical activity extends well beyond physical health, having a positive impact on the domains of motor skills, psychological well-being, cognitive development, social competence and emotional maturity.

Hi there! My name is Jessica. I am from Chicago, Illinois, USA. I have lived in Japan for over two years and am enjoying it thoroughly.
I have had the pleasure of watching many children develop and learn new communication skills.
My goal is to show children that communication is fun, and that when we try our best great things come from it. Children have such a wonderful ability to try their hardest at every task, while not being afraid of mistakes.
Every child is different in the ways that they learn and absorb information. Finding the best way to help with each child’s individual needs is what is so rewarding about working with children from a young age.
I hope to help the children of Aiwin to become confident in their own abilities and to grow into the globally successful people that I know they can be.CLOSE -

Nice to meet you. My name is Naho Yoshikawa.
I studied early childhood education at university and worked as a nursery teacher and kindergarten teacher. Among them, I was interested in English, overseas childcare and education, and went to Australia for a year to study abroad. Therefore, I was keen to learn about the culture of foreign countries and the wonderfulness of overseas exchange, and to convey it to the children even when I returned to Japan.
By learning English and international culture at Aiwin, I hope that children will have a broad perspective on what the future will look like and will expand their potential and grow.
I hope that I will be able to become a bridge between Japan and other cultures by knowing both the good points of diversity.
To that end, I would like to convey the wonders of both English, foreign culture, and Japanese culture.I am looking forward to seeing you in Aiwin!
