Congratulations to the graduates!

In March, the graduation ceremony took place, marking the end of learning for the senior students at Olive Kindergarten. At the ceremony, the children confidently presented their individual projects in English, with themes they had chosen themselves, and performed a musical adaptation of "Little Red Riding Hood" entirely in English. Olive places great importance on the sensitive period for language development during early childhood. At this stage, when children absorb both Japanese and English as one language, they naturally acquire English through daily interactions and lessons with native teachers, rather than through rote memorization. Additionally, through daily Montessori activities, children develop the ability to think critically and express their opinions confidently. This accumulation of daily educational experiences helps children build self-confidence and face new challenges with a grown perspective.
