Infant Classroom, Childcare/ Shoto International Pre School
At Shoto Infant Classroom, we aim to provide a place for children to make their debut in group life, to gain many experiences, and to enjoy learning with their friends.
Children have unlimited potential.

2Basic living practices such as greetings, manners, language, and preparation can be acquired.
3Programs (language, common sense, perception, quantity, composition, reasoning, memory, etc.) are offered according to each child's age and developmental levels.
