Last month the Treehouse Montessori School in Yokohama celebrated going back to school with a picnic in the school garden. Parents, guardians, and caretakers were invited to bring along their favourite obento boxes and join the children.
This was a great opportunity for families to get to know each other, and everyone was given time to introduce themselves. Parents were shown the school’s pet snake, Bolt, as well as the ten-year anniversary tree planted by the children. The picnic was followed by an orientation session covering the upcoming year’s schedule, curriculum, and general rules and regulations, as well as teacher introductions and Q&A time.
Treehouse aims to provide a quality education to the international community of Yokohama in an aesthetically pleasing environment for children aged one to six years. Qualified and inspiring teachers encourage bilingualism and adopt a holistic approach to children’s education. Children of all nationalities are welcome.
