Kensington International Preschool

Kensington International Preschool offers high-quality English-immersion education in small groups, in a beautiful, nature-rich setting in Hirao-Josui, Fukuoka, next to the zoo. English is not treated as a single subject—it is the language of thinking, inquiry, and connection throughout the day.

Our Methodology

The Kensington Approach

At Kensington, everything begins with deep respect for children whom we see as capable partners in learning. We create an environment where Joy and Wonder lead naturally to meaningful Academic Progress, and where children feel safe to try, make mistakes, grow, and thrive.

Our curriculum blends a Reggio Emilia-inspired, play centered, inquiry-led approach with strong early academic foundations (English language & literacy, early numeracy, science), supported by warm, attentive educators in small groups.

What Makes us Special - 私たちの特長

1:4 Teacher to Child Ratio

One of the lowest teacher-to-child ratios in Fukuoka. Small groups allow for more individualised attention and care for each child.

Deep Respect for the Child

Children are seen as capable, curious individuals with their own ideas, interests, and feelings. Rather than simply directing or controlling them, teachers listen, think alongside them, and support their learning.

Independence and Initiative

We create an environment where children think for themselves, take initiative, and engage actively in their learning and daily life. At the same time, they learn to work together and care for others.

Joy, Wonder, and Growth

Learning at Kensington is joyful, meaningful, and emotionally rich. Children are encouraged to follow their interests, explore freely, and grow with confidence.
