News & Announcements

Starting in April 2025, we’re enhancing our curriculum with more English-language activities and increased opportunities for cultural exchange with international staff. These updates are part of our commitment to nurturing globally minded children.

A Message from the Director

Make a Dream! Make a Future!

Creating a hopeful future with our own hands.
In April 2025, Miahelsa Preschool Hibiki Shirokane Takanawa opened as a fresh, global environment where children can expand their horizons. We nurture children to dream, hold onto hope, and confidently walk their own paths in a diverse society.
Preschool is a child’s first step into social life. We value each child’s unique personality and work hard to create a safe, comforting place where every child feels at home. Our staff is fully dedicated to supporting each child’s growth and well-being.
While the digital age brings convenience to our lives, nothing can replace genuine human warmth. We encourage children to love and value themselves and to connect that kindness to empathy for others through heartfelt communication.

Cross-Cultural Communication
Teachers from abroad join us in daily life at preschool. Through fun and engaging English activities, children learn about different cultures and widen their worldviews. Embracing differences and cooperating builds joyful experiences that inspire a rich future. We also cherish Japanese identity by fostering appreciation for Japanese culture and traditions, guiding children on their first steps to becoming true global citizens.

A Creative and Inspiring Environment
Outdoor play lets children experience sunlight, the breeze, and the colors of nature firsthand. Nature is a treasure trove for play and inspiration that sparks creativity. Our well-equipped art studio provides space for children to freely express their unique creativity and curiosity.

Community Connections
We place importance on connecting with our local community, knowing that diverse interactions enrich children’s experiences. We take children out into the neighborhood and welcome neighbors to join us, aiming to build a warm, lively community that resonates together.
Like a brilliant rainbow across the sky, every child’s unique colors will shine, and their dreams and hopes will become a bridge to a bright future. Our entire team wholeheartedly supports this journey. We want to help children build a better world!
Sincerely,
Director, Merhalsa Hibiki Shirokane Takanawa Preschool
