Opening the Door to the Future Through Elementary School Entrance

At St. Marian Nursery, our all-in-one approach allows us to support families with entrance preparation in a balanced and stress-free way. From infancy, each step of growth builds a natural foundation that leads smoothly to elementary school entrance, while nurturing smiles in both parents and children. Along the way, we encourage the development of non-cognitive skills, critical thinking, and healthy study habits in a natural and joyful manner. We believe that preparing for elementary school entrance is simply a continuation of thoughtful, caring parenting. With this in mind, we walk side by side with families, sharing the hope for each child’s bright future.

 

 

Supporting Parents Who Strive for Both Career and Entrance Preparation

St. Marian Nursery includes the affiliated early learning program Regulus-kai. During their time with us, children acquire essential daily habits while engaging in hands-on, sensory-based activities. Through this experiential curriculum, we nurture each child’s natural ability to grow and thrive.

SUCCESS POINT

Three Key Features of Children Who Succeed

1. A Long-Term Program Starting from Infancy—Not Cramming

By beginning at an early age, children can prepare for entrance exams at a comfortable pace. Since learning starts as part of play, they naturally stay ahead of peers, building both confidence and motivation.

2. Integrated Nursery & Prep Class—
Balancing Exam Prep and Parents’ Careers

Because the prep program is directly connected to the nursery, we support not only children’s academic needs but also their daily routines and emotional well-being. With all exam subjects—papers, art, and physical activities—covered during childcare hours, parents can manage exam prep without the burden of extra pick-ups, making it easier to balance with work.

3. Comprehensive Support Through Personalized Instruction

Each lesson includes detailed feedback, clearly identifying strengths and areas for improvement. All the materials needed for home study are provided, so families know exactly what to focus on, allowing children to dedicate themselves fully to exam preparation.

SUPPORTING

Full Support Only Personalized Instruction Can Provide

Close Partnership with Parents

We provide a comprehensive support system tailored to elementary school entrance preparation, working in close partnership with parents to guide each child toward success. In addition to classroom lessons, we supply educational materials that encourage effective learning at home, ensuring well-rounded support in every area.
