There's a moment that almost every new parent in Tokyo understands very well. You're really tired but also very, very in love with your baby, and you're trying to navigate a city that can be exciting but also really hard to figure out. Whether you're looking after a child who's away from their family, adjusting to life in Japan, or simply trying to find enjoyable and meaningful things for your child to do, having the right environment can make a really big difference.
For families who want to spend quality time together and help their baby grow, Mommy & Me classes provide a calm, organized way to learn in a group — and you stay close to your baby by being there.
What Makes Mommy & Me Classes Special for Tokyo Babies?
Mommy & Me programs are made for babies between 3 months and 2 years old, along with their mom, dad, or someone who takes care of them. These classes take place in warm and friendly campuses located in Tokyo as well as in Shin-Urayasu, Chiba. They offer a safe and caring space where babies can play, learn, and develop while being with their parents.
Through fun activities that match their age, songs, and hands-on experiences, children start building basic motor, social, and language skills in an English learning setting inspired by Montessori — and you're there with them every step of the way.
What Your Baby Experiences in Class
Each session focuses on important parts of a baby's early growth, and babies can take part in their own way, at their own speed.
🎵 Learning Through Play
Babies touch and play with soft things and different-feeling surfaces as they try to reach for objects, pick them up, and stretch their arms. These experiences help the brain develop and build the basis for movement skills.
🎶 Music & Rhythm
Songs, finger plays, and movement games help babies learn to listen, feel rhythm, and become familiar with the sounds of English in a fun and natural way. No formal teaching — just learning through fun and meaningful play.
👫 Making Connections
Babies start to get used to being around other kids through soft group activities. They are encouraged to watch, look around, and get involved whenever they feel comfortable.
🌼 Comfort & Routine
Simple changes, group activities, and quiet routines help babies feel at home in a classroom, making them feel safe and used to the environment.
Benefits for Parents Too
One of the best things about a Mommy & Me programme is that it helps both kids and the people taking care of them.
Many families enjoy having a special time to be with their child and also meet other parents who are going through the same early childhood stage. The program helps make a warm and friendly place where both babies and the people taking care of them can feel helped and motivated.
For families in Tokyo or Chiba, including those from different countries and international residents, Mommy & Me offers a great chance to connect with others while taking part in a planned learning activity together.
An English Immersion Environment from the Beginning
A special part of the Sunshine Kids Academy's Mommy & Me programme is the English immersion environment.
Babies learn English naturally by listening to songs, moving around, playing games, and having fun with people in a friendly and caring environment. Language is learned through real-life activities done with a parent or caregiver, instead of sitting in a classroom for lessons.
This soft introduction helps kids get used to hearing and speaking English from a young age, and they enjoy learning in a positive way, which builds a strong start for becoming bilingual.
A Gentle Introduction to Future Learning
Sunshine Kids Academy's Mommy & Me is a satisfying program that works on its own for families looking to have fun and learn together in a meaningful way. It also acts as a soft start to the full range of nursery, pre-prep, and preschool programs offered by Sunshine Kids Academy as children develop.
The timing for the transition can be adjusted as needed and will be discussed according to your child's progress and what works best for your family. Some families decide to switch after just a few meetings, but others stay involved for many months.
