It began with a very personal question. <strong>\u201cDoes English have to be this difficult for my child?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n                            <p>As an ordinary mother who hadn't even sent her child to an English-language kindergarten, I decided to consider sending my child to an American kindergarten during my stay on a tourist visa, rather than going on an expensive early study abroad program. My goal was to make English a part of my daily life, not just a subject.<\/p>\r\n                            <p>And one day, when I went to pick up the child, I heard this one thing. <strong>\u201cMommy~\u201d<\/strong> The call contained no memorized words or practiced phrases, but it carried the comfort of a child who had accepted that space as his own.<\/p>\r\n                            <p>At that moment, I realized that what my child needed wasn't how quickly he learned English, but rather the experience of becoming comfortable in English.<\/p>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <div class=\"pt-book-chapter\">\r\n                        <h4 class=\"pt-accordion-trigger\">02. Learn English through life, not through studying.<\/h4>\r\n                        <div class=\"pt-book-content pt-accordion-content\">\r\n                            <p>The day in American kindergarten wasn't divided into \"learning time\" for English. Every moment\u2014playing, arguing, and making up\u2014was an English-focused environment.<\/p>\r\n                            <p>Children didn't sit in chairs and memorize sentences. They spoke English when they needed to while playing, to approach friends, and to express their feelings. So, children didn't learn English as something they \"had to do.\" <strong>'What I want to write'<\/strong>was accepted as such.<\/p>\r\n                            <p>The biggest change that remained for the child was not the grammar or the vocabulary, but that he was no longer afraid of English.<\/p>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <div class=\"pt-book-chapter\">\r\n                        <h4 class=\"pt-accordion-trigger\">03.

That's why Preschool Tour still adheres to the principles of small classes, mothers accompanying the children, and focusing on actual school life.<\/p>\r\n                            <p>If your child's English is still in its infancy, let them experience \"English in everyday life\" before \"studying.\" Preschool Tour helps your child develop English throughout their day.<\/p>\r\n
