Welcome to RYOZAN PARK Montessori!

We embrace a holistic approach to education, valuing the delicate balance between learning and living.

At RYOZAN PARK (RZP) Montessori, our mission is clear: to nurture compassionate and independent global thinkers while fostering strong community bonds.

We believe in empowering children to become active participants in their own learning journey, preparing them to thrive in an interconnected world.

Join us as we pave the way for a brighter, more inclusive future.

Why Choose RYOZAN PARK Montessori for Your Child

From the first day of class, we work to instill two primary values:
1. This is “our classroom,” and we must care for it just as we do our homes.
2. We are all friends and we help each other.
At RYOZAN PARK Montessori, we celebrate diversity and inclusion in everything we do.
It is never too early to educate for empowerment. Graduates of our Montessori kindergarten show self-direction, independence, and a sense of responsibility for themselves, their peers, and their environment—all qualities that prepare them for the next stage of education, whether it be Japanese elementary or international school.
Montessori education focuses on unlocking a child's individual potential to lead a happy and fulfilled life.
Dr. Maria Montessori developed this method based on child development, aiming to educate the whole child in various areas.
The approach involves a triad of the child, the prepared adult, and the prepared environment, with carefully chosen materials to inspire self-construction.
Respect for the child's individual path is emphasized, with no grades or tests, and each child is supported based on their unique interests and development.
In our Montessori classroom, children are seen as confident, motivated, and curious individuals.
RYOZAN PARK Montessori focuses on supporting spoken language development in their Montessori classroom, where the majority of students are English language learners with Japanese as their first language.
The classroom environment allows for individualized learning through one-on-one and small group work, with guides speaking English at all times to create an immersive experience. Language is incorporated naturally throughout the day, including during activities.
Monthly language extensions focus on topics of interest to children, such as animals and habitats, with related activities available for exploration. Singing, dancing, and reading are also integral parts of the classroom routine, providing opportunities for language development and engagement.

What Parents Say

Anna Melia-Maude

“I was delighted to find this school when I moved to Tokyo. Such a warm, nurturing environment, and my son loves it! Also, it's a very useful place for parents. There’s regular get-togethers, so it’s easy to socialize, and the coworking space on the floor below is a huge bonus. The staff and other mothers are really supportive, and I’m really pleased that a place like this exists in Tokyo.”
Katherine Lee

“I still remember my daughter's joy on her first school visit! The staff has been helpful, which we appreciate and the community is so nice and gives me peace of mind while the kids get more confident.
Over the years, my daughter has excelled academically and developed good manners and a caring attitude. Choosing RZP Montessori was one of the best decisions our family made.”
Kimberley Gale

“Being a new parent and expat can be lonely, so RYOZAN PARK Montessori feels like home to us. Natural light, colorful decor, and music make it vibrant and welcoming, and teachers are experienced, supportive, and always smiling.
My coworking space helps me focus, and the staff share my values of play-based learning and community. I feel comfortable, and my daughter is really happy.”
Matthew Best

“Our daughter has really enjoyed her time here at RYOZAN PARK and she has learned a lot. It is making finding another kindergarten a more difficult task because Ryozan Park is so very well run.
It’s a fun and inclusive community, with a lot of friendships being made not only with the children but also with the parents too. I highly recommend RZP.”

A Montessori work cycle is a period of uninterrupted time when your child works with the materials (activities) on the shelf. They themselves choose what they want to learn, how, and with whom. Children can work independently, in pairs or in large groups (with or without the teacher).
In a typical work cycle, children choose from the art shelf, the language shelf, the math shelf and the practical life shelf. We also do group work daily (either everyone together or in small groups) and sing, read stories, talk about our day, and discuss various topics based on the month’s theme. Our work cycle also includes science experiments, ‘Show and Tell Wednesdays’, and physical activities like dance and yoga.
We welcome office members, families, and staff of all ages and backgrounds, encouraging communication, collaboration, and friendship. We celebrate various local festivals and those from our students' home countries to appreciate and learn about different cultures and lifestyles.

Teachers speak in English, but children are free to communicate in their preferred language. If a child is upset or needs help, Japanese may be used to comfort or reassure them. Additionally, on Thursday afternoons, there are activities in Japanese, such as safety and food education, seasonal events, and Japanese culture.
We have two to four registered nurses working per day.
Yes, we use a delivery service three times a week, and a caterer prepares hot plant-based lunches in the school's kitchen twice a week.
