About Tokyo Bees
デジタル世代と呼ばれる現代の子どもたちは、SNSやLINEなどのチャットメッセージでコミュニケーションをとることがごく当たり前のこととなり、人前で話す機会が減ってしまった今だからこそ、人前で堂々と発表をすることに自信をつけてあげたいと思っています。大人になってから必要とされるスキルは子どものうちに身につけることが大切です。
私たちのプログラムは、語学の学習、また話すというスキルに特化したプログラムです。子どもたちは、上手に自分の気持ちや伝えたいことを伝えるようになることで、自分に自信がつき、社交性にも大きく影響を及ぼします。
"Before a child talks they sing. Before they write they draw. As soon as they stand they dance. Art is fundamental to human expression."
- Phylicia Rashad
「自信」をつけてあげることは、子どもたちへの最高のギフトです。
自分に自信のある子どもたちは、社交性があり、周囲に同調することができ、失敗を恐れません。自信を持つことで、勇気を持って質問をしたり、次のコミュニケーションへと繋がることで、自分たちの可能性を無限に広げて行きます。私たち大人は、子どもたちにたくさんの自信を身につけてあげれるようにリードしていくことがとても重要です。
How do we achieve these goals?
子供達にとってとても楽しく、興味深いものにするために、子どもたちの想像力やポテンシャルを卓越できるようなレッスンを心がけています。
