Dear Joy Families,

Happy New Year! We hope 2025 brings joy, growth, and wonderful opportunities for your family.

Thank you for choosing Joy to the World. We’re honored to be the place where your child can learn and grow in a safe, inspiring environment. And we’re proud to provide this foundation while supporting your family every step of the way.

This year, we’ve decided not to participate in the Bunkyo-ku/Tokyo City subsidy program. While we met most of their requirements and built a strong relationship with the inspectors—who were impressed with our program—we found that certain fundamental differences, especially around training standards, made it challenging to align completely. Since families will miss out on the subsidy, we’ve created a special savings opportunity to ensure you continue to receive meaningful support.
