As a preschool primarily serving families from the surrounding villages of 339/EB, we encourage parents and carers to walk their child to school whenever possible. For those who travel from outside the village by car, motorcycle, or van, please note that parking is at your own risk, as we currently do not have a dedicated parking facility. Kindly do not park any vehicles inside the school campus, and we respectfully request all parents to adhere to this guideline for the safety and convenience of everyone.

COMPLAINTS

JGS hopes very much that you will never need to complain about our service. However, no organisation is perfect, and we have a comprehensive complaints policy. In essence, it involves 3 stages:

  1. Discussing the matter with staff
  2. Discussing the matter with committee
  3. Referring the matter to Executive Director

Please refer to the full prospectus and/or notice board for more information.

THE CHILDREN AT JAPAN GRAMMAR SCHOOL

At Japan Grammar School, children are encouraged to explore, investigate, and learn through a variety of materials, environments, and experiences. They develop essential skills by engaging in hands-on activities and learning to collaborate, communicate, and cooperate with both adults and peers throughout their time with us.

The first days

Supporting Your Child’s Transition A child who feels anxious may find it hard to learn. That’s why it's important for both parents and preschool staff to work together to help the child feel safe, confident, and happy in the school setting. Every child adjusts differently—some settle quickly, while others take more time, and that’s completely normal. Parents are encouraged to stay patient and supportive during this time.

Settling In Without Tears (Important Information)

Starting school is a big step for both children and parents. At JGS, we follow a gentle three-stage settling-in process to help make the transition smooth and tear-free. Rushing through this process can lead to stress-related behaviors such as clinginess, sleep issues, or anxiety.

📌 Please Note: Children under the age of 4 may need a little more time in each stage to settle comfortably. Your support is key to their success.

Stage 1 – Familiarisation (Visit 1)

This is the first step in helping your child settle at JGS. During this short visit (around 1.5 hours), your child explores the environment while staying close to you. Show them the toilets, play together, and highlight fun activities. No need to rush—your presence and gentle teacher support help them feel safe and welcome.

Stage 2 - Forming an attachment (Visit 2 and 3. if needed)

In addition to becoming familiar with the new environment, it is essential for young children to build trust and connection with the staff at JGS. This stage focuses on helping your child feel secure and comfortable with their designated key-worker. A gradual reduction in parental presence allows the child to gain independence and confidence in staying with their key-teacher. To support this transition, we recommend visiting JGS at least twice a week so your child can become familiar with the daily routine and develop a strong, reassuring bond with their key-teacher.

Stage 3 - Gradual separation (Visit 3 or 4)

At this stage, we introduce short periods of separation. Once your child is happily engaged in play, the key-teacher or Manager may ask you to step out briefly (e.g., to fetch something). This helps your child adjust to being without you while knowing you’ll return soon. If your child becomes distressed, we may return to Stage 2. Gradually, you may be asked to leave the premises for 5–10 minutes while your child stays with staff support. Some children, such as those with previous nursery experience or siblings at JGS, may settle faster. However, at least one accompanied session is still required. All settling-in plans are flexible and based on your child’s individual needs, in consultation with the Manager and key-teacher.

SNACK TIME

At Japan Grammar School, children enjoy a healthy snack during both the morning and afternoon sessions. In line with government guidelines, we actively promote healthy eating habits. All students are encouraged to bring nutritious snacks from home. To ensure the safety and well-being of every child, it is essential that we are informed of any food allergies. If your child's allergy information has changed or needs updating, please contact the school office—update forms are readily available.

FUNDING AND FEES

Japan Grammar School is supported by the Iraj Education & Development Foundation and funded by the Embassy of Japan. As there is no external operational support, the school relies on student fees.

Monthly Fee: PKR 500
Registration Fee: PKR 1,000 (one-time)

Parents are responsible for providing books, uniforms, shoes, and other school supplies. Fees must be paid by the 10th of each month and are non-refundable in cases of absence, illness, holidays, or mid-term withdrawal. Prolonged absences will be reviewed by the School Committee.

ILLNESS, ACCIDENTS & EMERGENCIES

Please keep your child at home if they are unwell. Children showing signs of illness or fever may be sent home for the safety of others. Inform staff if your child is absent due to illness, especially if it's contagious (e.g., chickenpox). After vomiting or diarrhoea, allow 48 hours before returning.

Parents must provide up-to-date emergency contact numbers. If your child arrives with an injury from home, please fill out an Existing Injury Form and submit it to their key teacher or the Manager.

EMERGENCY TREATMENT

In the case of accidents or urgent medical needs, the Manager and staff will make every effort to contact parents immediately. If parents cannot be reached, we may need to act in the child’s best interest.

A letter of consent is included in the registration pack allowing us to act on your behalf in emergencies. While signing this form is optional, we strongly encourage it for your child's safety.

MEDICATION

The letter of consent includes optional clauses allowing staff to assist with emergency treatment, supervise the use of an asthma inhaler, or apply a plaster if needed.

Written permission is required for any medication or treatment to be administered during school hours. If your child uses an inhaler, you must train the staff and sign a disclaimer before leaving your child at school.

SAFETY

The safety and well-being of children at JGS is our highest priority. All equipment is regularly inspected to ensure it is safe for use.

Hazardous materials, such as cleaning products, are securely stored out of children's reach. Children are not allowed in the kitchen or storage areas.

All cleaning products used meet the standards set by the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) regulations.
