Hello! My name is Reina, and I’ve had the pleasure of living in Japan for over 10 years. During this time, I’ve had the privilege of teaching preschool and kindergarten at two outstanding international schools in Tokyo, including Summerhill.

As a teacher, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the unique identities, personalities, and developmental journeys of each child. I firmly believe that childhood is a journey, not a race. My years of experience in international schools have taught me that diversity is more than just our differences; it’s about embracing and celebrating each person’s uniqueness. With open arms and a full heart, I welcome and honor every child’s individuality.

I am truly honored to have been a part of Summerhill for the past four years and to contribute to such a nurturing and inclusive community.
