Who started it?

This playgroup was started in April 2010 by two women living in Chiba, Japan. Laura Marushima an Australia and Stephanie Ando a South African wanted to be able to have an English playgroup closer to home for their babies aged 4 months (at the time).

April 2010

How does it work?
|
First event will be held May 18, 2010 in Kasai Rinkai Koen in Tokyo. The plan is to visit the aquarium there but we hope to meet once or twice a month in different parks or child-friendly areas in the Chiba or Tokyo North East area.
We add anyone interested in perhaps attending events to a mailing list that is run from chiba.peanuts (at) yahoo.co.uk.
