Dear Families,
Welcome to Melodies International Kindergarten. As the Director and Principal of this beloved school, I would like to share a piece of my heart with you. Our journey began in 1981 when my mother, Mrs. Shompoonut Lee, founded this kindergarten with a vision: to nurture happy, strong, and independent children. Her unwavering dedication has shaped not only the school but also my life, instilling in me the values of resilience, happiness, and independence.
As we continue to grow as a family business, we cherish the importance of family values in everything we do. I was raised to understand that true happiness comes from within and that every child has the potential to thrive when they are given the right support and encouragement. At Melodies, we strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where every child can explore, learn, and flourish.
I take immense pride in the fact that we have guided over 4,000 children on their journeys, watching them spread their wings and embrace the world. Our programs—whether in the Japanese section, International section, or Nursery—are thoughtfully designed to reflect the needs of today’s families while focusing on the individual growth of each child.
