May 1, 2025 - Torrance, CA – Building on two years of strong nationwide success, JustSystems, one of Japan’s largest and most trusted educational software companies, is expanding its acclaimed Smile Zemi platform to include its Kindergarten Course, a robust, interactive, tablet-based learning system designed specifically for the Kindergarteners. This service provides a curriculum that aligns with Common Core State Standards and empowers students to independently master all relevant courses on their own. Beginning May 1, 2025, families across the U.S. will be able to register for the Smile Zemi Kindergarten Course at www.smile-zemi.com.

“The Smile Zemi method is designed to deliver educational materials that motivate children to study independently,” says Kyotaro Sekinada, President and CEO of JustSystems. “Since our initial launch here in the U.S., we’ve received incredibly positive feedback from both parents and teachers, and now we are pleased to extend the platform to include Kindergarten-aged children.”

The Smile Zemi Kindergarten Course is uniquely designed to meet the needs of early learners by offering engaging, screen-based instruction - certain skills ideal to be acquired in Kindergarten. It empowers children to study independently across seven key foundational subject areas that are essential in cultivating skills before reaching Grade 1 including Alphabet, English Language Arts (ELA), Math, Social Skills, Science, Thinking Skills, and Art & Music. Priced at $99.99 per month, the Smile Zemi Kindergarten Course includes a 21-day home trial, giving families the opportunity to explore the platform at their own pace.

“As a kindergarten teacher I absolutely love the Smile Zemi Kindergarten Course as it is easy to use and helps to support all the critical learning required as children in Kindergarten. Once again, Smile Zemi has done an exceptional job of providing a means by which kindergarteners can learn independently and be prepared for the challenges of kindergarten,” says Arianna McGuinness, a Kindergarten teacher at the Mountain Way School in Morris Plains, New Jersey.

Unlike traditional tablets, Smile Zemi is engineered exclusively for learning, eliminating access to video-sharing platforms, games, and social media to create a distraction-free experience. The platform’s smart design lets students advance or revisit lessons as needed, tailoring the pace to their individual learning styles and needs. With the new Kindergarten Course, the Smile Zemi curriculum now offers a seamless learning pathway from Kindergarten through Grade 5.

“Our Smile Zemi in-home learning system will be a welcome addition for parents of children entering Kindergarten, providing the tools important to allowing them to succeed during their first year of educational classroom learning,” Kyotaro Sekinada adds.

Smile Zemi will be exhibiting at the Homeschool Convention, which will be held in various parts of the United States from May.
