To help connecting families with younger children, the ELC PTA hosts various events specifically for families at the Early Learning Center (ELC) in Roppongi, such as the Fall Family Festival, ELC Movie Fests, ELC Family Picnic and Literacy Parent Vignettes. In addition to ELC Events, there are also parent socials for ELC parents.

A cherished ELC tradition, Fall Family Festival and Bazaar is coming up on October 9. It's a day full of fun crafts and activities for the children. Families can also browse a bazaar of donated children's clothes and enjoy free shopping! ELC PTA will collect donations of "gently" used children's clothing for the Bazaar on October 7 & 8 in the ELC Lobby and during morning Car Line. Halloween costumes, ASIJ spirit wear, and seasonal items are welcome. We are also looking for some extra helping hands for the Bazaar. Please sign up to lend your hand! For questions, contact the ELC PTA Event Team elcdivisionevents@pta.asij.ac.jp.
