Business Areas

• Operation of indoor nature experiential education programs: We provide educational programs that enhance children's emotional and cognitive development by allowing them to touch soil and experience a forest in an indoor natural space. We create niche natural spaces for children under 9 to get close to nature and experience soil and forest.
• Self-cooking lab utilizing Jeju local food: In Jeju, we operate cooking classes where participants directly harvest fresh vegetables and make various dishes such as pasta or baked goods. Through the time spent tasting the dishes they made themselves, we help alleviate children's picky eating habits and foster balanced eating habits.
• Development of infant and toddler educational content and franchise business: Based on nature-friendly content education, we develop experiential educational content for infants and toddlers and are expanding our services nationwide through franchise business briefings. We create programs for sustainable development with seasonal ingredients and new content that change every 2-3 weeks.

Products

• Soil play and forest experience program: Through soil play activities where children interact with soil, it positively influences the enhancement of emotional intelligence, and they experience picky eating solutions by engaging with seasonal crops. It includes a process where children stimulate their five senses and cook independently using ingredients from nature that they have directly touched and experienced.
• Jeju Toto Atelier (Kids Cooking Class): This is a special cooking class in Aewol, Jeju, where children directly harvest fresh vegetables and make various dishes such as pasta or baked goods. It offers unforgettable memories with a free photography service by a professional artist and relaxation at a cafe after the experience.
• Jeju Toto House (Kids Pension): We operate a kids' pension on the fantastic island of Jeju, which can be used in conjunction with the kids' cooking class. We provide accommodation where children can have special experiences with nature.

Special Notes

• Korea's only real soil content company: We provide unique content where children directly touch and experience nature in an indoor educational setting composed of living soil and trees, not playground equipment or artificial toys. We offer children the opportunity to encounter real nature in an environment where they might not otherwise get to touch soil.
• Systematic customized education for infant and toddler development: Through a three-stage curriculum of getting familiar with soil, engaging with seasonal crops and activities in soil and forest, and cooking independently, we contribute to children's five senses development, picky eating improvement, and emotional intelligence enhancement. We provide essential learning during the most active period of brain development for children from age 3 until school entry.
• High customer satisfaction and re-visit rate: We have a strong customer base accumulated over 10 years, with applications selling out early for each session and fierce competition to secure remaining spots. We are a leading national brand in early childhood experiential education, boasting an annual re-visit rate of over 85%.
