Our childcare

Childcare that connects with children’s heart and mind

It’s not about how an adult wants to raise a child, but how the child wants to be raised. To put this into practice, we carefully listen to children’s voice. We provide a place where both children and adults can live fully by accepting each other’s feelings and create opportunities for children of different ages and adults to interact. Both children and adults are treasured as we connect parents and teachers with the children in between.

Features of childcare

Features
It is important that we focus on how a child wants to be raised than how adults want to raise their children. This is a place both children and adults live together in harmony while listening to the children’s wants.

About the relationship with children
We make sure that we engage with children carefully by capturing their wants which are not necessarily expressed in language. For children who are four years old and older, we hold dialogue-based “meetings” where children can take initiative in designing their own daily activities.

Various festivals

Sports day
Moving our bodies allows us to free our souls, regardless of if you are a child or an adult. What takes place is not designed based on what adults think is best, but is planned based on the meeting dialogue from our four and five year olds.

small pond festival
This is a fun-filled day that takes place at our everyday location but provides a special time for children and adults to interact. The children, along with parents and our staff, collaborate to make this a delightful day.
