Yes. There are events such as the Obon Festival, sports day, and individual interviews. (It may differ slightly depending on the kindergarten.)

All school events are held on weekdays. We value everyday life, and want to create an opportunity for you to see your child as they normally are, while on weekends we want you to have time to rest your child and spend time with your family.

We go to nearby parks and squares. Depending on the age of the children, we decide the destination together and the walking course according to their development.

We actively engage in outdoor activities whenever the weather permits. Also, it's not that we can't do nature activities because we don't have a playground, but rather that we make sure to plan carefully and go outdoors precisely because we don't have a playground. Also, because we go to the park for outdoor activities, the distance we walk naturally increases and our physical strength improves.

Parents are responsible for getting ready in the morning. Depending on the grade level, children may have to do it themselves. We will let you know if this is the case.

We mainly serve Japanese food. We also aim to provide meals that everyone can eat (gluten-free, no eggs or wheat).

Although there are developmental standards, we consider them to be guidelines. Each child's development is different, so we would like to make progress together with each child while adapting to their needs. First of all, since this is the first time they will be away from home and eating in a group, we want them to enjoy eating.

Our childcare goal is to have a gentle face and kind words, so we think about others and value being proactive in reaching out to help them.
