Educational policy / characteristics

Takarajima kindergarten has an original curriculum focusing on "play".
It is a kindergarten aiming to fully utilize the personality of each person and to fully develop their qualities.

"Treasure" of Takarajima kindergarten

In early childhood education, the important elements of personality formation are three different things:
"play", "encounter" with people, and "experiencing" together. Takarajima Kindergarten hides these three precious "treasures",
which will contribute to the building of the foundation for the happy life of children.

Children experience the basic concepts that form the basis of learning through play. Then, we will learn the joy of cooperating with people and making them, manners of collective living, rules of society. Play is an important learning opportunity for children and is the life itself of a child. Treasure Island Kindergarten is full of various mechanisms and ingenuity to maximize this "play".

The world is made up of people and people ties. "Encounter" with people is the first step towards connecting and is necessary for children to live a happy life. In different classes of age, children are free to interact with children of different ages in an open garden. In the activities outside kindergarten, encounters with adults and animals other than the kindergarten and the teacher will enhance the communication skills of the children and nurture the positive attitude in meeting places.

Experiences widen the vision of children and become the first step to the unknown world. A surprising fresh discovery, a memorable experience will continue to light up your children's lives brightly. Takarajima kindergarten has various original curriculums. Outside the kindergarten there are excursions to the sea and mountains by the outdoor activities eight times a year. Through tours of facilities such as museums, zoos, aquariums and museums, we provide children with opportunities for a variety of fun "experiences".

Open childcare

At Takarajima kindergarten, we regularly open gardens and garden buildings so that local children and parents
