About "Takarajima kindergarten"

We wish children to travel with lots of fun memories in their hearts. With such a wish,
Takarajima kindergarten was made.
For children's growth and development, the environment is very important.
The school building and garden of Takarajima kindergarten were designed to prepare
the best environment for children. There are three basic design concepts.

① Fantasy is the "seed" of mind
The desire to cherish the world of children's fantasy is put in the name
"Takarajima" (Treasure Island).
As this name suggests, the school building and the entire garden are,
It is the world of one "dream".
Circular gardens, classrooms lined up in stairs,
Hole of stairwell, double helix slope, secret passageway, attic ...
This is the country of adventure of children's admiration "Neverland".

② Disabled space
There is no barrier for disabled children and young children.
Outside the entrance, from the hall to each classroom are connected by slopes.
We have a rich space in the space so that our children can spend their free time.
This slope is a passageway and at the same time it is a "cool playground" for children.

③ Space to live with nature
Humans can not live apart from nature. Nature raise children's mind richly,
Foster intelligence and sensibility.
There are small hills, forests and fields in kindergartens to make children feel like
"live with nature" to make themselves a sensible child.
