We have “pointing communication sheets” to facilitate communication between staff/nursery teachers and children/parents who speak foreign languages (English/Spanish).
Drop-Off
Using an app, we record the child’s arrival. We welcome them in the morning while asking how they are doing. If early childcare is required before 8:30 due to work, please complete the necessary procedures at the nursery.
Fun playtime
We conduct childcare activities tailored to the child’s age and condition, such as free play and group play.
Lunch
We aim to expand children’s interest in food and make mealtime enjoyable.
Nap time
The purpose of nap time is to ensure that children can rest well in a safe environment. We make sure to prepare that environment in order for the children to get appropriate rest.
Snack time
Free play
Pick-Up
We inform the parents of how children spent the day. If childcare is required after 16:30, please complete the necessary procedures at the nursery.
We provide the same type of formula as at home. FWe provide baby food based on the age, development, and physical condition. And we adjust the content and amount while cooperating with the parents, since
there are individual differences.
We provide “elimination diet” or “substitute diet” for children with food allergies to remove allergens. If allergy elimination diet is necessary under the guidance of a doctor, please submit a “elimination diet confirmation sheet” after diagnosis. We make sure to take care of it depending on the situation.
We offer extended care for those parents whose pickup time may be delayed due to work or other circumstances. In our extended care program starting from 6 pm, we provide a light meal to alleviate hunger during dinner time and create a homely atmosphere. Prior to the start of extended care, we play the song “Tonari no Totoro ~ Osanpo ~” to signal the start of the program.
Class for children aged 1 to 5 years old.
