Thoughts on Establishment

When I returned to Japan during my child rearing years, I felt the difference between Japanese and American education. I felt the difference between Japanese education and American education. Japanese education is passive, with children dancing and doing whatever the teacher tells them to do, but in the U.S. there is so much more free time for children to choose their own toys and play with them. Mori Kindergarten is a small-group kindergarten that incorporates the Montessori philosophy. We value independence and positivity and encourage children to work on their own, not as told by their teachers.

Education that values individuality
1. Children , Develop each child's individuality in a relaxed manner.
2. Develop independence through play and learning , by voluntarily choosing what they like.
3. Develop creativity through singing, drawing and dancing classes.

We aim to create a warm, family-like environment full of "smiles" and fun every day at our kindergarten. Please rest assured that even if it is your child's first time in a kindergarten or if your child is having trouble adjusting to group life, we will take gentle care of your child.

Parents' Comments

I was worried about adjusting to American life since I just came from Japan, but I was pleasantly surprised by the Setsubun ・ Hinamatsuri (Girls' Day) ・ and other Japanese events ・. Hinamatsuri Children's Day and other Japanese events There are so many activities that it is like a Japanese kindergarten. My child immediately adapted to it and now enjoys going there everyday.

My child has a quiet personality and I was worried if he would be able to get along in a group, but the teachers took good care of him, and he enjoys singing and ・ dancing everyday. I am now able to tackle things proactively with a cheerful expression.

I heard that American kindergartens serve hot dogs and pizza for lunch every day.

I was worried about my English because I was going to attend a local school when I started kinder, but my native English teacher taught me English happily and now I love English ! Thank you for your English teacher.

I was going to take a break from kindergarten due to the Corona disaster, but my child seemed to enjoy kindergarten very much and asked to go to kindergarten ! everyday. We were going to stay at home to see how he was doing, but he decided to go back to kindergarten. Even with the Corona disaster, the kindergarten had a small class size that was well supervised, so I felt safe.
