Main purpose of the school

• This school aims to develop the body and mind of infants and to supplement their home education, and to provide a family-like and peaceful environment. We believe that the most important thing for the growth of young children is not to "be able to do" something, but to develop confidence and motivation in each child through the accumulation of daily childcare activities. Based on this idea, our educational policy is "childcare of the child, by the child, for the child", and our educational goal is "to think and act on one's own".
• The name "Futaba Yochuen" was given to the school in the same way that when a seed is planted and germinates, it produces two leaves, so that we can provide childcare that will help children become kind people who can cooperate hand in hand in their first group life after they are born. The name was given so that the child can become a kind person who can cooperate with others hand in hand in their first group life after birth.
