Nikkei Kindergarten

Problem / Need advice

We are senior moms and dads and look forward to your kind-hearted comments.

My daughter started summer school at Nikkei this summer.
She is 3 years old and this is her first time in kindergarten and she is very naughty, so on the first day she had to leave the classroom.
She looked very stressed about it and the teacher nailed me and told me to be sure to tell her at home. I know it was hard, but it was said in the same way as the first and second days. \I know she is tired and I know she is bothering my daughter 😞
but I am depressed because I wonder if this teacher will be okay and I am worried about sending my daughter there in the future.
I don't think she is a bad teacher, but when I go to pick her up, all she says is negative things again, that she is bothering my daughter, and that she is trying her best to teach her things at home, but it's not going well.
My father speaks English at home, so I usually do my best to teach her Japanese, but she still seems to have more difficulty communicating with me than with other children who speak only one language.

The teacher seems mature and very kind, but she says, "It was like this, so let's work together to get used to it while getting support at home again!" I am worried because it is not a positive feeling like that.
I felt so much annoyance that I couldn't stop crying after returning home. I'm worried about my daughter, who is just a rambunctious little thing, going to kindergarten, and I'm skeptical about leaving it in the hands of the teachers.
I heard that this kindergarten has had many problems, but my friends' children go there, and it didn't seem so bad when we visited, so it's even worse.
I know this sounds like I'm still a newbie, but have any of you had this experience?

Japanese preschools require children to be more neat and orderly than American preschools.

In the end, I think the most important thing is whether or not the child fits in with the preschool.
Also, even if you are strict and stressful to the parents, how about to the children ？
For example, when they tell you that you have messed with other children's food, you say, "I'll tell you at home too ！ ！ By the way, today at that time You could ask, "How did the teacher speak to our child ？?

Also, during summer school, the members, number of children, teachers, and contents are different from regular daycare.
It is very common for children to take summer school as a break-in period, and I wouldn't mind being told that the teachers are having a hard time, too.

So I feel that the mother herself is nervous about the unfamiliar environment and is more nervous.
But at the same time, as a mother, I would like her to keep her instincts in mind, such as "Is it really OK to leave my child here?

As a previous commenter wrote, it is different from Japanese kindergartens because of visa and qualification requirements.
But in terms of having your child make friends of the same age who can speak Japanese, I think a Japanese preschool is a very good environment.

I don't know the age of your child or the situation at that time, so I can't speak as a judge, but it seems that in kindergartens where the management uses intimidation to motivate the teachers, the teachers also think that intimidating the children is the way to educate them.
When choosing a kindergarten, I think you should consult your friends ・ and acquaintances, but I think it would be better to determine what makes a "good kindergarten" introduced by them "good" and whether they have the same standards as you.
I believe that it is becoming a common understanding in Japan that education in early childhood influences the rest of one's life.
Let's protect the children who will be our future ！.

Ego or not ？ it's definitely better than parents who don't have much interest. Don't you know that some people go to Japanese kindergarten but speak English at home ？ lol

Even if you speak Japanese in the U.S., it doesn't mean you can get a good job or anything, so you don't need to educate your children in Japanese.

If one parent is Japanese, it is still better to be able to speak Japanese.
I think it would be different enjoyment if you can speak Japanese with your grandparents, cousins, or when you go back to Japan temporarily.
In our family, we speak Japanese at home, so daily conversation is not a problem.
But reading and writing are at the first grade level.
I can read Hiragana and Katakana.
Since I can have daily conversation, I enjoy traveling with my Japanese family and going out to eat with them.
I think my daughters are permanent residents of the U.S., but I am glad that I can do just daily conversation.

That's right.
If you are poorly bilingual, you can be used for convenience. If you are an expatriate and know you are going back to your home country, but if you are an American here, proper English is a must. You can be president even if you don't speak Japanese, but you can't be president if you don't speak English.
If I write that, some people may say that they don't want to be president, but it's just an example.

Kids can learn to speak English even if they are left alone, and it is the family environment that determines the kid's character.

In addition, a kid's intelligence is inherited at the same level as his parents.

It is one thing to be able to speak, and another to speak, read and write proper English.
You know the extent of #83.
You know that a steeplechase produces a hawk ？.

I don't mean to criticize
but
it's not impossible for a steeplechase to produce a hawk
but it's low.
In general,
a child of a frog is a frog
a child grows up watching its parent's back.

Americans speak English even if they are idiots, but it's easy.

It's really difficult to use "the"! Since our internal communication is by e-mail, I send it thinking that I must be making mistakes that even I don't realize I'm making. No one ever points out my mistakes, but I feel self-conscious thinking that someone who is very particular about grammar might think I'm making a ？ mistake.
