What a Japanese Childcare Centre is Like

In this episode, we visit Azalee Nursery School (Hoikuen) and take a tour of the childcare centre. In Canada, we'd probably call this a mix between a daycare and preschool.

*Japanese don't have exams during thier elementary days, they focus on learning moral and values that's why japanese people are so polite and well disciplined.*

The cameraman playing with the kids is too freaking adorable, I can't---

I'm a Japanese nursery teacher.
(using a translator.)
We don't instruct you to clean up the chair.
"When the chair is out, what happens to people who want to pass?" I ask the children.
And they think for themselves what to do.
If you force it, you won't learn it. You can learn it because you think on your own.

Naaw, I worked in several japanese nursery schools when I did a work and travel trough japan. It was so we'll organized and the kids were all very well behaved and adorable! When I left every class made me handcrafted gifts to remember them! And I still remember a lot of faces and names of my past kids :) It was a great time

They still can act like kids but also have respect and discipline... I love that

[joselynsharp]

My heart melted when they sang the school lunch song before eating. How wonderful that they're taught to appreciate food and those who made it. So impressive how behaved the children are and so responsible. And that diary that each kid has, which is used to record their day and for parents and teachers to send message to each other, what a brilliant idea. I totally totally love that.

These children are so polite and well mannered. I loved how children were grateful for food and eat healthy food without tantrums. This model of child care should be followed everywhere.

Japanese daycares hire nutritionists, meanwhile American schools are over here calling French fries a vegetable

I live in Tokyo and here they even accept foreigners’ kids
Same application system. No discrimination.
I think Japan has one of the most high qualified child care centers
They are called Hoikuen

Oh my god... I worked at a daycare in Louisiana and this is like, paradise. I'm tearing up.

One can easily realize how japanese children get discipline and responsibility since their early age. That is what makes Japan such a wonderful and unique country in the entire world .🇧🇷❤

Japanese schools: * hire nutritionists *
My school: You can still eat this bread, just cut the mold off

[STARSKY]

I love that the kids who lost didn't throw tantrums when they didn't get the apple, they smiled and maturely accepted it.

I’d love to raise my kids in Japan. They have a respectful, organized, & clean system. I love that music is thoroughly incorporated in their days-it’s all about having fun while learning.

[quanxiluverr]

They feed the children such good food! Definitely better than any food I've had in school and when I went to daycare! They are so cute and respectful I love this.

[ProphecyEU]

I personally think the way they treat the children and all the 'unwritten' rules & life progression for the children as you described them, really helps in formulates the sense of community and group mentality Japan is famous for.
I wish other countries did this too.

One thing I got from this, their laughter. No matter what language you speak, laughter is universal

[reannaclark]

As a military child, I spent most of my school years in japan as a DODEA student and every year we visited a "public" school/sister school that was Japanese and they would visit us. It wasnt until I got in to and actual american public school that I realized how truly lucky I was.

[internationallyME]

Cuteness overload!! And when you started jumping with the kids... ☺️👍🏼
