About UsAbout Matsuyama Nursery School

To grow a tree to be big and strong, what do we need?
We believe that once the leaves and branches have grown out,
in order for them to be strong, we need the roots to grow deep underground.

The same thing applies to people as well.
By nurturing children's “roots” from infancy,
they will develop the strength and courage to face the “rain and winds” of life.

To achieve this, we place importance on actual experiences
such as playing with mud and interactions with nature into our daily nursery program.

Additionally, by spending loving time interacting with various people and things,
children cultivate a spirit of compassion and understanding towards others and themselves.

We strive to nurture the “Strength to Live.”
We are Yamayurikai, a Social Welfare Corporation.

Nature provides irreplaceable experiences that bring out the best in children.

The children here at Matsuyama spend their days lightly dressed and running around barefoot.
And through outdoor activities such as playing in the mud,
the children will be able to interact with the soil, water, and sun,
and feel the full effects of nature through their bodies.

Such rich time for play is what nurtures a strong and healthy mind and body.

A variety of interactions and exchanges will nurture a collaborative spirit and enrich a child’s self expression.

The older children will look after the younger ones,
as the younger ones will look up and imitate the older ones.
The children at Matsuyama Nursery School play with each other, regardless of age.
Additionally, they are actively involved with the local community, and have daily contact with plants and animals.

By interacting with things and people different from themselves, children learn to think and act independently,
which in turn nurtures their understanding towards others, and develops their spontaneity and individuality.

Parents, guardians, and our teachers are all working adults.
We can learn so much from each other.

Matsuyama Nursery Schools do not have a shuttle service.
This is because we believe in building a foundation of trust between parents/guardians and our teachers by meeting and talking every day in the morning and evening.
In order to detail our daily interactions, we have digitized our message and notification system to communicate, no matter how busy things get.

We place importance on daily communication on all topics and issues, no matter how small the inquiry may be.
