Futaba Kindergarten, which celebrated its 100th anniversary two years ago, has maintained ties with the local community while updating its facilities, including a dedicated building for three-year-old children. The school emphasizes both fostering resilience (“strong hearts”) and nurturing empathy (“kind feelings”) as it adapts its education to a changing society. Staff aim to balance respect for the kindergarten’s century-long history with new approaches to early childhood learning.
