Toyo Eiwa Yochien (kindergarten) was founded in 1914, and plays an important role for giving children (3-5 years-old) and their families a start in high quality educational programs that carry through all the way to the graduate school level. These also reflect the school motto, "Reverence and Service."
Philosophy of Toyo Eiwa Yochien
|
The philosophy of Toyo Eiwa Yochien is to support and guide every child to develop a sense of being loved, as well as loving and respecting others as a matter of course during their school life. To accomplish this philosophy, teachers and staff view every child as a gift from God. Therefore, they create activities for children to meet their individual needs and interests and carry out developmentally appropriate activities.
Being located in Roppongi, near the center of Tokyo, we often have scholars and students from overseas. Through a rich experience of interacting with international visitors, the children expand their views and knowledge about the world. Moreover, the international experiences help the children to become active/caring learners who give of themselves to the world through participating in a fund raising program for building schools in Bangladesh through the "gingko nuts project." The various kinds of programs foster children, their families, and teachers to build trusting relationships and to develop a sense of being disciples of God, loving others as God loves us.
