What flowers will tomorrow bring?
Forty years ago, back in the day when nursery schools were not valued as much as they are now, we planted seeds for infant daycare with a facility called Shinmatsudo Baby Home. Post-parental-leave and extended-hours childcare have become ingrained in our community as a necessity. Community welfare has gradually flourished, from privatizing the public Koganenishi Nursery to opening a private club for school children, thus realizing an integrated education environment. In recent years, we’ve also opened a new nursery in front of Kita-Kogane station to help resolve the problem of wait-listed children. The declining birthrate and aging population are just one example of how the environment surrounding our children changes daily. Based on the Christian spirit of love, we are committed to always being a place of support for child-rearing families and their children, and raising youth who can “accept others, listen to different values, and have their own voice.” We hope to share and enjoy together the difficulty and happiness of your precious parenting years.
