Initiatives for Food Education
Focusing on the children's 'health' and 'interest in food,' our meals are planned by a registered dietitian and prepared in the preschool's kitchen. We use ingredients that are, whenever possible, 'domestic,' 'additive-free,' and 'unprocessed,' ensuring the meals are both safe and delicious.
We prioritize children's health and interest in food. Menus are planned by a registered dietitian and prepared in our on-site kitchen using domestic, additive-free, and unprocessed ingredients whenever possible.
A monthly food education class helps children explore ingredients through their senses, deepening their curiosity about food. We also collaborate with families to support balanced eating habits.

FAQ
- Can I visit the facility before enrollment?
- Visits are by reservation only.
Please select your preferred date and time from the reservation pageto make a booking.
- Is there a trial period before enrollment to help children adjust?
-
We recommend a 'gradual adjustment period' to help children adapt to their new daycare life. This usually lasts about a week after enrollment, during which we gradually increase daycare hours to help children naturally settle into their new environment. If, due to work or other circumstances, you are unable to follow the adjustment period, please consult with the child's teacher.

- Can the daycare administer medication?
- As a general rule, our facility does not administer medication. If medication is required during the day due to a chronic condition or other reasons, please consult with your child's doctor and submit a doctor's medication instruction form and prescription. We will then handle the matter individually.
- What is the procedure if a child contracts an infectious disease?

If a child contracts an infectious disease as per the School Health and Safety Act, please contact the daycare immediately. Additionally, the child is not permitted to attend until a doctor's note of permission is submitted.
For information on which infectious diseases require a doctor's note for return, please check here.
- What safety measures does the daycare implement?
- We follow the safety regulations of Tokyo and have implemented emergency measures accordingly. The entrance to the facility is monitored by electronic security systems and surveillance cameras through a security service provider, Sogo Security. As we take great care in looking after your precious children, all staff members are committed to ensuring immediate response to any danger, raising awareness and vigilance even during daily care.
