I love how japan puts so much effort into children’s education/entertainment. Children need assistance in evolving their minds by being introduced to many different topics to discover new things. I love how they are taught about manners at an early age because it helps them mature into friendly and civilized people. I wish all schools worldwide rely on Japan as an example of how preschools should be.

[@ricardomurillo5205]

Americans and other western countries won the war but have trouble with focus and discipline, producing more and more unthankful spoiled individualistic kids that rarely clean after themselves.... They learn how to skip reponsibility and are quick to blame all their misfortunes on others like migrants and foreign countries (see Yaelra R. comment). The Japanese lost the war but they kept their discipline and organization. Maybe the Americans should have lost the war after all for the sake of their kids?

I personally think the way they treat the children and all the 'unwritten' rules & life progression for the children as you described them, really helps in formulates the sense of community and group mentality Japan is famous for. I wish other countries did this too.

[@azucs-athena]

I am currently working as a kindergarten teacher in Finland, and the day is pretty much the same as shown in the video, with slight differences. However, it is true many countries (like Spain, my home country) do not have kindergarten or pre-school operate like this... which is a shame, because having children learn basic routines, get good habits and be independent (while learning academical stuff) are strong assets for their future adult life in society. All I can say to defend my country's early childood education is that our kindergartens only work with children from 0 to almost 3 years old, cos then children from 3 to 6 years old start infant education at school, and they are at school only 5 hours a day (unlike Japan or Finland, where kids stay for around 8 hours or even more). Which means, some of these routines you see them do in the video HAVE to be 'trained' at home, rather than at school, because there is simply not enough time for everything.

[@ernest7241]

I think the songs and the dances are a bit over the top. I dont think i'd have liked singing and dancing before every activity

[@azucs-athena]

@@ernest7241 Yeah normally you would want a few songs for specific things (morning circle, cleaning up after playing, preparing to start an event, or for lunch also). But as I see it, in Japan they use music to reinforce everything they really want the children learn. As good as music can be for children to learn stuff, I also think it should not be overused haha. But music education since an early age can be great for children development.

I'm a Japanese nursery teacher. (using a translator.) We don't instruct you to clean up the chair. "When the chair is out, what happens to people who want to pass?" I ask the children.

Don’t use God’s Name in vain, Exodus 20:7 “Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.” Lord Jesus Christ is coming back everyone, please don’t worship celebrities and entertainment, focus on Him alone. I promise there’s more to life than money, partying, homosexuality and music. Hell is real, repent from sinning confess your sins and ask God to forgive you, I know He will if you’re sincere. Anyone who thinks the Name of Lord Jesus Christ is a joke, boldly mocks and scorns Him or takes pleasure in people who do is in for a big unpleasant surprise on judgement day IF they don’t repent and follow Lord Jesus Christ. Hell is very hot, people please repent! In the mighty name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏💪✝️💜❤️✝️! Idolatry such as, Islam, Catholicism, Sangomaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Santa Clausism, Confucianism, New Age, Science, Evolution, halloweenism, Harry Potterism, Politics, Donald Trumpism, Easter Bunnyism and other religions/faiths that are outside Biblical Christianity lead to hell! Don’t believe them, believe the Almighty God the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, who begot Him. Our Creator, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is mighty, He doesn’t need a woman to beget a son, He is God. I choose to put my faith in a God who can do anything and everything, a God who has unlimited and infinite power to beget! So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen. ✝️❤️

It’s so interesting and incredible to see the early childcare system in Japan. As an ECE teacher myself, most of the children I work with come from broken homes. A lot of the parents that we have are heavily associated with gangs and drugs. Because of this, our children have many troubles with their learning abilities and discipline which can cause my job to be a bit stressful at times. It saddens me when I think about these children going back home so I always have to remind myself to be the best teacher I can be for these kids despite the challenges that I might face. I genuinely love my job because I love making a difference in their life and even getting to know the parents. I will never agree with what these parents get up to in their homes, but they will have my respect and I have come to find that most of these parents are actually quite pleasant to talk to. It’s so lovely knowing that there are childcares like the one in the video where the children (and teachers) seem very happy and you can’t see an ounce of trauma in a child’s eye. I respect these teachers a lot and I respect all teachers that genuinely care for our children.

I.e the routines that make up their day and how to interact with people, to make friends and the rules around these friendships...how to behave in their environment. This Japanese centre seems very similar to how NZ preschools are (where I teach), we just have a more free play environment. Like what iyou see at the beginning of the clip, right down to the notebook system (I use this especially for infants and toddlers). Throughout the day, children are invited into activities of interest or to extend on prior learning from previous days and weeks. For example we would do inquiry based learning, where if a child or children showed an interest in something we would explore it in more depth, but it wouldn't be what the whole class would learn - unless they wanted to.

The difference between daycare here in America and Japan is amazing! I work at a daycare in America and it's so stressful, the kids don't do anything, they just make huge messes without helping to clean, they punch, kick, and bite their friends and teachers! They don't even show the teachers here any respect! The Japanese definitely raise their kids properly!

[@openotaku]

I work at one too! I have 12 kids (3-5) all to myself. I don't have co-workers with me. So it can get very stressful when kids are throwing tantrums and I can't leave the other kids. I can't separate them or put them in a different room because it's a one room daycare. I do it all alone, and I feel so scared sometimes that something bad will happen because I am only one person and cannot keep up. However, I have only been doing this for about 5 months, so I expect it will get easier with experience and time. My boss is very good with the kids and they listen to her well, I hope one day they will listen to me as well as they do to her.

I promise there’s more to life than money, partying, homosexuality and music. Hell is real, repent from sinning confess your sins and ask God to forgive you, I know He will if you’re sincere. Anyone who thinks the Name of Lord Jesus Christ is a joke, boldly mocks and scorns Him or takes pleasure in people who do is in for a big unpleasant surprise on judgement day IF they don’t repent and follow Lord Jesus Christ. Hell is very hot, people please repent! In the mighty name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏💪✝️💜❤️✝️! Idolatry such as, Islam, Catholicism, Sangomaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Santa Clausism, Confucianism, New Age, Science, Evolution, halloweenism, Harry Potterism, Politics, Donald Trumpism, Easter Bunnyism and other religions/faiths that are outside Biblical Christianity lead to hell! Don’t believe them, believe the Almighty God the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, who begot Him. Our Creator, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is mighty, He doesn’t need a woman to beget a son, He is God. I choose to put my faith in a God who can do anything and everything, a God who has unlimited and infinite power to beget! So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen. ✝️❤️

There is a prescribed range of school things that the kids could bring - flashy or branded items are not allowed. Most of all, vaccinations are required unless the child is medically unable to receive them. They can’t bring toys to school, wear or use expensive items, Or bring their own snack or dessert. I’m not sure all Americans would be receptive to letting go of some freedoms and independence.

Madison Rose Exactly. Classroom management starts with the educator's methods and strategies

[@sprinkles23659]

im from England and used to work in a day nursery for children, our routines are quite similar, especially food and nap time. I love how the children all have their own bedding which is cleaned at home, at ours we had to provide and wash bedding which means hours of washing and drying. I cant believe how well-behaved all the children are!

[@zhi0908]

The government there is so nice if you get COVID there they send you a care package while quarantine and the food looks nice and actually good and they even send cookies and sweets like that’s so nice of them

[@jul56760]

I absolutely agree! Sadly, all governments have the opportunity to do this but they choose not to. 😒

[@hannahuahh]

Right? Whereas in the US, it almost seems to me like kids grow up like weeds, without training or discipline, and they can yell, scream, throw tantrums, hit others, and it’s all “ok because they’re kids”. Kids are not taught to respect their elders and it shows.

[@AyanAli-py7ci]

Its because they don't accept immigration Its easy to maintain if its just your race

I've always admired how the Japanese educate their children. They learn about values from a very young age and become very independent. That's why they are very polite and smart! Ok. I know exactly WHERE I want my future children to grow!💙

My favorite thing about Japanese preschool (which is what i went to) is that it focuses more on socializing and creativity than math and reading. not that they don’t do math and stuff but it helped me learn how to get along with others and it was really good for me to let out energy through creative outlets. some of my favorite things we did was clay, crochet, and growing cherry tomatoes

Sherry, we love Japan and have been many times. It is the best country in the world, and fantastic people. But please go and live there for a few months, so you can decide if you can truly live there. It is very hard for us western people, the way Japanese people think and live is very different, would be very hard to adjust to it at an old age. I agree that if you want to move to Japan, you should go now.

[@chelseacyc3734]

All thee kids are sooo respectful, responsible and soooo cuteee omg

[@azryder2919]

Love the structrue and way they teach manners and responsibility

[@MissyChiyo]

And there you can see what children in Western Society are lacking: responsibility. It is the only way to truely teach children manners, cooperation and foster good habits. As a young teacher I am impressed by the mental growth of these children whilst my students (being in secondary education) must even be told to (and how to) clean up after themselfes. They are helpless in comparison to these children while being twice their age...

[@cfoster6804]

It's not that way in Montessori schools.

[@patronofdragons]

Depends on the school and what education model they follow. At the preschool I work at we teach the kids responsibility, empathy and respect. However, we don't follow the mainstream education model, so there's that.

[@starzzzy22]

It really depends on the teachers. When I taught in the US, I gave my little people tasks to do in my classroom from sweeping to wiping down tables and desks and they LOVED it! They would be arguing over who was going to do what! And don't get it twisted: I definitely saw my older Korean students barely do the tasks they were given and their Korean school had a cleaning lady. Kids are kids everywhere!

wow, I am working in a german kindergarden, there some of the parents come in......without even greet the teachers or say any kind of hello.....this is why japanese culture is so polite.....because they learn a high level of respect and behaving, and also that is why japan has such ideas, the best cars, and high technology.....because everyone is trained to work as hard as possible, and to always give their best. I have seen another docu about japaneses children travel by train all by themselfs at the age of 6 , 7 years old. They win so much security by themselves, that they know what to do next

It’s sucks that education in the US isn’t always a priority. My mom’s an elementary teacher and it seems like if the state doesn’t have money education is one of the first for budget cuts. Wish the system would change, this school is amazing!! It starts not only with the system but the parents as well! Watching my mom and me being an Educational Assistant, sometimes the parents can be very difficult and their kids are learning what the parents model.
