Today is Ohisama Nikko Niko!
Both nature, and the children are smiling!

We want to nurture children to be friendly with people of all ages, and especially ones in their own age group.
We want them to strengthen their relationships with children their own age to fully demonstrate their skills.

This is the designers desire.
We consulted with Tomioka's Niko Niko Kodomoen's Principal.
"Come on!"

The unforgettable tone of his voice was filled with kindness, and love for the children.
If Futaba becomes Japan's the early childhood education "Capital", Futaba's recovery will be swift.

We are sure the principal of Niko Niko Kodomoen must think so too.

So, let's take a bus to "Niko Niko Kodomoen" and play outside!

Unfamiliar environment, unfamiliar playground equipment…
They were very curious!
Each of them were immersed in playing, whether they made new friends or not…

Everything is so familiar to the children, the teachers don't even know where they are…

"Everything I Need To Know About Life I Learned In The Kindergarten Sandbox," Robert Fulgham.

Playing like this is something we want to cherish at Yumenomori.

It would be wonderful if they could play spread out in the round sandbox.
So far, many of the children have shown some of their talents in the sandbox.

Making ice cream, which was then sold in a store which they decorated with flowers, lunchboxes, and sand. They then made a waterway, which, the water spilled out of and flowed towards the mountains nearby. Playing creatively like this in the sandbox is the best!

The experience they got from interacting with Niko Niko Kodomoen will surely change the way they play at Yumenomori!

Through these regular exchanges, we grow bigger, bigger and bigger!!
