Today, we spent time with a child who will be using the daycare for a short time...

For the older girl, it seemed like she had a different kind of way to have fun than usual because she was friends with other girls of the same age...

Usually, we would talk to them and mingle with them, but today it seems like we aren't visible to these kids...

That's right!　
After all, it's called a "girl party" while at the welcoming party...

Well, since they're talking so much,
there's no room for me...

This is just as good!

This is the "Ha" (Leaf) room...

There are three rooms at this Kodomoen: "Tane" (Seed), "Me" (Sprout), and "Ha"(Leaf)!
You can play in any room though...

However, since they usually spend a lot of time with just the boys...
They played in a different atmosphere than usual...

"This is how you do it..."
How kind of him (To show her)...

You're happy, aren't you?

Let's take a look the Tane room...

No, I feel like I'm being watched...
It's you!!

But the fact that you're peeking out from there means that you're "holding on" to something, right?

We are amazed at how much she has grown...
I'm sure we'll be able to witness some of her first milestones (steps, words, crawling etc) before her father and mother.

We are happy like their parents, we praise them like their parents, we communicate like their parents...
We share the excitement with their families...
We are attentive designers!

This is also about her brothers who are a little bit older...
It's reading time...
Each one looks at the picture carefully and turns the pages!

When each child has finished with an item...
We say, "Let's swap with a friend and read it,''...
They swap it with the friend next to, or across from them...
The relationship between friends swapping things changes them little by little with this method of exchanging things.

Once Obon is over, summer is over! What kind of people say this...
Some people say that if you watch TV 24 hours a day, summer is over!...

Summer isn't over yet!

Manabiya Yumenomori is a "forest of books". Is this what it's like to be surrounded by picture books?

Sometimes it’s only “me,” sometimes it’s with “you,” and sometimes it’s with “everyone.”

And just like that, lunch time was more lively than usual...

It feels like fireworks are blooming in everyone's hearts...
So the days continue here at Manabiya Yumenomori, the designers are careful not to let their fuses get damp!
