【Kodomoen】The school has its heart...now its excited...
Today, August 25th, is a memorable day…
The day when Manabiya Yumenomori finally get it's heart, and it has become excited. The children of the school raised their fists, and stepped forward, then exclaimed "Let's take a step from here!"
The day the children conceived their ambitions was now… That's right, on the birthday of the NEO "Manabiya Yumenomori" where we welcomed the children who play the main role!
We listened to the vice principal's words at the opening ceremony of the school.

If you think that "I want to try it" then "Just try it!"
Then, to make it even better, "Let's think about what we should do." And after thinking about it, "Let's try again." This persistence of "taking a step forward" is its own "step".
Footprints are only given to those who take the first step… if we look back, they will become each child's "career" and "story".
Of course, the Kodomoen of "Manabiya Yumenomori" that "step" continues.
The children who don't know this world yet go towards what they want to know, and what they want to do. If it doesn't work out well, they don't care. They find new tricks, and the fun in their play, and they can feel with all five senses from their experiences, even when they fail.
We want to cherish this!
What we always learn from the children is "braveness". When "braveness" accumulates, the children take a step towards what they "want to know" and "want to do".
As they grow, "braveness" isn't always necessary, and may not grow at the same speed. So, we found what we want to cherish here in the Kodomoen.
We want to preserve the "braveness", to encourage their growth in the future.
This is the "passing of the baton" that we can only do in Manabiya Yumenomori, from ages 0 to 15.
I was thinking about those thoughts while listening to the Vice Principals story, then we all raised our hands and all said "Let's take a step from here!"
Please have a look at the moment when the children put the heart into Manabiya Yumenomori!
Both the children, and the school are both alive, and both have hearts.
We are looking forward when the moment the schools, and the childrens hearts unite.
