The general manager of Beijing’s Qingmeng Group led a delegation of kindergarten directors from across China to visit the Azalee Group as part of an educational exchange program in Japan. The group observed classes at Edogawa Kindergarten, learned about intergenerational activities at A-cube, and attended a lecture on STEAM education presented by Nagisa Kindergarten Principal, Mihoko Chiba. Through this visit, participants exchanged ideas and discussed various approaches to early childhood education centered on STEAM learning.
One expert in early childhood education and Montessori studies, currently based in the United States, shared:
“This was my first time visiting kindergartens and daycare centers in Japan. In the past, I believed that early childhood education in Asia was somewhat behind that of the United States, but through this visit, that impression changed. I was impressed by the attention to children’s growth and the thoughtful approach to education I observed in Japan.
Seeing the interactions between children and older adults also left a deep impression on me. In those warm, intergenerational exchanges, I felt the essence of education as nurturing life and community.”
We are grateful for the opportunity to be part of this international exchange through education. Moving forward, we will continue to value our philosophy of “nurturing people through people,” and strive to keep learning and sharing ideas that help shape a better future for all children.
