Features of the Preschool
Chuo Preschool integrates Buddhist values such as kindness, resilience, and curiosity into a modern, balanced curriculum. The educational approach covers intellectual, moral, physical, and nutritional development, nurturing children in an environment rich in tradition.
Children have the unique opportunity to experience kendo, a traditional Japanese martial art that builds focus, respect, and strength. Older students practice with bamboo swords while wearing authentic uniforms, and younger children participate by watching and cheering in the energetic atmosphere.
The preschool incorporates rich outdoor activities and local community events into daily life. Children engage in seasonal nature explorations like bamboo shoot digging in the mountains and playing by the Seto Inland Sea, while also connecting with locals through community festivals and sports days.
