About Saitama Toy Museum Kindergarten

Saitama Toy Museum Kindergarten is a private kindergarten centered on learning with wood, where children can experience wooden toys and a wide range of hands-on activities.

Operated by School Corporation Social Impact Gakuen, the kindergarten opens parts of its facilities to local children, families, kindergartens, and nursery schools as part of its community childcare support.

We also provide parent-and-child programs, Pre-K, open play spaces, and wood-learning activities by making parts of the kindergarten available to the community.

これにより、地域の皆さまが安心して子育てできる環境を提供し、交流を深める場として貢献していきます。

スローガン

“Play and art open the door to the future.”
Play & Art lead to Discovery and Well-being.

Core Philosophy

Thriving.
We value the vitality of every child and create days in which play and learning are one.

Educational Approach

Child-centered.
Starting with each child’s interests and questions, we turn play into exploration.

What We Value

Through authentic materials and meaningful conversation, we create daily opportunities for children to learn independently and grow with rich hearts.

We see families, local residents, teachers, and every adult involved in a child’s growth as partners, and we nurture that community together.

Our Vision

A new kind of learning place filled with art and joy.
Growing should be joyful and exciting. We create an environment where children naturally feel inspired to try.

A community learning place for inquiry-based early education.
We aim to be an inclusive kindergarten where children, families, and the community learn from one another and no one is left behind.

Three Abilities We Nurture

感じる： 木や自然素材、アートにふれ、五感をひらく。

つくる： 試行錯誤を楽しみ、探究心や創造力を育む。

つながる： 友だち・家族・地域・世界と関わり、互いを尊重する。
