There are two types of preschool education institutions in Japan:
First of all, kindergarten is a part of the school education system, enrolling children aged 3-6, led by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. The other is a nursing home, which belongs to a welfare institution and recruits children from birth to 6 years old, and is led by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Japan's preschool education is very developed, but it is concentrated in cities, and there are few preschool education institutions in rural areas, and the fees are also expensive. The purpose of kindergarten education is to "protect children, provide an appropriate environment and promote their physical and mental development."
The content of kindergarten education is divided into six aspects: health, society, nature, language, music and painting, but it is not taught according to disciplines, but through practical activities and experiences, combined with the characteristics of young children. According to government regulations, kindergarten education can only receive specialized training equivalent to specialist level.
Japanese children can be sent to nurseries from the 57th day after birth until they go to primary school. The nursery opens at 7: 00 or 7: 30 and closes at 6: 00 or 6: 30, for a total of 1 1 hour. Most nurseries have a 1 hour delay service, which is 12 hours in total, which is convenient for parents to go to work.
If the mother suffers from domestic violence, the child should be taken care of by the nursery, so that the mother can relax and get rid of domestic violence, not to mention child abuse, and the child needs protection.
