Activity starts at 8:30 am.
Walking starts at 9:00 am.
While the sun is there, outdoor activities as much as possible.
Acquire strength to live through daily life, playing and labor not through special events.

Children, through 100 experiences not 10, learn to choose, think, act by themselves.
They walk long distance which helps them acquire not only physical strength but discovery capability as well.
They work in the fields, weed, catch bugs in the soil.
They clean up the dung of animals and clean the hut.
We cherish the time while the sun is there, everyday from 9:00 to 12:00 and from 15:00 till the sunset.

《For parents》
Morning activities such as floor wiping will start at 8:30, and walking start at 9:00. Please make sure that children can enter the nursery school before morning activities and before leaving for walking.

Annual schedule
of each nursery schoolDoronko annual

Doronko group childcare is not based on a passive attitude following a set schedule. Each childcare teacher thinks about how to let children experience “what they need to experience”, and proposes to parents and implements them. The annual schedule that incorporates each nursery school’s own plan is created in this way.

  • Please confirm the annual schedule from home page of each nursery school.
