Elementary schools and kindergartens with a history of 150 years from Meiji 6 to 150 years in Chuo-ku
Public education was driving the times!
It is said to be Chuo-ku for education, but when the school system was issued in 1873, there were four schools in the third smallest ward in the 23rd ward, which were also the first school district-Sakamoto Elementary School, the second school-Hisamatsu Elementary School, the fourth school-Hisamatsu Elementary School, the sixth school-Ama Elementary School has also been opened. These elementary schools will celebrate their 150th anniversary in FY2022.
After that, each school will be opened one after another.
In Chuo-ku, from 1889, we will open kindergartens in elementary schools as soon as possible. It is wonderful that since the Meiji era, children and elementary school students have adopted the importance of continuity of learning, which they learn in the same school building. For more than 130 years, we have practiced the continuity of learning from early childhood education to elementary school, which is still important today. There are 12 gardens, except one garden, attached to the elementary school.
From the Meiji era to the Showa era, the principal of the elementary school also served as the principal. Since the beginning of Heisei, an independent director has been set up. At present, there are 12 elementary schools, except for 9 independent directors and 4 elementary school principals and 1 school principals.
The fact that there was no private kindergarten until then was a proof that Chuo-ku was pioneering in early childhood education since the Meiji era, and it was an unparalleled local government nationwide .
Early childhood education became established in Japan when the post-war school system changed to 633 system, early childhood education was positioned in the school basic law, and public establishment could not be established in time, so private kindergartens were added nationwide. Was.
The development of such educational history was amazed at the greatness and wonder of the regional power that the historical soil of Chuo-ku has always been advanced in education for children.
Initiatives for school and kindergarten education in Chuo-ku since the beginning of Reiwa
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) has changed the number of first-year students from 40 to 35 in 2021. This is because the educational effect of a small number of people was recognized. The class will be 35 students from 2nd grade to 6th grade.
In addition, early childhood education has been free from the age of three from October 2019, 2019.

What I want to make learning in play important in kindergarten education!
◎Do you think of learning in your favorite play as just playing?
Help in play
〇 Set the environment and time zone of your favorite play.
From the morning to today, it is important to be able to set up an environment where children can be excited at the first time in the morning and guarantee the time that they want to play from among the many kindergartens. You.
Elementary school is a 45-minute class for one hour, but infants need 90 minutes for their favorite play. Watching the children who are really interested in play will surprise you that 120 minutes can be light and beyond the duration.
What grows up in play
〇 You can have a desire to be interested in various types of play during your favorite play time. With a purpose, you can have the tenacity to achieve with the power to achieve together with your friends.
These are called "non-cognitive skills." It is said that if you learn this in childhood, you can have a sense of self-affirmation even if you become an adult in the future.
〇 Up to now, "cognitive skills" have been emphasized in early childhood education. It's so-called knowledgeable comprehension. These are important, but "non-cognitive ability" is one of the things I want you to learn in early childhood. If you have a feeling of cherishing self-love or love for others, you can become a key person who enriches the lives of yourself and those around you.

We support Chuo-ku who is seriously working on early childhood education!
4-year-old child "I'm crazy about playing the sandbox with water!" ]
"I learned all the wisdom needed for life in kindergarten sandboxes" (Kawade Bunko) Robert Fulgam's long-selling has caused a huge boom in parents, educators and adults raising children around the world.
Is there a sandbox in kindergarten? Even if there is a sandbox, do you have enough time to play in the sandbox?
Of course, the municipal kindergarten in Chuo-ku also has a sandbox, and there is an environment and time to play the sandbox.
Sand play is easy to develop play with free ideas, and contains many elements of growth and learning. Sand can easily transform its shape. Playing with sand makes yourself think about what to do and try or fail what you discover. If you fail, you can redo the sand as many times as you like. It is a series of trial and error that makes and breaks repeatedly.
If you work hard on what you are interested with excitement, and if it leads to success at least once, a fun experience will lead to a sense of success and fulfillment. It is important to build up the experience that was fun.
This does not mean that you should play in the sandbox alone, but represents the essence of childhood learning.
Kindergarten is not a preparation period for elementary school education. It is a place where you can take the first steps of learning the power to live and learn to acquire self-affirmation. To do so, you need an environment where you can find and solve problems yourself, assure you the time you can wait, rather than the ability to do what others have told you.
Kindergarten is the starting point of group life. By sharing these things with friends and empathizing with each other, you can enhance and stimulate each other to make play more fun. Kindergarten education is required to create a place, time, and environment where you can foster friendship as a person who can enhance each other by engaging in play with friends.
In Chuo-ku, it is wonderful to be able to receive education at the same facility for 9 years, including 3 years of kindergarten and 6 years of elementary school.
I think the children of Chuo-ku are very blessed.
As expected, the Chuo-ku of education
You can be proud of it.
