Families spending time at a café

Local Communications 01

We welcome parents to join in freely as well. Local childcare support program: Chicken-Egg / TSUMUGI CAFÉ established next to Doronko nursery school and children’s development support facilities.

We would like to see local families coming to play actively to our premises. This is how we named the activity translating the name of a popular Japanese meal Oyako-Don (Chicken and egg on the bowl of rice. Oyako=parents and children). Equipment vary but in each nursery school childcare support events are organized regularly. We invite you to check the schedule of the “Chicken Egg” events in the “Chicken Egg Dayori” issued on the first day every month. Also, the services at the child development support facilities “Development Support TSUMUGI” and TSUMUGI CAFEs in the child development support center are always available freely.

Kattekago (clothes donation box) placed in front nursery schools for the communication with local people.

Do come and leave the clothes you don’t wear anymore. Please feel free to pick any clothes you want. Unattended and free of charge flea market “Kattekago”. Actually, “Kattekago” in front of every nursery school’s entrance gate is an important tool to connect us to the local community.
