Doronko Nurture the Future

Change the childcare, change Japan.

Doronko group recruitmentRecruit

Nurturing children is about nurturing
the future of this country.
Change Japan from the field of nurturing
and developmental support.

Childcare support is no longer enough just to “keep them safe and secure”.
As written in the Childcare Guidelines, “support to develop the ability to think and act on their own” and “support to develop the ability to express what they want to do/what they expect to be done” are childcare support.
We who actually raise children, think about “powers and thinking” that children should acquire.We build the annual program pursuing the kind of experiences they need.
We will create a childcare industry where nurturers who make what is necessary from scratch are praised.

Together with those of you who share the thinking, we will change Japan from the scene of childcare and developmental support. We, Doronko will continue to challenge and run.

Doronko Manpower01Can we keep thinking and acting all times?

Our goal is to be the nursery school which does not just “keep our children safe”, but “nurture their children’s human power”.。
Moreover, we believe that it is “human being” that is indispensable. It is not enough to “love children” to be able to develop the “spirit to challenge whatever it is”. If adults who spend every day with them do not have the strength to live, they cannot develop their children’s ability to live.

Doronko Manpower02Can you make a proposal without blaming it on the environment?

Think “What is needed now?” seriously.
In Doronko, we take the children to the same shrine in spring and autumn for them to feel the season, plant a tree thick and capable of -to-break to climb and learn the height from which they can jump, breed living creatures to watch and learn life and death, and rent a field to learn to labor. “Having a good environment” does not necessarily mean “capable of providing good childcare”. A Doronko Person thinks deeply “How can we provide good childcare to children?” and tries many ways to achieve it.

Doronko Manpower03Can we nurture children by always being the example?

When we go planting rice, we get muddy. When we go to Sento(public bath), we get undressed first.
Interact with children from the bottom of the heart, and do it before explaining all the experiences in words. It is important to teach by showing example by ourselves.
Rather than adults (nursery teachers, etc.) who process experience activities and events, children follow adults who are seriously involved with them. We look forward to working with people “capable of moving the heart of children” not “capable of moving children”.

Unique program
to “grow in Doronko”

  • Doronko Training01
    growing in Doronko [Part 1]

    Staff-organised area study meetings
    “Childcare Skills Course”

    Area study meetings started with the initiative of nurturers taking “Be a nurturer with the strength to live”.
    Meetings are held at night or on Saturdays and Sundays in Sendai, Niigata, Kyushu, Tokyo, Yokohama, Saitama, Chiba, etc. The number of such meetings can exceed 100 times a year. At times, there may be more than 100 participants in a meeting. We, the Doronko, are proud of the strength of young nursery teachers who gather from different nursery schools for self-growth. This effort to acquire what one needs by one self is naturally much more fruitful than the mandatory trainings. Whether one can grow in Doronko, it’s up to oneself.

    Study abroad,
    “Internship in Denmark”

    This internship in Denmark is to learn from mobile nurture using bus, which started with the aim of improving the nurturers’ strength to live by themselves. Every morning, we meet at Copenhagen central station bus stop, and in the evening at the same bus stop parents will be waiting to pick up the children. The participants work as a nursery teacher for two weeks, playing in the snow garden, bonfires, and craftwork using tools at an inclusive nursery school that is 40 minutes from the front of the station taking the highway. Those staff members having applied and being selected for an annual in-house recruitment participate.
