Kindergarten
Preschool
is called kindergarten in Japan. Going
to kindergarten is not a rule but the majority of people send their children
for 1 to 3 years. In kindergarten 3,4,
and 5 year olds begin to learn to function as a group and help each other.
Children
learn that human fulfillment comes from close association with others. They go on many trips and picnics.
Children
usually don’t wear uniforms but they do wear the same color hat and backpack.
