- Information on Nursery Schools and Kindergartens
In Japan, pre-schooling institutions are available for all children. Nursery schools, kindergartens and “ninteikodomoen” (more information on ninteikodomoen can be found in the Frequently Asked Questions section of this packet) are available for all parents to leave their children in before they begin attending elementary school. There are important differences between nursery schools, kindergartens and “ninteikodomoen.” The institution that you choose to enroll your child into will depend on numerous factors, such as the age of your child, your household’s work and living situation, as well as your own personal preference in terms of what you want do regarding your child’s education. Below is listed the information contained within this packet about nursery schools, kindergartens and ninteikodomoen.
