The video is a tour of a Japanese daycare, showcasing the daily activities and routines of the children and staff. The daycare, referred to as a Child Care Center, cares for children from ages 0 to 6. The most popular method of transportation is by bike due to the high land prices and dense population in Tokyo. Some schools provide their own buses, but this is not a universal practice.
Upon entering the school, parents sign in using an electronic system. The school also has a unique design with vibrant colors. The children are taught to take off their outdoor shoes and wear indoor ones when they enter the facility. The children are all ushered into the same room at first, regardless of their age. As more children arrive, they start separating into their respective classes.
The school day begins with free play activities, followed by craft time where children work with clay. The school also has a rock climbing wall and a big gym area for the children to play in. Music is an important part of the day, with teachers playing songs to prepare the children for the day and new activities. The children are also taught to play musical instruments, with each child owning their own melodica.
The school lunch facilities are designed by a nutritionist, with all the food made fresh and in-house. The food is prepared throughout the morning and served to the children by their teachers. As the children get older, they take on more responsibility for getting their food. The school also has a ritual around eating, with singing or a little speech before meals.
The day ends with nap time, followed by the older children clearing their tables and putting away their dishes in an orderly manner. The school doesn't have janitors, so the teachers are responsible for cleaning the bathrooms, floors, windows, and other areas that the children don't clean themselves. The children are also responsible for bringing home and cleaning their own sheets at the end of the week.
The video ends with a thank you to the parents and children for allowing the filming, and a request for support on Patreon to fund more videos like this.
