This week we have a special two part series about being a parent in Japan and navigating the transitions for families when children enter school in Japan or move to a new level of schooling.
In this episode you will hear:
Considerations for choosing daycare or a kindergarten for your child
The secret side entrances to kindergartens!
How kindergarten can affect the start that kids have when they reach elementary school
The private school decision and what it's like attending a "prep school" for private elementary school
