Nathanja Kempers Ikr, the way people should be raised is to appreciate things. My parents say when I don’t want the food ‘take it or starve.’ That tought me to appreciate things I have.
Exactly. Here in America, your taught to be a robot and follow orders and like and learn the same thing everyone else does.. Nobody can express their creativity. And then they make other countries out to be bad and under-developed smh.
@@ferrerorochelleee That's how I was raised. But according to the States, it's cold abuse. Pretty much teaching your child to respect others is called "abuse" because according to these nut jobs you have to earn a child's respect. The lot of these nut jobs need to have a wooden spoon smacked across their arms.
@Macaron Glitter i know how did Amrica get that Everywear else in the world Playing with and just enjoying the company of children is completly normal even if your a stranger
@Gayatri Sahu yup. I love children a lot but people think its creepy. I would never touch a child in a wrong way tho. Look im an only child and my great cousin is about to born in May so i never had any compassion around meh adults mostly
I personally think the way they treat the children and all the 'unwritten' rules & life progression for the children as you described them, really helps in formulates the sense of community and group mentality Japan is famous for. I wish other countries did this too.
I am currently working as a kindergarten teacher in Finland, and the day is pretty much the same as shown in the video, with slight differences. However, it is true many countries (like Spain, my home country) do not have kindergarten or pre-school operate like this... which is a shame, because having children learn basic routines, get good habits and be independent (while learning academical stuff) are strong assets for their future adult life in society. All I can say to defend my country's early childood education is that our kindergartens only work with children from 0 to almost 3 years old, cos then children from 3 to 6 years old start infant education at school, and they are at school only 5 hours a day (unlike Japan or Finland, where kids stay for around 8 hours or even more). Which means, some of these routines you see them do in the video HAVE to be 'trained' at home, rather than at school, because there is simply not enough time for everything.
@@ernest7241 Yeah normally you would want a few songs for specific things (morning circle, cleaning up after playing, preparing to start an event, or for lunch also). But as I see it, in Japan they use music to reinforce everything they really want the children learn. As good as music can be for children to learn stuff, I also think it should not be overused haha. But music education since an early age can be great for children development.
Group mentality in Japan? Doesn’t exist. Japan is one of the most ignorant societys I know, everyone is trying their hardest not to get involved with others.
I'm a Japanese nursery teacher. (using a translator.) We don't instruct you to clean up the chair. "When the chair is out, what happens to people who want to pass?" I ask the children. And they think for themselves what to do. If you force it, you won't learn it. You can learn it because you think on your own.
It’s a terrific way to teach. Similarly some of my teachers would ask me thought provoking questions rather than give me a direct answer to my question. It takes more time and requires more thought to teach this way but it reinforces the lessons better
I love how japan puts so much effort into children’s education/entertainment. Children need assistance in evolving their minds by being introduced to many different topics to discover new things. I love how they are taught about manners at an early age because it helps them mature into friendly and civilized people. I wish all schools worldwide rely on Japan as an example of how preschools should be.
Americans and other western countries won the war but have trouble with focus and discipline, producing more and more unthankful spoiled individualistic kids that rarely clean after themselves.... They learn how to skip reponsibility and are quick to blame all their misfortunes on others like migrants and foreign countries (see Yaelra R. comment). The Japanese lost the war but they kept their discipline and organization. Maybe the Americans should have lost the war after all for the sake of their kids?
@@yaelrar.4460 I'm not sure if that's supposed to be bait or if you genuinely believe that foreigners/liberalism are to blame for our lack of teaching manners in our schools. Either way, I'm sorry that that's what you believe and I hope you have a nice day
Well, this is the norm, but there will be some kids who hate losing. They don’t throw tantrums though. They just cry in their seats. I was a teacher in elementary schools and I’ve seen it many times.
I live in Tokyo and here they even accept foreigners’ kids Same application system. No discrimination. I think Japan has one of the most high qualified child care centers They are called Hoikuen
do you know how to speak japanese and english? that’s so impressing! i’m now trying to learn japanese myself because i’m wanting to go to japan some day! :D
kaley :DD , I used to work with Chinese kids and one didn’t know any English within a month she started saying “no” and laughing when she was saying it. They hear their peers speak English it’s so cool to see and hear the progression in the English language while maintaining their native tongue.
My heart melted when they sang the school lunch song before eating. How wonderful that they're taught to appreciate food and those who made it. So impressive how behaved the children are and so responsible. And that diary that each kid has, which is used to record their day and for parents and teachers to send message to each other, what a brilliant idea. I totally totally love that.
Me too, I actually know the school lunch song, I found it in a playlist of Japanese nursery rhymes. Its called Obento (bento is box lunch) and it is really sweet 🙏🏾
Don’t use God’s Name in vain, Exodus 20:7 “Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.” Lord Jesus Christ is coming back everyone, please don’t worship celebrities and entertainment, focus on Him alone. I promise there’s more to life than money, partying, homosexuality and music. Hell is real, repent from sinning confess your sins and ask God to forgive you, I know He will if you’re sincere. Anyone who thinks the Name of Lord Jesus Christ is a joke, boldly mocks and scorns Him or takes pleasure in people who do is in for a big unpleasant surprise on judgement day IF they don’t repent and follow Lord Jesus Christ. Hell is very hot, people please repent! In the mighty name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏💪✝️💜❤️✝️! Idolatry such as, Islam, Catholicism, Sangomaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Santa Clausism, Confucianism, New Age, Science, Evolution, halloweenism, Harry Potterism, Politics, Donald Trumpism, Easter Bunnyism and other religions/faiths that are outside Biblical Christianity lead to hell! Don’t believe them, believe the Almighty God the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, who begot Him. Our Creator, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is mighty, He doesn’t need a woman to beget a son, He is God. I choose to put my faith in a God who can do anything and everything, a God who has unlimited and infinite power to beget! So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen. ✝️❤️
I mean, to me, that would get boring. Singing 1-2 times every single day before eating? Just don't feel right. Also, remember how many manners, etiquettes and unwritten rules Japan has, not even adults can remember them all. And then combine that with a ton of work hours, stressful jobs, sexual harrassement on trains, and you got yourself the worst possible mental breakdown of your life. While Japan exceeds in MANY things around the world, just know that they have equally as many issues than it may seem...🇯🇵😍💀
*Japanese don't have exams during thier elementary days, they focus on learning moral and values that's why japanese people are so polite and well disciplined.*
Yeah, that’s super important. If you can’t teach respect and that you should automatically show respect to those that are older and in authority, you won’t get anywhere. My teenage sister who’s 15 constantly gives me an attitude, especially if I ask her to do something or want to do something my way instead of hers. She really tells me “you did nothing for me to respect you” even though when she was younger, and I was in high school, I always cooked, did the dishes, made sure their homework was done, did cleaning and even ironing for 2 hours sometime. Now that I’m going to school full time and working full time so that we could buy a bigger house, she’s told me “You’re not my sister.” I’m kinda concerned about this generation.
I like the fact that lunch is prepared fresh and is a healthy and wholesome choice. Then school is clean and well organized. The kids are taught and trained to be respectful right from young age.
Fear and deference and being polite are not respect. Respect can only be earned. If someone is not respected it means they have failed to earn that respect. It comes naturally when a worthy person interacts with children.
kids are taught respect at home, the school doesn’t teach them to remove their shoes but their parents do. also about the food, imagine making fresh natural healthy food for thousands of kids a day, not really possible.
These children are so polite and well mannered. I loved how children were grateful for food and eat healthy food without tantrums. This model of child care should be followed everywhere.
Middle Eastern countries sent their education ministry staff to study the apanese educational system esp The Day Care System. Singapore, South Korea and China following the Japanese educational system esp The Day Care system. That s where children gets the start of their life to becoming a a good citizen
I like how they aren’t forced to be quiet with their hands behind their back when they transition.... they can hop and make a little noise, but obviously not be disruptive.
As a Japanese girl who lives in America, I miss my Japanese preschool/ kindergarten. My Japanese teacher was full of kindness, supportive and excitement. Meanwhile, in America, most of my teachers choose favorites or sometimes bully students who are weak, struggling in school, or can't speak English. I love love my friends who were there for me. It's just teacher is very arrogant. (edit: This is just my personal experience. Everyone is different)
"most of my teacher choose favorites or sometimes bully students" of course, there's like this raging idiot on my class who like did a kick in my stomach like 4-6 months ago. Everyone plays with him and talk to him. I'm just alone, doing nothing.
A lot do in the older schools but, preschool teachers were required at my school to treat every kid like their own or they could easily be fired. The school I'm at has it really good, and its a pubic school. I'm sorry.
I know, even the kids are better than my classmates. They're polite, sweet, clean after themselves, keep in an orderly fashion. I can't imagine somewhere better to be.
That rock paper scissors game for the last apple was great, and the attitude of the kids are great too. like that one kid who knew he didn't need to play anymore cause the last apple just got taken so he just walks away. its amazing how that kid didn't throw a tantrum or something.
Once I used to work at an elementary school in Japan (as an English teacher), they still use the same game to decide who gets the surplus food. However when I just started the job I didn't know the rule, so I just gave one girl an extra carton of milk thinking it wasn't a big deal. However some students saw this and it caused a huge quarrel ending up with some students in tears !!! Ooops !!!!
Those are the oldest kids in the centre & have no doubt been there since 6 months old or so. Not at all unusual to not have tantrums in that setting, at least in Australia & I'm sure most places. First week in the room with the youngest kids would be a VERY different story! Even just the tantrums the kids throw when told they have to sit at a table to eat & eat the food they're served! But peer group pressure wins out over time & they learn what's expected (while still refusing to eat identical food at home/throwing tantrums if they don't get extras etc)
I’d love to raise my kids in Japan. They have a respectful, organized, & clean system. I love that music is thoroughly incorporated in their days-it’s all about having fun while learning.
It’s a very homogeneous society that would NOT be accepting of you or your foreign children(as they shouldn’t be). If you are American keep you and your bad kids right in America where they belong
I work in a German nursery school. We can only dream about this level of respect. It starts with parents telling their kids they don't have to listen to a word we say. I get so sad when I see how things could also be. We have two Japanese families and it's a whole different story with them. Grateful, kind and respectful in every way. The Japanese are amazing.
I don't think you where in much german Nursery schools. I mean i live in Berlin and there are many of them wich have nearly the same concept. Of course there is an Difference. But You just have to find the right place.
I'm sorry your experience is so bad, I married a German and I'm currently living in Germany and sending my kid to daycare (Kita) and my kid knows very well I demand his respect towards his teachers. It's a matter of adapting to the rules of the environment you are in. That you are able to sit on the table at home does not mean you are able to at school. Hes a good kid but he knows I talk frequently about his behavior towards his teachers haha but you're right certain kids tend to be a little more disrespectful... Unfortunately
@@VibiineNot everyone is Christian, you can’t tell someone not to use you’re gods name in vain and expect it to work (sorry if this comes across as rude).
If I were allowed to be with them, I'd most probably be jumping just like they did! Being with kids is a privilege, but for themselves to allow you to play and have fun with them is always a blessing.
At early age they are taught to be fair, accepts defeat and not be spoiled ❤ Like how they kindly accept the fact that they lost to rock paper scissors and will not get the remaining desserts 😊 Most children will cry if they don't get what they want. I love that way of teaching kids the right attitude
cutelittlerottengirl I totally agree. I see many 1st graders from different countries that still need help buttoning their coat or putting on their shoes. Heck, I know a 10 year old that doesn’t know how to tie her shoes! These kids are taught to be self sufficient and mature, which i think is a very important part of a child’s development.
Shadowz_Playz_Pianoz-- The lacking self-help skills could represent fine motor delays. And honestly, I was just thinking that tying shoelaces may soon be as obsolete as mastering the use of a buttonhook. With velcro, who needs to mess with the hassle of shoestrings that come untied?
Joann Richardson at least it's better than Mexico. Kids in public school here fall into drugs, or don't even have energy to play because of malnutrition..
They feed the children such good food! Definitely better than any food I've had in school and when I went to daycare! They are so cute and respectful I love this.
One can easily realize how japanese children get discipline and responsibility since their early age. That is what makes Japan such a wonderful and unique country in the entire world .🇧🇷❤
I think it becomes too much when they’re older. They have hours and hours of homework and tons of tests way more than most areas at the world. then they’re not going to have time for after school activities. So much academics that I think it’s total overload and everything becomes about school.
Why I love Asian cultures is because everyone is so polite, schools in America have loud kids that like to talk all day and don’t respect the stressed teachers.
@@ChronicallyCassidy I guess it’s Chinese public school. They have tons of homework. I’m Japanese, and I have a high school student girl. Homework were always finished within 1 hour. And it’s not everyday. After school club activities are very popular in Japanese schools.
I wouldn't jump to conclusions about that. Japanese children are definitely respectful and disciplined but at the cost of expressing emotion. Japan's terrible depression and suicide rates speak to this.
@@rosepetal6345 it isn't a subjective connection I'm making, it is backed up by research. We know what kind of societal factors lie behind Japan's appalling suicide statistics. Children of 3 and 4 years old are too young to be expected to behave perfectly - meltdowns and tantrums are a normal developmental phase for children at this age. It is normal for them to make noise and occasionally behave poorly. It would not be acceptable in this preschool, apparently, or in wider Japanese society and that is a concern.
@@rosepetal6345 Being a kid there would be fine, but working there is terrible and connects to the suicide rate. Also the kids have a lot of pressure on them put from the parents (I know not every parent is like this but most of them are) and you can't really be yourself.
@@vanderbam2741 I think the suicide rate main factor are most of the adult society in japan. In this video i don't see any of the children are not happy
Japanese are taught mannerism at very young age, during meal@ lunch break thanking for food,helpers instilled generally without involving religion. Hardly we can see Japanese waste food / use handphone while consuming their food regardless the country resided. No gadgets / TV / iPad in daycare... Awesome.... I can't say about this in my own family as my parents will say they're " OLDER Generation"......
Chiquita Dave Can u imagine Japan as the leading company in technology & inovations is avoiding the usage of laptops/ gadgets in daycares? Use ur brain little
Aw I think these children are so lovely. They are respectful and kind to each other and the teachers. This kind of attitude is essential for a good school and home life. I really like the way they clean up after themselves too. That teaches respect and that is what is needed in western schools right now. I hope that our schools will take "a page out of these schools book" and apply it to the schools here in England. What a lovely video.
It’s so interesting and incredible to see the early childcare system in Japan. As an ECE teacher myself, most of the children I work with come from broken homes. A lot of the parents that we have are heavily associated with gangs and drugs. Because of this, our children have many troubles with their learning abilities and discipline which can cause my job to be a bit stressful at times. It saddens me when I think about these children going back home so I always have to remind myself to be the best teacher I can be for these kids despite the challenges that I might face. I genuinely love my job because I love making a difference in their life and even getting to know the parents. I will never agree with what these parents get up to in their homes, but they will have my respect and I have come to find that most of these parents are actually quite pleasant to talk to. It’s so lovely knowing that there are childcares like the one in the video where the children (and teachers) seem very happy and you can’t see an ounce of trauma in a child’s eye. I respect these teachers a lot and I respect all teachers that genuinely care for our children. Each early childhood centre of each community will face different challenges, but we all have the same job. ありがとう for this video and for anybody reading this ️🌸
Thank you for doing that job! My sons started a new daycare two months ago. They used to be in a daycare with kids with no problem, across the street from the MIT. Most parents worked at the MIT and around. We now moved away from Boston area. Some kids in their new daycare are in the exact situation you are describing and talking with my oldest son’s teacher (pre-k), she is facing the same issues with some of the kids there. Issues at home and the kids being violent at school due to these issues. It breaks my heart to know some kids are not born with the same chances as others. And the job the teachers do during the day, when the kids are with them is tremendously important. It gives them stability, which is all they need to grow. Keep doing what you are doing. You have one of the most important job out there! Taking care of the future ❤️
I'm a Japanese Language Student (have been for around 10 years), this video came in my recommendations today and melt my heart! My mother is a lead teacher at an American daycare and I'm going to share this with her.
Think it is a fun unbiased way for them to hand out extra food. Plus the game teaches them to learn to read/understand peoples thought process instead of relying on luck from "random" choices.
Straight away noticed. Same here in UK, kids impossible, screaming all day long, soooo noisy in nurseries. I think the reason is the children are not busy enough when in this Japan's nursery they get busy every minute.
Candace Mung Bro, don’t be rude. Just because she is American doesn’t mean she can’t do something that Japanese. It’s like saying a Japanese person can’t do American 3D animation.
This is so adorable. I love the emphasis on forming good habits like community, good nutrition, and manners. It's such a wholesome and dynamic environment where music and instruments are integrated into their school day. I also like that the entire facility is shrunk down to child size and throughout the day they sing.
The children are also very calm (not bad tempered) if you look closely at the apple slice rock paper scissors game, the boy who was behind the kid that won just walked away without whining how he didn't get an apple slice!
This is a learned behaviour though. I teach preschool, and it is teaching children to share, take turns to learn to respect themselves and others, to listen and be kind. Children learn the expectations of their teachers and the ''culture'' of a childcare centre. I.e the routines that make up their day and how to interact with people, to make friends and the rules around these friendships...how to behave in their environment. This Japanese centre seems very similar to how NZ preschools are (where I teach), we just have a more free play environment. Like what iyou see at the beginning of the clip, right down to the notebook system (I use this especially for infants and toddlers). Throughout the day, children are invited into activities of interest or to extend on prior learning from previous days and weeks. For example we would do inquiry based learning, where if a child or children showed an interest in something we would explore it in more depth, but it wouldn't be what the whole class would learn - unless they wanted to.
@@chiplobay6126 well...the apple didn't fall far from the tree, sue happy people typically are overly entitled and end up teaching their kids that throwing a fuss will get you what you want.
Hermione Granger The screens you see in the first 40 seconds. 'Upon entering the school, parents sign in. This facility has an electronic sign in system.'
Meh, these children are a little over-disciplined for my taste. There's a little too much standing in lines and following the direct orders of the teacher. Kids need lots of free play time, that's when they can actually explore their interests, build social skills, and become self directed learners.
The difference between daycare here in America and Japan is amazing! I work at a daycare in America and it's so stressful, the kids don't do anything, they just make huge messes without helping to clean, they punch, kick, and bite their friends and teachers! They don't even show the teachers here any respect! The Japanese definitely raise their kids properly!
I work at one too! I have 12 kids (3-5) all to myself. I don't have co-workers with me. So it can get very stressful when kids are throwing tantrums and I can't leave the other kids. I can't separate them or put them in a different room because it's a one room daycare. I do it all alone, and I feel so scared sometimes that something bad will happen because I am only one person and cannot keep up. However, I have only been doing this for about 5 months, so I expect it will get easier with experience and time. My boss is very good with the kids and they listen to her well, I hope one day they will listen to me as well as they do to her.
You said you worked in America? I wonder which state, because for preschool aged children ratio should be 1 teacher to 10 kids. I live in Illinois and that's state requirements. Having all those kids to yourself must be difficult! Keep at it! If you establish a routine with them, they can learn to help you with tasks (i.e cleaning up after themselves and helping each other out).
I smiled at the girl picking her nose while singing about how clean her hands were. This video make me want to be a small child in that nursery school. Just wonderful! And why do we adults stop using bright colors? They make us so happy, after all! Thank you for this video. It was a marvelous discovery.
Naaw, I worked in several japanese nursery schools when I did a work and travel trough japan. It was so we'll organized and the kids were all very well behaved and adorable! When I left every class made me handcrafted gifts to remember them! And I still remember a lot of faces and names of my past kids :) It was a great time
I remember this one time I went for a foster child programme in Japan and the organiser brought the participants to a Japanese school. It was similar like this but the kids are older. I can't remember if it's an elementary or middle school. But we did some activities and crafts together and at the end of the visit, the kids gave each of us the handcrafted item we made together as a souvenir. Such a fond memory.

Never seen so many adorable, responsible kids in my life. U.S. really needs to adopt some of these methods like having everyone take off their shoes before entering schools, washing and cleaning up after themselves, learning different crafts and the teachers should eat the same healthy foods to stay fit and awake while they teach.
I work in daycare around Detroit. I want to cry watching this. This system in Japan is so beautiful. I can only dream to one day provide this for my work babies, but sometimes it feels like I'm one of the only ones in the field who cares. It's heartbreaking.
@@myujokt733 Depends on where you go and live, I'm a preschool teacher in Massachusetts and I would say our school system is pretty good but then again, we rank the highest state in education. We don't focus as much on etiquette as they did in this video but it's really making me replan some classroom rules.
Yes! I am Scottish but I was adopted into a Japanese household, and if you have money and time to get your kids enrolled it truly is a great experience for the kids. 💕
I work at an American Catholic day care and it's similar. But then again, I live in a very heavily Republican area so of course the schools and day care centers are much better off and more disciplined.
Can you briefly list down major differences? I'm interested to know! I'm doing research on children's education at the moment for my animation company. We are getting into 3D animation series for children
@@juliaj7939 wonder how many children have been abused by the priest and gets sweep under the rug because no accountability like a good republican area.
Japanese schools are so impressive and the children are amazing. Their techniques and philosophy of education are top of the line. Americans can learn a lot from them. I love how orderly everything is. I love how the children are responsible for their own belongings.
@@mollymay4846 Truth. Has a woman who works in daycare for more than 15 years, I couldn't agree more. Sadly that's the raw truth. I see a lot of kids that came from other countries being put aside and having hard time socializing with natives. Maybe a older kid would had more capacity to deal with that, "maybe". I would love to work in a Japanese daycare one day. Hope I will have that lucky opportunity; but I have enough experience to say that education cames from people, not places, so we don't need to move to other countries to provide a good education to our children, just look for different tips of schools you may have in your area, city or country. I'm European by the way and the schools (public) here are pretty good 😌🇵🇹🇪🇺
Wow the difference is sad. I work at pre schools and they are nothing like this. They can’t go to the bathroom without us watching them- nor can they wash their own hands without starting to play with the soap. Make a cat out of clay? Nope they can’t even press down hard enough to make a heart out of the stamper thing. They are served horrible food that a lot of children don’t even eat. And we clean it up most of the time. I know they showed the best parts of the day. But even so... our best times are nothing like anything shown in the video. They are polite, quick and efficient and nobody cried when they didn’t win the Apple slice.
emily s well said. Just always remember to not feel too bad, Japan is definitely one of the most developed countries in the world. They truly care about raising their kids well. This isn’t even the “best times”, this is really the A typical for these kids. I grew up part time in Japan. While in maybe America, there’s seriously a lack in child development in SOME areas. Wish it was all the same for all the precious kids everywhere but hey, to each their own.
You’re running your classroom incorrectly, then. I work at a primrose preschool and my kids are SO clever, independent, and kind, because that is how we expect them to act in the classroom.
This is soo cute, the camera man is playing with the kids, and why are all the children way better at playing the instruments and sculpting the clay?!??!??!???🥺🥺🥺♥️♥️♥️
Another reason why I miss Japan. Had the pleasure of living in Okinawa for some time. My son went to a Japanese preschool and I’ve never had any complaints. I sure do miss the culture and the schools. If I could, I would stay there forever.
I lived there 3 years and loved it. I worked in a daycare on the air base and keep insisting to my husband the kids were better behaved there and it was a better curriculum. I think the higher ups got ideas from the daycares out in town. Also there were a few local Japanese who worked there as well, one had been a kindergarten teacher.
I think there are many things in Japanese kindergartens that some American parents might not like. For example, about twice a year, parents also help clean the school and school grounds with the kids. There’s an activity, meeting or event almost every month that parents need to attend. There is a prescribed range of school things that the kids could bring - flashy or branded items are not allowed. Most of all, vaccinations are required unless the child is medically unable to receive them. They can’t bring toys to school, wear or use expensive items, Or bring their own snack or dessert. I’m not sure all Americans would be receptive to letting go of some freedoms and independence.
cecilia torres I doubt they’d like the food choice either “My kid is vegetarian!” “Mine’s vegan!” “Mine’s dairy free!” All with out medical reasoning. No, Karen, your kid isn’t vegan or dairy free. They’re a toddler and they need a range of food.
Montessori schools are like this. I've seen one first-hand. Unfortunately though, only the priviledged wealth have this resource. Which is ironic, considering the founder of montessori schools had invented this method of teaching to give poor kids a future. Yet the most vulnerable group are the ones who still receive the lowest quality of education.
This is so lovely and cute! Its easy to tell all the little ones are learning a lot. I wish all the children in the world would have this kind of opportunities.
給食の歌、まだこれ歌ってるの？！ わー、懐かしくてビックリしました。 60年代生まれのわたしが保育園児のときも歌ってましたよ、全く同じメロディーで。 歌詞は「お弁と お弁と 嬉しいな 何でも食べましょ よく噛んで みんな揃ってご挨拶 お父さん お母さん ありがとうございます いただきます」でしたよ。 School lunch songs, are they still singing this one? ! Wow, I was surprised at how nostalgic I am. I was born in the 60's and sang the exact same melody when I was in preschool. The lyrics are "O-bento, o-bento, I'm so happy, let's eat everything, chew well, we all greet each other together, Thank you, father and mother"

The government there is so nice if you get COVID there they send you a care package while quarantine and the food looks nice and actually good and they even send cookies and sweets like that’s so nice of them
Right? Whereas in the US, it almost seems to me like kids grow up like weeds, without training or discipline, and they can yell, scream, throw tantrums, hit others, and it’s all “ok because they’re kids”. Kids are not taught to respect their elders and it shows.
@@hannahuahh i feel like it’s getting better though. the new generations of parents seem to be educating their kids while they’re little on good morals, ethicality and even mindfulness
I have some good news and bad news for you They’re are a shortage of preschool teachers and you can definitely be one But they don’t get paid a lot unfortunately
I had that thought then decided that I don't speak japanese and don't really want to talk to the kids I love how orderly and organized everything is And the kids have very good energy and I would want to be around that but not more than I want that system and being the one who made it that way There's so much less fighting if they're not afraid of stepping on rice or not having any good crayons/ pencils/ clay left
Athena Beatriz it's usually the education system and all of their schools that's better. You know, since the United States spends most of their money on the gosh darn MILITARY 😭
having attended two years at a public Japanese high school there are a lot of drawbacks to the Japanese system. In general I've found on the surface Japan looks good but once you dig deeper, as with anything, there are some serious fundamental issues.
And there you can see what children in Western Society are lacking: responsibility. It is the only way to truely teach children manners, cooperation and foster good habits. As a young teacher I am impressed by the mental growth of these children whilst my students (being in secondary education) must even be told to (and how to) clean up after themselfes. They are helpless in comparison to these children while being twice their age...
Depends on the school and what education model they follow. At the preschool I work at we teach the kids responsibility, empathy and respect. However, we don't follow the mainstream education model, so there's that.
It really depends on the teachers. When I taught in the US, I gave my little people tasks to do in my classroom from sweeping to wiping down tables and desks and they LOVED it! They would be arguing over who was going to do what! And don't get it twisted: I definitely saw my older Korean students barely do the tasks they were given and their Korean school had a cleaning lady. Kids are kids everywhere!
I don’t think you can put all western people in one box! I’m from Germany and our kindergardens here are pretty much the same as the one in this video🤷🏻♀️
Everytime when lunch is finished there's always rubbish on the floor and people don't put their rubbish in the bin they just throw it on the floor without a care in the world
My school: looks like jail Their School: looks like playland Edit: Thx for the likes guys!!! I’ve never had 1k before! Another edit: Yeah I realized that it was a daycare 😅
Different school treatment mainly depends on age and their “school” is a daycare so it isnt even classified as a school since barely any education is being taught, its simply more like a big babysitting program
@Two Face Not really. Home always Trumps school. Home is where values are taught. If education isn't stressed at home, it won't be accepted by the child. If strong family structure isn't stressed in the home, it won't be accepted as normal or wanted by that child in the future. This is why the ghettos and lower end neighborhoods are multi generational. If you want to see how most kids will end up, either their family structure, values, education, income level, etc, just look at their parents.
You have to start somewhere. Obviously, it's much easier to change a school rather than every single parent. Changing the American system would take time, that is several generations. The first of the generations goes to this new school, with the hope that they learn better values to raise their kids and then have their kids go to this school.
@@fauxpas4589 Once again, values are not taught at school, but reinforced. If the values aren't there to begin with you are spinning your wheels. A great example is in the US public school system and where the largest amount of cash is usually sunk into schools, the worse the outcome of student achievement. This doesn't prove that the more money one puts into a school system, the better the results. What it does do is reveal where the family does not place value on education. If we are going to start somewhere, let's start where it's actually going to work and not just waste everyone's time. In those struggling areas, let's push for bringing back a strong nuclear family and really push to bring those that lead those families into the education process.
I've always admired how the Japanese educate their children. They learn about values from a very young age and become very independent. That's why they are very polite and smart! Ok. I know exactly WHERE I want my future children to grow!💙
I might move to Japan. In my adulthood. And yes, I would love my future kids to grow up here. There’s also a lot of other reasons why I would move. Prices, jobs, society, etc.
Wow! This is every childcare teachers dream! I work with 2-3 yr olds (14 of them). And it is a everyday struggle I feel like quitting all the time. My students are so disrespectful to me and my assistant. Also mean to each other. No matter how much we redirect them and show them love. They destroy everything new that we get in the classroom. They scream at us, spit at us, punch at us, tell us to shut up and tune out everything we say. And they are only 2-3. Its so frustrating. Then there are parents that complain about the smallest of things like muddy shoes. But don't understand how HARD it is to be a early childhood educator. Not to mention all the thousands of state rules and regulations. 3 steps just to clean one table (I have 6 tables in my room) and you have to clean them after each segment (example. Transitioning from play time to lunch time) *sigh* Wash your hands before and after EVERYTHING (example. Before putting the children lunch on the table and after) its ridiculousness. My skin is so dry from washing my hands that they are sore and peeling I am 24 and my hands look 60. That's just the beginning. And we don't get paid enough for what we do. It is so frustrating and overrated. I am burnt out .
I look after under 2s and can tell that most never get told no at home as they have such a tantrum when we tell them. There is just so much that is different in the way of respect and boundaries that children in Japan get taught from a young age that all children need to be taught. I'm 27 and my hands are currently cracking and bleeding from over washing and every year they get worse. I have also unfortunately seen all of the behaviour that you have experienced as been working in nursery settings for just over 8 years and haven't always been with the under 2s. Also completely agree with not being paid enough for what we all do. Also long hours and lack of respect from some parents who seem to think we can spend all of our time with just their child even though there are multiple other children in the room.
I hear you. In some areas the children are off the chain. This is why I brought pre school to my home. I'm an in home family child care and I run my program of 14 children very similar to this video.
You may want to invest in lotion bars, many are made for and by nurses that also have to wash their hands many times a day, are safe, approved and some antibacterial as well. I used one when I worked daycare, it saved my hands. Also consider having your own small private daycare with just a few kids, you would make more money and be better able to control activities and have a closer relationship with the parents. Meaning then you guys can really talk and compare notes and be on the same track. Private childcare has been so much more rewarding for me than working for a boss. Childcare isn't business to me, it is grooming the future. I am considering to start my own small private daycare while getting certified for elementary school education.. so I can keep my small group together for longer and truly explore their potential instead of sending them into the machine.
America aux now. Thia givernment has failed us by us disciplining our children we get in trouble but at the same time the army disciplines them. So contradicting🤦
I just turned 23 four days ago, and I still will not eat onions, bell peppers, cauliflower, green olives, pickles, liver, jalapenos, raw tomatoes by themselves, and broccoli if it is covered in cheese. (It's a texture thing.)
Hannah they have learnt pretty fast that complaining about the food, or being picky or throwing a tantrum won‘t help. Everyone eats the same, teachers included.
It is mostly because education at home. If their parents teach them to not pick any food even if they don't like it it will be habit . So try to teach your child to not pick any kind of food and be grateful to have food . I , myself unfortunately can't eat 2-3 foods (I feel like thro even if I force myself. I tried to get over it)but other than that I eat every foot if it is edible to respect it. Thanks for my parents
@Cheesecake For Life Lol back in high school I brought or ate in Cafetria. My stomach got pissed lol. I wished to just wait until getting home. In college now, just go across street to Quickly's.
My favorite thing about Japanese preschool (which is what i went to) is that it focuses more on socializing and creativity than math and reading. not that they don’t do math and stuff but it helped me learn how to get along with others and it was really good for me to let out energy through creative outlets. some of my favorite things we did was clay, crochet, and growing cherry tomatoes
@@kimovoorbraak that's a very generalized statement. All cities have dirtier air naturally. Japan has some of the cleanest air albeit. I think you're lumping all of asia into being like Beijing for some reason
I think that the standard for dealing with contagious illnesses is the same in Japan as in the US- keep a child home until they're cleared to return or at least until 24 hours after a fever breaks. I suspect that the masks are more to protect airways from air pollution, which is common in densely populated areas and can make respiratory illnesses like asthma worse. They can also be worn as a precaution.
im from England and used to work in a day nursery for children, our routines are quite similar, especially food and nap time. I love how the children all have their own bedding which is cleaned at home, at ours we had to provide and wash bedding which means hours of washing and drying. I cant believe how well-behaved all the children are!
“when kids make a mess, they have to clean it up by themselves, although they can get a helpful hand from a teacher” these kids are cleaning up after themselves better than most adults can
Generally schools in America tend to have lower budgets, thats why school lunches are so “bad” and also their kids so at a very young age you’ll be taught to say thank you to quite literally everything that is given to you. You have to take in account that these are younger kids and not middle schoolers or high schoolers which is going through puberty and other difficulties in life
baby girl not all america schools or daycare centers are like that,and if a kid says something sucks they are being raised with no home training or respect.
This is also the reason why I wanted to be a nursery/daycare teacher despite of taking a business course hahaha. I hope I can have a daycare center instead in the future 😂
Its hard. I used to work at one. Its very similar here but the food these kids got is better and they were more organized, behaved, and independent than the kids in US. We baby kids way too much!
I loved Japan and the Japanese people and culture. I am from Michigan US. I promised myself I would retire there. I am a nurse and practicing my Japanese language. Love, hugs and panda kisses.
Sherry, we love Japan and have been many times. It is the best country in the world, and fantastic people. But please go and live there for a few months, so you can decide if you can truly live there. It is very hard for us western people, the way Japanese people think and live is very different, would be very hard to adjust to it at an old age. I agree that if you want to move to Japan, you should go now.
wow, I am working in a german kindergarden, there some of the parents come in......without even greet the teachers or say any kind of hello.....this is why japanese culture is so polite.....because they learn a high level of respect and behaving, and also that is why japan has such ideas, the best cars, and high technology.....because everyone is trained to work as hard as possible, and to always give their best. I have seen another docu about japaneses children travel by train all by themselfs at the age of 6 , 7 years old. They win so much security by themselves, that they know what to do next
Don't germans go to school by themselves too? At least I and all my friends did. But that was 13 yrs ago. Nowadays more and more are accompanied by their parents probably. (I also took the train at age 6)

They still can act like kids but also have respect and discipline... I love that
Nathanja Kempers Ikr, the way people should be raised is to appreciate things. My parents say when I don’t want the food ‘take it or starve.’ That tought me to appreciate things I have.
Exactly. Here in America, your taught to be a robot and follow orders and like and learn the same thing everyone else does.. Nobody can express their creativity. And then they make other countries out to be bad and under-developed smh.
Ya know what when I’m an adult imma move to Japan cuz I’d rather my kids go to a school there then here in the U.S
@@ferrerorochelleee That's how I was raised. But according to the States, it's cold abuse.
Pretty much teaching your child to respect others is called "abuse" because according to these nut jobs you have to earn a child's respect.
The lot of these nut jobs need to have a wooden spoon smacked across their arms.
America could neverrr

@Gayatri Sahu yup. I love children a lot but people think its creepy. I would never touch a child in a wrong way tho. Look im an only child and my great cousin is about to born in May so i never had any compassion around meh adults mostly
@@fairyjuggalo8368 NICE PROFILE PICTURE ILY
I personally think the way they treat the children and all the 'unwritten' rules & life progression for the children as you described them, really helps in formulates the sense of community and group mentality Japan is famous for.
I wish other countries did this too.
I am currently working as a kindergarten teacher in Finland, and the day is pretty much the same as shown in the video, with slight differences. However, it is true many countries (like Spain, my home country) do not have kindergarten or pre-school operate like this... which is a shame, because having children learn basic routines, get good habits and be independent (while learning academical stuff) are strong assets for their future adult life in society.
All I can say to defend my country's early childood education is that our kindergartens only work with children from 0 to almost 3 years old, cos then children from 3 to 6 years old start infant education at school, and they are at school only 5 hours a day (unlike Japan or Finland, where kids stay for around 8 hours or even more). Which means, some of these routines you see them do in the video HAVE to be 'trained' at home, rather than at school, because there is simply not enough time for everything.
I think the songs and the dances are a bit over the top. I dont think i'd have liked singing and dancing before every activity
@@ernest7241 Yeah normally you would want a few songs for specific things (morning circle, cleaning up after playing, preparing to start an event, or for lunch also). But as I see it, in Japan they use music to reinforce everything they really want the children learn. As good as music can be for children to learn stuff, I also think it should not be overused haha. But music education since an early age can be great for children development.
A lot of other countries do this too the only different thing is they'll probably become xenophobes
Group mentality in Japan? Doesn’t exist. Japan is one of the most ignorant societys I know, everyone is trying their hardest not to get involved with others.
I'm a Japanese nursery teacher.
(using a translator.)
We don't instruct you to clean up the chair.
"When the chair is out, what happens to people who want to pass?" I ask the children.
And they think for themselves what to do.
If you force it, you won't learn it. You can learn it because you think on your own.

That's wonderful 🔥🔥🙏🏿🙏🏿
So good to teach them to think about others needs and not just their own. We need so much more of this taught in America. I love Japan🥰
That sounds wonderful
It’s a terrific way to teach. Similarly some of my teachers would ask me thought provoking questions rather than give me a direct answer to my question. It takes more time and requires more thought to teach this way but it reinforces the lessons better
I love how japan puts so much effort into children’s education/entertainment. Children need assistance in evolving their minds by being introduced to many different topics to discover new things. I love how they are taught about manners at an early age because it helps them mature into friendly and civilized people. I wish all schools worldwide rely on Japan as an example of how preschools should be.
Americans and other western countries won the war but have trouble with focus and discipline, producing more and more unthankful spoiled individualistic kids that rarely clean after themselves.... They learn how to skip reponsibility and are quick to blame all their misfortunes on others like migrants and foreign countries (see Yaelra R. comment). The Japanese lost the war but they kept their discipline and organization. Maybe the Americans should have lost the war after all for the sake of their kids?
@@yaelrar.4460 I'm not sure if that's supposed to be bait or if you genuinely believe that foreigners/liberalism are to blame for our lack of teaching manners in our schools. Either way, I'm sorry that that's what you believe and I hope you have a nice day

Yeah not like this snowflake society now “everyone is a winner” .. good god
It’s being taught manners and respect for others, it’s their society, not their maturity levels.
That's what u call emotional discipline
@@molliel.9486 ok
Well, this is the norm, but there will be some kids who hate losing. They don’t throw tantrums though. They just cry in their seats. I was a teacher in elementary schools and I’ve seen it many times.
I live in Tokyo and here they even accept foreigners’ kids
Same application system. No discrimination.
I think Japan has one of the most high qualified child care centers
They are called Hoikuen
How many people speak English and Japanese just a question
The main language is Japanese. They try to communicate much. But generally everybody in Japan speaks mostly Japanese.
do you know how to speak japanese and english? that’s so impressing! i’m now trying to learn japanese myself because i’m wanting to go to japan some day! :D
I do manage to speak Japanese enough to get around.
kaley :DD , I used to work with Chinese kids and one didn’t know any English within a month she started saying “no” and laughing when she was saying it. They hear their peers speak English it’s so cool to see and hear the progression in the English language while maintaining their native tongue.
My heart melted when they sang the school lunch song before eating. How wonderful that they're taught to appreciate food and those who made it. So impressive how behaved the children are and so responsible. And that diary that each kid has, which is used to record their day and for parents and teachers to send message to each other, what a brilliant idea. I totally totally love that.
Me too, I actually know the school lunch song, I found it in a playlist of Japanese nursery rhymes. Its called Obento (bento is box lunch) and it is really sweet 🙏🏾
Don’t use God’s Name in vain, Exodus 20:7
“Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.”
Lord Jesus Christ is coming back everyone, please don’t worship celebrities and entertainment, focus on Him alone. I promise there’s more to life than money, partying, homosexuality and music. Hell is real, repent from sinning confess your sins and ask God to forgive you, I know He will if you’re sincere. Anyone who thinks the Name of Lord Jesus Christ is a joke, boldly mocks and scorns Him or takes pleasure in people who do is in for a big unpleasant surprise on judgement day IF they don’t repent and follow Lord Jesus Christ. Hell is very hot, people please repent! In the mighty name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏💪✝️💜❤️✝️!
Idolatry such as, Islam, Catholicism, Sangomaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Santa Clausism, Confucianism, New Age, Science, Evolution, halloweenism, Harry Potterism, Politics, Donald Trumpism, Easter Bunnyism and other religions/faiths that are outside Biblical Christianity lead to hell! Don’t believe them, believe the Almighty God the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, who begot Him. Our Creator, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is mighty, He doesn’t need a woman to beget a son, He is God. I choose to put my faith in a God who can do anything and everything, a God who has unlimited and infinite power to beget!
So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen. ✝️❤️
So cute . Men heart melted too
I mean, to me, that would get boring. Singing 1-2 times every single day before eating? Just don't feel right. Also, remember how many manners, etiquettes and unwritten rules Japan has, not even adults can remember them all. And then combine that with a ton of work hours, stressful jobs, sexual harrassement on trains, and you got yourself the worst possible mental breakdown of your life.
While Japan exceeds in MANY things around the world, just know that they have equally as many issues than it may seem...🇯🇵😍💀
Yes I really wholeheartedly enjoyed that singing and kinda laughing a bit along the text part. It was a joy to watch this.
*Japanese don't have exams during thier elementary days, they focus on learning moral and values that's why japanese people are so polite and well disciplined.*
Wow really?
Yeah, that’s super important. If you can’t teach respect and that you should automatically show respect to those that are older and in authority, you won’t get anywhere. My teenage sister who’s 15 constantly gives me an attitude, especially if I ask her to do something or want to do something my way instead of hers. She really tells me “you did nothing for me to respect you” even though when she was younger, and I was in high school, I always cooked, did the dishes, made sure their homework was done, did cleaning and even ironing for 2 hours sometime. Now that I’m going to school full time and working full time so that we could buy a bigger house, she’s told me “You’re not my sister.” I’m kinda concerned about this generation.
And… not stressed out… they’re very mindful and relaxed, and in the moment
@@hannahuahh think you have to worry bout your sister more than the generation mate
Yeahh it’s nice but high school is where things start getting stressful for them.

I like the fact that lunch is prepared fresh and is a healthy and wholesome choice. Then school is clean and well organized. The kids are taught and trained to be respectful right from young age.
Children cannot be taught to be respectful. They become respectful by being themselves respected.
Mike Mondano Kids can be taught to be respectful especially in Asia. They're told to not disobey elders from very young age.
Fear and deference and being polite are not respect. Respect can only be earned. If someone is not respected it means they have failed to earn that respect. It comes naturally when a worthy person interacts with children.
kids are taught respect at home, the school doesn’t teach them to remove their shoes but their parents do. also about the food, imagine making fresh natural healthy food for thousands of kids a day, not really possible.
Why do you say not possible when it is clearly shown in the video that they do just that?
These children are so polite and well mannered. I loved how children were grateful for food and eat healthy food without tantrums. This model of child care should be followed everywhere.
This is very standard line in Japan. We want to know a chaid center or a kinder garden in USA or other country.
Middle Eastern countries sent their education ministry staff to study the apanese educational system esp The Day Care System. Singapore, South Korea and China following the Japanese educational system esp The Day Care system. That s where children gets the start of their life to becoming a a good citizen

As a Japanese girl who lives in America, I miss my Japanese preschool/ kindergarten. My Japanese teacher was full of kindness, supportive and excitement. Meanwhile, in America, most of my teachers choose favorites or sometimes bully students who are weak, struggling in school, or can't speak English. I love love my friends who were there for me. It's just teacher is very arrogant.
(edit: This is just my personal experience. Everyone is different)

@@oki1985 They are very nice people, except to the whales and dolphins!
Serena Lau every country has people who aren’t nice. But generally, it’s safe to say the Japanese has the best manners and respect for other.
"most of my teacher choose favorites or sometimes bully students"
of course, there's like this raging idiot on my class who like did a kick in my stomach like 4-6 months ago. Everyone plays with him and talk to him. I'm just alone, doing nothing.
A lot do in the older schools but, preschool teachers were required at my school to treat every kid like their own or they could easily be fired. The school I'm at has it really good, and its a pubic school. I'm sorry.
This feels like paradise. Like a safe haven, with an environment perfect for engaging in creativity.
I see you literally everywhere!!!
Needs More Flash!!! Can I please live here
I know, even the kids are better than my classmates. They're polite, sweet, clean after themselves, keep in an orderly fashion. I can't imagine somewhere better to be.
That rock paper scissors game for the last apple was great, and the attitude of the kids are great too. like that one kid who knew he didn't need to play anymore cause the last apple just got taken so he just walks away. its amazing how that kid didn't throw a tantrum or something.
Once I used to work at an elementary school in Japan (as an English teacher), they still use the same game to decide who gets the surplus food. However when I just started the job I didn't know the rule, so I just gave one girl an extra carton of milk thinking it wasn't a big deal. However some students saw this and it caused a huge quarrel ending up with some students in tears !!! Ooops !!!!
Jennifer Jocson; HI,This rule combines equality with early arrangement. Children learn rights and obligations.
Jennifer Jocson I was thinking the same . Usually kids would have a fit
Those are the oldest kids in the centre & have no doubt been there since 6 months old or so. Not at all unusual to not have tantrums in that setting, at least in Australia & I'm sure most places. First week in the room with the youngest kids would be a VERY different story!
Even just the tantrums the kids throw when told they have to sit at a table to eat & eat the food they're served! But peer group pressure wins out over time & they learn what's expected (while still refusing to eat identical food at home/throwing tantrums if they don't get extras etc)
in most asian homes, that's not the case...
I’d love to raise my kids in Japan. They have a respectful, organized, & clean system. I love that music is thoroughly incorporated in their days-it’s all about having fun while learning.
japan is only cool if ur rich
It’s a very homogeneous society that would NOT be accepting of you or your foreign children(as they shouldn’t be). If you are American keep you and your bad kids right in America where they belong
I work in a German nursery school. We can only dream about this level of respect. It starts with parents telling their kids they don't have to listen to a word we say. I get so sad when I see how things could also be. We have two Japanese families and it's a whole different story with them. Grateful, kind and respectful in every way. The Japanese are amazing.
That surprises me!

How I say I eat compared to how I actually eat
Kori Chan and give us square pizza smh

Bro I hate it when I'm eating a bread roll and then I find a random hair in it. Lmao
You guys are getting food from school?!?!
So can I still join this school even though I’m in High School?
🤣

Cuteness overload!! And when you started jumping with the kids... awwwww ☺️👍🏼
Exactly !! And the laughter on the little girl's face when he did it was just priceless ! :D
internationally ME I'm laying down and so wanted to jump with them. :)
I just want to hug all of them at once, they are too cute! 😄
oh mah gawd
lel
If I were allowed to be with them, I'd most probably be jumping just like they did! Being with kids is a privilege, but for themselves to allow you to play and have fun with them is always a blessing.
At early age they are taught to be fair, accepts defeat and not be spoiled ❤
Like how they kindly accept the fact that they lost to rock paper scissors and will not get the remaining desserts 😊
Most children will cry if they don't get what they want.
I love that way of teaching kids the right attitude
cutelittlerottengirl I totally agree. I see many 1st graders from different countries that still need help buttoning their coat or putting on their shoes. Heck, I know a 10 year old that doesn’t know how to tie her shoes! These kids are taught to be self sufficient and mature, which i think is a very important part of a child’s development.
It’s by far the best system ever . No wonder , the Japanese is such a advance society . Wish Canada was any where as good as this
Shadowz_Playz_Pianoz-- The lacking self-help skills could represent fine motor delays. And honestly, I was just thinking that tying shoelaces may soon be as obsolete as mastering the use of a buttonhook. With velcro, who needs to mess with the hassle of shoestrings that come untied?
Joann Richardson at least it's better than Mexico. Kids in public school here fall into drugs, or don't even have energy to play because of malnutrition..
I don't think that's fair though...
11:56 I'm so touched the way how the kid with eye glasses smiles and go away after he saw the other boy win 😭💖
Aki My cousin punched a kid in his day care because he didn’t get the last gummy pack 😂
@@heraaaa3864 haha that's cute too 😆
Also it's an apple
Not candy or ice cream
@Aj Jj I used to hit kids back when they hit me in preschool, the teachers never noticed what those kids were doing until I did.
It may be ✨anxiety✨ though. 😭Man, I’m worried for a random kid now. The pure ones tend to get their hearts broken.
They feed the children such good food! Definitely better than any food I've had in school and when I went to daycare! They are so cute and respectful I love this.
You remember what you ate in daycare? Wow, I can't remember what I ate last week!
@@typhaeon7959 I could never forget the taste, not a good memory though!
The food the children eat in the video it is cultural, the children expect it because they most likely eat that way at home.
That's why Japanese are so respectful and highly educated and intelligent.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✊🏿
Good thing theirs Some human beings like that in the world.
yes true
Don’t know if I’m so intelligent but I was definitely taught discipline
I wish every country was like this
Cries in southeast asian countries where every kids can't read and yet they are the one being keyboard warrior as such a young age 😭😭😭😭
Japanese Nursery: Five-course meal for every single kid for lunch.
American High school: Single corndog and 5 french fries for lunch.
* Old,hard, and red corn dogs
*Cold frostbitten French fries
School: Here take this pizza
Students: this is cardboard though...
School: and?
@Alex Rocha Sounds like my school
In my school we bring our own lunches:3 in india
Can’t forget the toxic apples
The teachers job seems to be really demanding. Respect for all the daycare teachers
One can easily realize how japanese children get discipline and responsibility since their early age. That is what makes Japan such a wonderful and unique country in the entire world .🇧🇷❤
I think it becomes too much when they’re older. They have hours and hours of homework and tons of tests way more than most areas at the world. then they’re not going to have time for after school activities. So much academics that I think it’s total overload and everything becomes about school.
Why I love Asian cultures is because everyone is so polite, schools in America have loud kids that like to talk all day and don’t respect the stressed teachers.
@@ChronicallyCassidy
I guess it’s Chinese public school. They have tons of homework.
I’m Japanese, and I have a high school student girl. Homework were always finished within 1 hour. And it’s not everyday. After school club activities are very popular in Japanese schools.
@@ChronicallyCassidy 韓国と中国とは確かにそうです。日本だけ、ゆっくりで、日本に来た韓国人や中国人はびっくりしています。どちらが良いかわかりませんが、夜中まで勉強させているのは日本人ではないですよ。
Those kids are more mature than the 5th graders in my grade
Edit: oh my gosh I’ve never had 1.4k likes before, tysm!
Jackie Lee Sams
Im past 5th grade and im in middle school, but I can relate ;-;
100% agree
Relatable 😐
Right!
Well behaved, respectful children with clear boundaries and expectations = happy children. We need to get back to this for our children’s sakes.
I wouldn't jump to conclusions about that. Japanese children are definitely respectful and disciplined but at the cost of expressing emotion. Japan's terrible depression and suicide rates speak to this.
@@rosepetal6345 it isn't a subjective connection I'm making, it is backed up by research. We know what kind of societal factors lie behind Japan's appalling suicide statistics. Children of 3 and 4 years old are too young to be expected to behave perfectly - meltdowns and tantrums are a normal developmental phase for children at this age. It is normal for them to make noise and occasionally behave poorly. It would not be acceptable in this preschool, apparently, or in wider Japanese society and that is a concern.
@@rosepetal6345 Being a kid there would be fine, but working there is terrible and connects to the suicide rate. Also the kids have a lot of pressure on them put from the parents (I know not every parent is like this but most of them are) and you can't really be yourself.
@@rosepetal6345have you ever heard of something called “research”?
@@vanderbam2741 I think the suicide rate main factor are most of the adult society in japan. In this video i don't see any of the children are not happy
The kids didn’t spill *anything* on the table during lunch wow
Maybe they did but its great that they clean the mess they did
and they use chopstick 😥
Japanese are taught mannerism at very young age, during meal@ lunch break thanking for food,helpers instilled generally without involving religion.
Hardly we can see Japanese waste food / use handphone while consuming their food regardless the country resided.
No gadgets / TV / iPad in daycare... Awesome....
I can't say about this in my own family as my parents will say they're
" OLDER Generation"......
wizard oz2014 technology is a fact of life. get over it
Chiquita Dave Can u imagine Japan as the leading company in technology & inovations is avoiding the usage of laptops/ gadgets in daycares?
Use ur brain little
Aw I think these children are so lovely. They are respectful and kind to each other and the teachers. This kind of attitude is essential for a good school and home life. I really like the way they clean up after themselves too. That teaches respect and that is what is needed in western schools right now. I hope that our schools will take "a page out of these schools book" and apply it to the schools here in England. What a lovely video.
Japanese daycares hire nutritionists, meanwhile American schools are over here calling French fries a vegetable lmaooooooo
and children wait in a line for a slice of apple 😍
Don’t forget pizza sauce is a veggie too 🙄
THE DOLLAR STORE PIZZA!
You guys are either over exaggerating or have been to terrible schools
@Madison DeCou Then you went to a bad school. You can't base your one school experience on the whole American school system.
wow, this was amazing, inspiring and very eye-opening education!

It’s so interesting and incredible to see the early childcare system in Japan. As an ECE teacher myself, most of the children I work with come from broken homes. A lot of the parents that we have are heavily associated with gangs and drugs. Because of this, our children have many troubles with their learning abilities and discipline which can cause my job to be a bit stressful at times. It saddens me when I think about these children going back home so I always have to remind myself to be the best teacher I can be for these kids despite the challenges that I might face. I genuinely love my job because I love making a difference in their life and even getting to know the parents. I will never agree with what these parents get up to in their homes, but they will have my respect and I have come to find that most of these parents are actually quite pleasant to talk to. It’s so lovely knowing that there are childcares like the one in the video where the children (and teachers) seem very happy and you can’t see an ounce of trauma in a child’s eye. I respect these teachers a lot and I respect all teachers that genuinely care for our children. Each early childhood centre of each community will face different challenges, but we all have the same job. ありがとう for this video and for anybody reading this ️🌸
Thank you for doing that job! My sons started a new daycare two months ago. They used to be in a daycare with kids with no problem, across the street from the MIT. Most parents worked at the MIT and around. We now moved away from Boston area. Some kids in their new daycare are in the exact situation you are describing and talking with my oldest son’s teacher (pre-k), she is facing the same issues with some of the kids there. Issues at home and the kids being violent at school due to these issues. It breaks my heart to know some kids are not born with the same chances as others. And the job the teachers do during the day, when the kids are with them is tremendously important. It gives them stability, which is all they need to grow.
Keep doing what you are doing. You have one of the most important job out there! Taking care of the future ❤️
They won’t forget your kindness, keep going!
Thank you Taahlliaa for doing a very important job and your attitude is an example for others.
But we all have same jobs. Egao kudesai (thanks) for this video god bles
as rude as this may sound, but addicts, drunkards should NOT be allowed to have kids
I'm a Japanese Language Student (have been for around 10 years), this video came in my recommendations today and melt my heart! My mother is a lead teacher at an American daycare and I'm going to share this with her.
the rock paper scissors for more dessert is so cute
i think they probably just did it for the last thing available and those who wanted it had to "fight" for it. most of them lost xD
cute nonetheless
Think it is a fun unbiased way for them to hand out extra food. Plus the game teaches them to learn to read/understand peoples thought process instead of relying on luck from "random" choices.
Notice how much quieter than America’s daycare centers.
Straight away noticed. Same here in UK, kids impossible, screaming all day long, soooo noisy in nurseries. I think the reason is the children are not busy enough when in this Japan's nursery they get busy every minute.
Yea for lunches we had to serve them ourselves
Asian,
My kids just want to play in centers. Run around. Its def more messier here lol
Not really. I thought they were actually quite loud
Why does this make me wanna open my own daycare in America just like this?!
Queen Ahdi BECAUSE JAPAN IS BETTA THAN YO COUNTRY
YES EVEN JAPAN
@@namkedi lmao Rachel and Jun
Do it I think we need daycares like this ,I want open one myself
Candace Mung Bro, don’t be rude. Just because she is American doesn’t mean she can’t do something that Japanese. It’s like saying a Japanese person can’t do American 3D animation.
@@Yuuyu165 Hehe, its a joke from a channel called "Rachel and Jun"
This is so adorable. I love the emphasis on forming good habits like community, good nutrition, and manners. It's such a wholesome and dynamic environment where music and instruments are integrated into their school day. I also like that the entire facility is shrunk down to child size and throughout the day they sing.
The children are also very calm (not bad tempered) if you look closely at the apple slice rock paper scissors game, the boy who was behind the kid that won just walked away without whining how he didn't get an apple slice!
An American or Canadian kid would have whined and their parents would have probably sued the teacher for "discrimination"
This is a learned behaviour though. I teach preschool, and it is teaching children to share, take turns to learn to respect themselves and others, to listen and be kind. Children learn the expectations of their teachers and the ''culture'' of a childcare centre. I.e the routines that make up their day and how to interact with people, to make friends and the rules around these friendships...how to behave in their environment. This Japanese centre seems very similar to how NZ preschools are (where I teach), we just have a more free play environment. Like what iyou see at the beginning of the clip, right down to the notebook system (I use this especially for infants and toddlers).
Throughout the day, children are invited into activities of interest or to extend on prior learning from previous days and weeks. For example we would do inquiry based learning, where if a child or children showed an interest in something we would explore it in more depth, but it wouldn't be what the whole class would learn - unless they wanted to.
iloveperfume Sounds fun!
@@chiplobay6126 well...the apple didn't fall far from the tree, sue happy people typically are overly entitled and end up teaching their kids that throwing a fuss will get you what you want.
iloveperfume i would really love to see how your NZ preschools system look like. wish there are video like this :)
This place looks like heaven compared to the daycare I work in. This center is amazing.
Kari2025 you got that right !
this is out of topic but I can see youre a depeche mode fan as well 😂💜💜
Kari2025 wow
Made through the whole video and didn't see one computer, tablet or phone! Not even a tv or monitor. Interesting.
Outside of the sign-in system, yeah.
Marcus Thomas sign in system?
Hermione Granger The screens you see in the first 40 seconds. 'Upon entering the school, parents sign in. This facility has an electronic sign in system.'
Do american daycares have tvs?
you did see the teacher taking pics of the kids, presumably for the parents.
This is amazing! Teachers work hard but the kids are so responsible from an early age and show such great discipline. Thanks for sharing
Japanese schools are amazing, meanwhile my entire uni class got food poisoned in the university cafeteria. An entire class of medical students.
Wow! That is scary.
LMAOOOOO. Similar thing happened with my nursing school. The food had worms in it and someone had to be transported to the hospital.
Man, that sucks.
I only eat rice at my school though.
Atleast you guys survived. Students died in my school, and the school never apologized!
please don’t say oh my God or Lord or not capitalising His letters
As an American I am very impressed. I love how disciplined the children are & how healthy the food is. We could learn a thing or two.
TheChivasare1 or fifty
Sara Vazquez true
Meh, these children are a little over-disciplined for my taste. There's a little too much standing in lines and following the direct orders of the teacher. Kids need lots of free play time, that's when they can actually explore their interests, build social skills, and become self directed learners.
happy gilmore but they do get a lot of free time
Do they? An exact schedule was not shared but the only free time I saw was in the morning, and I'm assuming gym time.
The difference between daycare here in America and Japan is amazing! I work at a daycare in America and it's so stressful, the kids don't do anything, they just make huge messes without helping to clean, they punch, kick, and bite their friends and teachers! They don't even show the teachers here any respect! The Japanese definitely raise their kids properly!
I work at one too! I have 12 kids (3-5) all to myself. I don't have co-workers with me. So it can get very stressful when kids are throwing tantrums and I can't leave the other kids. I can't separate them or put them in a different room because it's a one room daycare. I do it all alone, and I feel so scared sometimes that something bad will happen because I am only one person and cannot keep up. However, I have only been doing this for about 5 months, so I expect it will get easier with experience and time. My boss is very good with the kids and they listen to her well, I hope one day they will listen to me as well as they do to her.
Darci ikr because people think they r spoiled but thats not true
You said you worked in America? I wonder which state, because for preschool aged children ratio should be 1 teacher to 10 kids. I live in Illinois and that's state requirements. Having all those kids to yourself must be difficult! Keep at it! If you establish a routine with them, they can learn to help you with tasks (i.e cleaning up after themselves and helping each other out).
Darci
Darci American kids are not thought manners.
I smiled at the girl picking her nose while singing about how clean her hands were. This video make me want to be a small child in that nursery school. Just wonderful! And why do we adults stop using bright colors? They make us so happy, after all! Thank you for this video. It was a marvelous discovery.
Naaw, I worked in several japanese nursery schools when I did a work and travel trough japan. It was so we'll organized and the kids were all very well behaved and adorable! When I left every class made me handcrafted gifts to remember them! And I still remember a lot of faces and names of my past kids :) It was a great time
Aww, bless you and your pure golden heart, your the very lucky person to ever have that kind of love and attention, bravo ya lovely peep
Awwwwww
I remember this one time I went for a foster child programme in Japan and the organiser brought the participants to a Japanese school. It was similar like this but the kids are older. I can't remember if it's an elementary or middle school. But we did some activities and crafts together and at the end of the visit, the kids gave each of us the handcrafted item we made together as a souvenir.
Such a fond memory.
Don’t use God’s Name in vain, Exodus 20:7
“Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.”
Lord Jesus Christ is coming back everyone, please don’t worship celebrities and entertainment, focus on Him alone. I promise there’s more to life than money, partying, homosexuality and music. Hell is real, repent from sinning confess your sins and ask God to forgive you, I know He will if you’re sincere. Anyone who thinks the Name of Lord Jesus Christ is a joke, boldly mocks and scorns Him or takes pleasure in people who do is in for a big unpleasant surprise on judgement day IF they don’t repent and follow Lord Jesus Christ. Hell is very hot, people please repent! In the mighty name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏💪✝️💜❤️✝️!
Idolatry such as, Islam, Catholicism, Sangomaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Santa Clausism, Confucianism, New Age, Science, Evolution, halloweenism, Harry Potterism, Politics, Donald Trumpism, Easter Bunnyism and other religions/faiths that are outside Biblical Christianity lead to hell! Don’t believe them, believe the Almighty God the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, who begot Him. Our Creator, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is mighty, He doesn’t need a woman to beget a son, He is God. I choose to put my faith in a God who can do anything and everything, a God who has unlimited and infinite power to beget!
So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen. ✝️❤️

right! 😅 but the kids just got back in line and laughed. no crying or temper tantrums. such well behaved angels 😇
I love this, so happy and content. Great learning environment. ⭐️
Never seen so many adorable, responsible kids in my life. U.S. really needs to adopt some of these methods like having everyone take off their shoes before entering schools, washing and cleaning up after themselves, learning different crafts and the teachers should eat the same healthy foods to stay fit and awake while they teach.
I work in daycare around Detroit. I want to cry watching this. This system in Japan is so beautiful. I can only dream to one day provide this for my work babies, but sometimes it feels like I'm one of the only ones in the field who cares. It's heartbreaking.
That’s really sad. Please keep your motivation 🙏🏻
Please move to Japan. It's a Whole different world than the one you're used to!🙏🏻🇯🇵🇯🇵❤️

Yes! I am Scottish but I was adopted into a Japanese household, and if you have money and time to get your kids enrolled it truly is a great experience for the kids. 💕

Don’t do it, this is idealised but as a “foreigner” your child will be almost certainly alienated and bullied. Harsh reality of Japan.
@@mollymay4846 Truth.
Has a woman who works in daycare for more than 15 years, I couldn't agree more. Sadly that's the raw truth. I see a lot of kids that came from other countries being put aside and having hard time socializing with natives. Maybe a older kid would had more capacity to deal with that, "maybe". I would love to work in a Japanese daycare one day. Hope I will have that lucky opportunity; but I have enough experience to say that education cames from people, not places, so we don't need to move to other countries to provide a good education to our children, just look for different tips of schools you may have in your area, city or country.
I'm European by the way and the schools (public) here are pretty good 😌🇵🇹🇪🇺
@@mollymay4846 totally agree ...JAPANESE R THE BIGGEST RACISTS ON EARTH
Wow the difference is sad. I work at pre schools and they are nothing like this.
They can’t go to the bathroom without us watching them- nor can they wash their own hands without starting to play with the soap.
Make a cat out of clay? Nope they can’t even press down hard enough to make a heart out of the stamper thing.
They are served horrible food that a lot of children don’t even eat. And we clean it up most of the time.
I know they showed the best parts of the day. But even so... our best times are nothing like anything shown in the video. They are polite, quick and efficient and nobody cried when they didn’t win the Apple slice.
emily s well said. Just always remember to not feel too bad, Japan is definitely one of the most developed countries in the world. They truly care about raising their kids well. This isn’t even the “best times”, this is really the A typical for these kids. I grew up part time in Japan. While in maybe America, there’s seriously a lack in child development in SOME areas. Wish it was all the same for all the precious kids everywhere but hey, to each their own.
Yeah I work at a preschool too and completely agree
Bad parenting.
You’re running your classroom incorrectly, then. I work at a primrose preschool and my kids are SO clever, independent, and kind, because that is how we expect them to act in the classroom.
Madison Rose Exactly. Classroom management starts with the educator's methods and strategies
This is soo cute, the camera man is playing with the kids, and why are all the children way better at playing the instruments and sculpting the clay?!??!??!???🥺🥺🥺♥️♥️♥️
Another reason why I miss Japan. Had the pleasure of living in Okinawa for some time. My son went to a Japanese preschool and I’ve never had any complaints. I sure do miss the culture and the schools. If I could, I would stay there forever.
I have been living in Okinawa also 💕 very nice place
I lived there 3 years and loved it. I worked in a daycare on the air base and keep insisting to my husband the kids were better behaved there and it was a better curriculum. I think the higher ups got ideas from the daycares out in town. Also there were a few local Japanese who worked there as well, one had been a kindergarten teacher.
May I ask why you moved?
Imagine if we had this system in the US, things could be so different.
Imagine if we cared about our kids more than we cared about war.
I think there are many things in Japanese kindergartens that some American parents might not like. For example, about twice a year, parents also help clean the school and school grounds with the kids. There’s an activity, meeting or event almost every month that parents need to attend. There is a prescribed range of school things that the kids could bring - flashy or branded items are not allowed. Most of all, vaccinations are required unless the child is medically unable to receive them. They can’t bring toys to school, wear or use expensive items, Or bring their own snack or dessert. I’m not sure all Americans would be receptive to letting go of some freedoms and independence.
cecilia torres
I doubt they’d like the food choice either “My kid is vegetarian!” “Mine’s vegan!” “Mine’s dairy free!” All with out medical reasoning. No, Karen, your kid isn’t vegan or dairy free. They’re a toddler and they need a range of food.
What do you mean? How is us nurseries?
Montessori schools are like this. I've seen one first-hand. Unfortunately though, only the priviledged wealth have this resource. Which is ironic, considering the founder of montessori schools had invented this method of teaching to give poor kids a future. Yet the most vulnerable group are the ones who still receive the lowest quality of education.
I love how they had an entire drawer or pokemon coloring sheets
Pyro the Eevee well...Pokémon is a young child program technically

School lunch songs, are they still singing this one? ! Wow, I was surprised at how nostalgic I am.
I was born in the 60's and sang the exact same melody when I was in preschool.
The lyrics are "O-bento, o-bento, I'm so happy, let's eat everything, chew well, we all greet each other together,
Thank you, father and mother"
I love that kid who just gave up and pushed the tape along lol.

The government there is so nice if you get COVID there they send you a care package while quarantine and the food looks nice and actually good and they even send cookies and sweets like that’s so nice of them
I absolutely agree! Sadly, all governments have the opportunity to do this but they choose not to. 😒
Right? Whereas in the US, it almost seems to me like kids grow up like weeds, without training or discipline, and they can yell, scream, throw tantrums, hit others, and it’s all “ok because they’re kids”. Kids are not taught to respect their elders and it shows.
Its because they don't accept immigration
Its easy to maintain if its just your race

I taught little kids in Japan for almost 4 years. They are painfully adorable. 😭 Wait till you see the lunches they bring from home.
LET ME COME WITH YOU!!
I had that thought then decided that I don't speak japanese and don't really want to talk to the kids
I love how orderly and organized everything is
And the kids have very good energy and I would want to be around that but not more than I want that system and being the one who made it that way
There's so much less fighting if they're not afraid of stepping on rice or not having any good crayons/ pencils/ clay left
The Japanese children are engaged throughout the day while having fun. I enjoyed watching!!
Japan is so impressive in everything 😱
Athena Beatriz not really this daycare standard in the USA as well
MrWalker1000 I think she meant how clean and organized the kids and teachers are. The only difference are the cultural aspects.
Athena Beatriz it's usually the education system and all of their schools that's better. You know, since the United States spends most of their money on the gosh darn MILITARY 😭
having attended two years at a public Japanese high school there are a lot of drawbacks to the Japanese system. In general I've found on the surface Japan looks good but once you dig deeper, as with anything, there are some serious fundamental issues.
Gaz That’s an interesting perspective. Can you give a few examples?
And there you can see what children in Western Society are lacking: responsibility. It is the only way to truely teach children manners, cooperation and foster good habits. As a young teacher I am impressed by the mental growth of these children whilst my students (being in secondary education) must even be told to (and how to) clean up after themselfes. They are helpless in comparison to these children while being twice their age...
It's not that way in Montessori schools.
Depends on the school and what education model they follow. At the preschool I work at we teach the kids responsibility, empathy and respect. However, we don't follow the mainstream education model, so there's that.
It really depends on the teachers. When I taught in the US, I gave my little people tasks to do in my classroom from sweeping to wiping down tables and desks and they LOVED it! They would be arguing over who was going to do what! And don't get it twisted: I definitely saw my older Korean students barely do the tasks they were given and their Korean school had a cleaning lady. Kids are kids everywhere!
I don’t think you can put all western people in one box! I’m from Germany and our kindergardens here are pretty much the same as the one in this video🤷🏻♀️
Everytime when lunch is finished there's always rubbish on the floor and people don't put their rubbish in the bin they just throw it on the floor without a care in the world
My school: looks like jail
Their School: looks like playland
Edit: Thx for the likes guys!!! I’ve never had 1k before!
Another edit: Yeah I realized that it was a daycare 😅
Pipeline to prison. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/School-to-prison_pipeline
Same here
I wish they accept 8 year old kods .-.
Different school treatment mainly depends on age and their “school” is a daycare so it isnt even classified as a school since barely any education is being taught, its simply more like a big babysitting program
Well, it's a daycare, not a school
The nursery teachers taking the kids on film while they sing is the sweetest thing ever😭❤️
If America’s system was like this, we would live with smarter citizens
It's not the school system, it's the home. If parents can't teach their children to behave at home, they won't behave at school.
@Two Face Not really. Home always Trumps school. Home is where values are taught. If education isn't stressed at home, it won't be accepted by the child. If strong family structure isn't stressed in the home, it won't be accepted as normal or wanted by that child in the future. This is why the ghettos and lower end neighborhoods are multi generational. If you want to see how most kids will end up, either their family structure, values, education, income level, etc, just look at their parents.
Karens would never exist
You have to start somewhere. Obviously, it's much easier to change a school rather than every single parent. Changing the American system would take time, that is several generations. The first of the generations goes to this new school, with the hope that they learn better values to raise their kids and then have their kids go to this school.
@@fauxpas4589 Once again, values are not taught at school, but reinforced. If the values aren't there to begin with you are spinning your wheels. A great example is in the US public school system and where the largest amount of cash is usually sunk into schools, the worse the outcome of student achievement. This doesn't prove that the more money one puts into a school system, the better the results. What it does do is reveal where the family does not place value on education. If we are going to start somewhere, let's start where it's actually going to work and not just waste everyone's time. In those struggling areas, let's push for bringing back a strong nuclear family and really push to bring those that lead those families into the education process.
I've always admired how the Japanese educate their children. They learn about values from a very young age and become very independent. That's why they are very polite and smart!
Ok. I know exactly WHERE I want my future children to grow!💙
Yup they are Soo disciplined I love itttt
I might move to Japan. In my adulthood. And yes, I would love my future kids to grow up here. There’s also a lot of other reasons why I would move. Prices, jobs, society, etc.
YES
I was almost born in Japan, but my dad decided to turn down the job so I could grow up with the rest of my family too.
Wow! This is every childcare teachers dream! I work with 2-3 yr olds (14 of them). And it is a everyday struggle I feel like quitting all the time. My students are so disrespectful to me and my assistant. Also mean to each other. No matter how much we redirect them and show them love. They destroy everything new that we get in the classroom. They scream at us, spit at us, punch at us, tell us to shut up and tune out everything we say. And they are only 2-3. Its so frustrating. Then there are parents that complain about the smallest of things like muddy shoes. But don't understand how HARD it is to be a early childhood educator. Not to mention all the thousands of state rules and regulations. 3 steps just to clean one table (I have 6 tables in my room) and you have to clean them after each segment (example. Transitioning from play time to lunch time) *sigh* Wash your hands before and after EVERYTHING (example. Before putting the children lunch on the table and after) its ridiculousness. My skin is so dry from washing my hands that they are sore and peeling I am 24 and my hands look 60. That's just the beginning. And we don't get paid enough for what we do. It is so frustrating and overrated. I am burnt out .
I look after under 2s and can tell that most never get told no at home as they have such a tantrum when we tell them. There is just so much that is different in the way of respect and boundaries that children in Japan get taught from a young age that all children need to be taught. I'm 27 and my hands are currently cracking and bleeding from over washing and every year they get worse.
I have also unfortunately seen all of the behaviour that you have experienced as been working in nursery settings for just over 8 years and haven't always been with the under 2s. Also completely agree with not being paid enough for what we all do. Also long hours and lack of respect from some parents who seem to think we can spend all of our time with just their child even though there are multiple other children in the room.
Teachers in general should be paid 90-100k a year. I swear to god, they seriously aren’t paid enough.
I hear you. In some areas the children are off the chain. This is why I brought pre school to my home. I'm an in home family child care and I run my program of 14 children very similar to this video.
@@littlemissgiggles165 use vaseline at night right after your shower
You may want to invest in lotion bars, many are made for and by nurses that also have to wash their hands many times a day, are safe, approved and some antibacterial as well. I used one when I worked daycare, it saved my hands. Also consider having your own small private daycare with just a few kids, you would make more money and be better able to control activities and have a closer relationship with the parents. Meaning then you guys can really talk and compare notes and be on the same track. Private childcare has been so much more rewarding for me than working for a boss. Childcare isn't business to me, it is grooming the future. I am considering to start my own small private daycare while getting certified for elementary school education.. so I can keep my small group together for longer and truly explore their potential instead of sending them into the machine.
I'm a nursery school teacher from Germany, it was very interesting for me to see what nursery school in Japan is like. We have very much in common :)
I have high schoolers in my school with less responsibility and independance.
America aux now. Thia givernment has failed us by us disciplining our children we get in trouble but at the same time the army disciplines them. So contradicting🤦
BRUHHH
OMG so nostalgy,,,
I'm 24 years old Japanese but I still remember the system and song. Almost same,,,!
わかる。普通に歌えてビビったわw
I'm 20 but I still remember these songs as well XDD
ホントに懐かしいわw
@lina I'm pretty sure that I'm using the right character because I'm Japanese and l live in Japan. But thanks. :-) ありがとね😃
ーえみり www
@lina no you are wrong. The “は” you are talking about means “is”.
The kids don’t even complain abt the food... in the US here kids would be crying and screaming about the vegetables.... how are they not picky
Two choices. Take it or leave it.
I just turned 23 four days ago, and I still will not eat onions, bell peppers, cauliflower, green olives, pickles, liver, jalapenos, raw tomatoes by themselves, and broccoli if it is covered in cheese.
(It's a texture thing.)
Hannah they have learnt pretty fast that complaining about the food, or being picky or throwing a tantrum won‘t help. Everyone eats the same, teachers included.
It is mostly because education at home. If their parents teach them to not pick any food even if they don't like it it will be habit . So try to teach your child to not pick any kind of food and be grateful to have food . I , myself unfortunately can't eat 2-3 foods (I feel like thro even if I force myself. I tried to get over it)but other than that I eat every foot if it is edible to respect it. Thanks for my parents
@Cheesecake For Life Lol back in high school I brought or ate in Cafetria. My stomach got pissed lol. I wished to just wait until getting home. In college now, just go across street to Quickly's.
Such well behaved little bundles of energy! Bravo teachers and parents!
Ikr?! I’m so impressed! My future job will hopefully be teaching childcare or a primary school in Japan 🇯🇵 😊
My favorite thing about Japanese preschool (which is what i went to) is that it focuses more on socializing and creativity than math and reading. not that they don’t do math and stuff but it helped me learn how to get along with others and it was really good for me to let out energy through creative outlets. some of my favorite things we did was clay, crochet, and growing cherry tomatoes
I love how the sick kids and teachers wear masks.
Thats not only for sickness. The air in asia is very filthy and its not healthy for you to breath that in 24/7
@@kimovoorbraak that's a very generalized statement. All cities have dirtier air naturally. Japan has some of the cleanest air albeit. I think you're lumping all of asia into being like Beijing for some reason
Masks are also worn as to not get sick from other people.
Kimo v. That's China, bro
I think that the standard for dealing with contagious illnesses is the same in Japan as in the US- keep a child home until they're cleared to return or at least until 24 hours after a fever breaks. I suspect that the masks are more to protect airways from air pollution, which is common in densely populated areas and can make respiratory illnesses like asthma worse. They can also be worn as a precaution.
im from England and used to work in a day nursery for children, our routines are quite similar, especially food and nap time. I love how the children all have their own bedding which is cleaned at home, at ours we had to provide and wash bedding which means hours of washing and drying. I cant believe how well-behaved all the children are!
Chloe Dickenson I didn’t have any nap time in my childhood o-o
Where in England is there facilities like this??!!
In my preschool we had towels to nap on. Not comfy
@@AniKaniFraniStan In mine we had cots, but could bring our own blankets or pillows if we wanted
“when kids make a mess, they have to clean it up by themselves, although they can get a helpful hand from a teacher”
these kids are cleaning up after themselves better than most adults can
Japan kids:Thank you for the food!
American kids: omg this food sucks. (This is a joke)
😲😲😲😲😲😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Yep!
Same in here lolz
Generally schools in America tend to have lower budgets, thats why school lunches are so “bad” and also their kids so at a very young age you’ll be taught to say thank you to quite literally everything that is given to you. You have to take in account that these are younger kids and not middle schoolers or high schoolers which is going through puberty and other difficulties in life
Yep.
baby girl not all america schools or daycare centers are like that,and if a kid says something sucks they are being raised with no home training or respect.
This is also the reason why I wanted to be a nursery/daycare teacher despite of taking a business course hahaha. I hope I can have a daycare center instead in the future 😂
from philipines
Start a daycare business? Best of both worlds, you own a business and run your own daycare centres
Its hard. I used to work at one. Its very similar here but the food these kids got is better and they were more organized, behaved, and independent than the kids in US. We baby kids way too much!
MeefHere dd
I am a business major...Follow your passion and become a teacher, this is a horrible field.
I loved Japan and the Japanese people and culture. I am from Michigan US. I promised myself I would retire there. I am a nurse and practicing my Japanese language. Love, hugs and panda kisses.
Sherry Shore hi Sherry, thank you for your lovely panda kiss. from tokyo😊 ありがとう
I'm from Michigan too, I would love to travel to Osaka and Tokyo
Sherry, we love Japan and have been many times. It is the best country in the world, and fantastic people. But please go and live there for a few months, so you can decide if you can truly live there. It is very hard for us western people, the way Japanese people think and live is very different, would be very hard to adjust to it at an old age. I agree that if you want to move to Japan, you should go now.
A big hello from a fellow MICHIGANDER!
@Brad Smith Good point!
Giving children more responsibility as they get older is a great way to bring them up.
All thee kids are sooo respectful, responsible and soooo cuteee omg
I love how all kids got up from their chair and then pushed their chair in. Some adults can't even do that. Lol
I immediately noticed that too! They have very good manners.
wow, I am working in a german kindergarden, there some of the parents come in......without even greet the teachers or say any kind of hello.....this is why japanese culture is so polite.....because they learn a high level of respect and behaving, and also that is why japan has such ideas, the best cars, and high technology.....because everyone is trained to work as hard as possible, and to always give their best. I have seen another docu about japaneses children travel by train all by themselfs at the age of 6 , 7 years old. They win so much security by themselves, that they know what to do next
AnnaEmilia Germany has best car, every one knows it, even Japan has good car as well
Germans used to be as disciplined as the Japanese, but then degenerated along with the rest of the west.
work to get Germany to their starting education again
Don't germans go to school by themselves too? At least I and all my friends did. But that was 13 yrs ago. Nowadays more and more are accompanied by their parents probably. (I also took the train at age 6)
Awesome. Love to see what a great time this children have at school.
