Today, we had the opportunity to engage in an open and relaxed discussion with local influencers about making Suwa Kindergarten an even more vibrant and appealing place for the future.

One key takeaway from our conversation was a simple yet essential idea: “A kindergarten should be created by the community, nurtured by the community, and loved by the community.” We want to cherish this belief as we shape the path ahead.

As a first step, we decided to explore the idea of establishing an “open community space” during the spring graduation season. There may not be fancy café lattes, but it will be a place where teachers, parents, and local residents can casually gather and engage in meaningful conversations. After all, word-of-mouth spreads most naturally through these small, everyday interactions.
