  • Learning Point 01

    Obtain both a childcare worker and kindergarten teacher qualification!

    Since you can obtain two qualifications simultaneously, your range of skills will broaden. Furthermore, by learning the skills required for each qualification together,
    This will enrich your expertise in children and childcare, giving you a competitive advantage.

    By studying the specialized skills of kindergarten teachers and childcare workers in parallel, students can gain a deeper understanding of the differences in their social roles, which will lead to increased expertise as childcare workers.

    In recent years, the number of "certified child care centers" that combine kindergartens and nursery schools has been increasing, and it is considered desirable for staff to hold qualifications as both kindergarten teachers and nursery school teachers, allowing them to work as child care workers who meet the needs of society.

  • Learning Point 02

    When enrolling, what is your commuting pace?
    Choose from two styles!

    Attending school 5 days a week

    (In the third year, students can choose from the "Child Psychology Course" or the "Sick Child Care Course")
    (Choose from "Children's Sports and Dance Course" or "Children's Music Course")
