Japan's education standards have always been among the highest in the world, which is inseparable from their excellent early childhood education. Children in Japanese kindergartens develop a spirit of independence and good living Xi habits from an early age, and learn how to integrate into society through group life. Japanese kindergartens are more of an amusement park for childhood than a place of enlightenment for learning Xi. Children who grow up in such an environment, playing in nature and in the company of their peers, have an invaluable childhood, and this precious childhood will completely unleash the child's nature, nourishing and inspiring them when they truly absorb knowledge. Therefore, preschool education in Japan has always been the object of Xi in many countries.
With the declining birth rate, early childhood education in China is entering a challenging historical stage. To a large extent, the success of this generation of early childhood educators depends on expanding their international vision and learning Xi world's advanced early childhood education concepts, so more and more Chinese people hope to learn from Japan's early childhood education.
During the 2023 National Day, the China Education 30 Forum (CE30) successfully held the "Japan Education Study Tour", which attracted wide attention from the domestic education community, and many people in the field of early childhood education wanted to study Japanese early childhood education. To this end, CE30 decided to cooperate with the East Asian Education Exchange Association to organize the "Japan Early Childhood Education Study Tour" during this year's winter vacation, and the delegation will participate in the "China-Japan Early Childhood Education Forum" in Tokyo.
