In Japanese kindergartens, young children are encouraged to have a variety of experiences, such as interacting with many friends of the same age, sharing their feelings, and sometimes working together. In the process of these experiences, young children experience the joy of living in a supportive environment with other young children, and acquire independence as well as social skills at the same time. At the Sanko Kindergarten in Minato City, Tokyo, the environment is designed to connect the thoughts and activities of each individual, and the activities are conducted in groups so that it allows young children to interact with each other. This makes the best use of each one's individual strengths within the group. In addition, it is expected to foster the awareness of hygiene and health among children. This is an example where children work together with friends to do cleaning of their classroom, playground, shelves, and other utensils they use at the end of the semester,.
