Singing session

My child has learned to sing Japanese songs. The participating families range from newborns to older siblings before reception, allowing for interaction with children of different ages and learning communication skills.

Morning Activity

It's great to be able to chat and consult with other mothers in Japanese. My child can experience Japanese cultural aspects (annual events and more) and play with children in similar situations.

Morning Activity

Since my child wasn't attending nursery yet, it was a good opportunity for them to play in a group. When we joined, my child was the youngest, so interacting with older children was beneficial. I was happy to see my child's growth. Most importantly, my child enjoyed participating every time, and I am glad we joined.

Childbirth Seminar

In the two-hour session, I was able to hear a series of stories from childbirth preparation to actual childbirth and postpartum, making it a very meaningful time. I received practical information on mental and physical preparation before childbirth, so I plan to prepare myself thoroughly before the birth.

Creating a community with Japanese people has been a comfort in the lonely overseas life. It's also helpful to easily ask about parenting.

Childbirth Seminar

At first, I had no image of childbirth at all, but listening to actual childbirth experiences during the seminar helped me gradually form an image, and it was very educational. Thank you very much.

Childbirth Seminar

This was my first time participating in a Nakayoshikai event, and having such a support network made me feel reassured. I couldn't participate in the online meetings held during weekdays, so I appreciated that this event was held on a Saturday. I was able to hear experiences from others at the same table and make connections. I would like to participate in playgroups and other activities after childbirth. Thank you very much.
