Starting this year, we have started a new business model where we rent out kids' rooms to corporations and provide furniture and play equipment for a monthly fee. At first, we were going to focus on Kobe and gradually expand to areas within driving distance. But this time, the circumstances are a little different.
Today I came to consult with someone from Gunma Prefecture.
This is my first time in Gunma Prefecture. When I got off the train, I didn't feel like "Oh, this is Gunma," but I still tend to look around and act suspiciously when I'm in a new place (lol).
While I was doing that, Mr. Koga from Nishitakane Montessori Children's House, who I was supposed to visit today, showed up.
Today's consultation is in a detached house just a short drive from the station. Mr. Koga runs a Montessori early childhood education class here. He originally ran the class in his own home, but has now moved to this house and is starting up a full-scale business.
The signboards are still to be installed, so I'm looking forward to what's to come.
When I went up to the second floor, I found that the place had been beautifully renovated with wooden floors. I have seen many classrooms and daycare centers that promote Montessori education, and as expected, they have educational materials and toys that even adults would want to play with. Children learn by playing with these things (^^♪
Because it is a large house, the rooms are divided into three large rooms. There are various rooms according to the children's play levels. The photo shows an older child's class where they learn hiragana through play and learn about the universe.
This is the English and numbers room. When I was a kid, we learned the multiplication tables by singing songs, but it's definitely more fun to learn the numbers while playing like this. Mr. Koga gave us a lecture.
Well, what did I come here for? I came here for a meeting to discuss the manufacture of furniture for the Nishitakane Montessori Children's House to display various teaching materials and furniture that would allow children to experience everyday life such as doing laundry and housework.
This is my first experience. I still have a lot to learn. But when the classroom environment is set up like this, it makes the students and teachers more interested in playing and studying.
This is how rentals work: let's build a casual but long-term relationship together with Nakayoshi Library!! That's what our business is all about.
It's a slow process, but I would like to spread the word by getting as many people as possible to experience the comfort of wooden furniture and toys.
If you are interested, please feel free to contact us.
I'm Hamada, the person in charge.
Until next time*
