主体性を大切にします
We encourage children initiated learning.
多様な経験を通して、自ら考え解決方法を導き出す力を育んでほしい。
それがわたしたちの願いです。
子ども達が自分で考え、自分で工夫して遊ぶ「自由遊び」を大切にし、クラス単位での一斉教育との適切なバランスのもとで、生き生きと積極的に「せかい」とかかわり、思いやりを持って行動できる子どもの育成を目指しています。
Through various experience, we would like to nurture the skills to look for the solutions and to solve problems they may face. That’s what we wish.
We take “free play” which comes from children’s natural curiosity and enthusiasm important, for children to be actively involved with the world around them, and to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.

幼稚園は、「元気」を育てる自由な遊び場です
Kindergarten is the place to develop "energeticness"
子どもの生活の主軸は遊びです。
お友達と交わり、外気に触れ、体を動かして遊ぶ経験を通して、こころも体も成長していきます。
自由な遊びの中で、時には転んだり、危ないことに出会うかもしれませんし、お友達とけんかになるかもしれません。しかし、そういった経験の中には、様々な気付きがあります。
それらの経験を通して初めて、子どもたちは、何が危険かを知り危険を避けるすべを知り、さらに、相手の痛みがわかるようになるのです。子どもはこのようなことの繰り返しで成長していきます。転ぶことを恐れて走ることをやめさせてしまったら、子どもたちの成長の道は閉ざされてしまいます。
子どもたちが自由に遊べる場所が減ってきている時代だからこそ、町田こばと幼稚園は、保護者の皆さまとの厚い連携のもと、「元気」を育む自由な遊び場でありたいと考えています。
At Kobato, we take spontaneous play (inside and outside free play) which comes from children's natural curiosity and enthusiasm important, and taking a good balance with the regular classes for active and enthusiastic education and care. Main activity of children’s everyday life is to play. Children grow body and soul through the experience of free play; the relationships with friends, exposing to the outside air, and moving bodies. Knowledge, emotion, mind, and social skills, a lot of the living skills are developed through plays.
They may encounter some dangerous moments. They may start quarrel and fighting with friends. But those experiences contain lessons they need to learn. And they get chances to know the dangers, how to avoid the dangers, and they get to know the pains of others.
“It is okay to fall down and cry, but we want them to rise to their feet and start running again. When the second time comes, they may be able to rise without crying. When the third time comes, they might tremble but not fall, get balanced again and keep running.” Children grow up like that. If we fear the failures and stop them running, their process of growing up will be shut down.
Spaces for children to play are decreasing these days, and that is especially why Machida Kobato needs to be the place for them to play freely to develop energeticness, with the tight cooperation with parents.

専科 Specialty classes
スイミング Swimming
園内の屋内温水プールで、専任教諭による指導を年少より週一回、年間通して行います。幼児期から積極的に水に接することによって、水への恐怖を取りのぞきつよい体の基礎を作るとともに、何事にも挑戦していく心を育てます。初めは水を怖がった子どもも、顔をつけられるようになった、もぐれるようになったなど、段階を経るにつれ、いきいきとした笑顔を見せるようになります。卒園までに水に浮き、泳げるようになることを目標にしています。真夏（7月）は屋外にプールを設置して、太陽のもとで水遊びを楽しみます。
We have weekly swimming class with our PE teacher in our indoor heated swimming pool throughout a year from Nensho (K1). Having opportunities actively involved with water from early childhood to dispel the fears of water and to make the basis of strong body, as well as nurturing a strong heart to challenge with all the thing they may face. With children who were fearing water at first, gradually becoming able to put the face in the water, then dive under the water, and as going through the growing process, they begin to show bright happy faces. We are targeting to be able to float, and to swim by the time of graduation. During mid summer, we have pools outside and enjoy playing with water under the sun.

英語活動 English
平世界中の人たちと、言葉で伝えあい、共感し、思いやりのある行動がとれるように、平成８年度から保育の中に英語教育を取り入れています。
私達が知らず知らずのうちの日本語を習得したように、聴覚や言語中枢が固まってしまわない幼児期に、英語を母語とする講師が複数名で保育にかかわることで、単語を記憶するだけでなく、インプットしたセンテンスを使いたいときに表現できるアウトプットの環境を整えています。０歳から通える園庭開放（ガーデンクラス）や、２歳児クラスからの経験を積み重ね、『生きている英語』を聞き取り、『使える英語』を身につけることができます。
At Machida Kobato, we started implementing English education in the classes since 1996 (8th Heisei) for children to be able to communicate verbally ,empathise with each other and act compassionately. We are hoping children to learn and get familiar with English while their brain is best able to absorb language, through plays in everyday life just as we all have acquired the Japanese (mother) language.
By associating with several experienced native English teaching experts together, not only memorizing words but also we have opportunities and environments for output as well as receiving inputs of phrases and sentences. We also have Garden Class (pre-K open playground) for 0 year old and over, and by accumulating experiences from 2 year old class to be exposed to “Live English language”, and acquire “Useful English”.

リズム Rhythm
「リトミック」と「ダンス」の要素を取り入れた身体表現のクラスです。音楽に合わせて体を動かすことは、脳の発達を促すとともに情緒面の発達にも深く関わっているといわれています。リズムの時間は、楽しく体を動かしながらリズム感、音感、集中力、自由に表現する力、敏捷性、柔軟性などを養います。
リトルルームから年少、年中、年長の４年間、専任教諭の一貫した指導を受けることで、「継続は力なり」の言葉通り、年長の３学期には、手と足が別々のリズムを表現する等の高度なリズム表現に加えて、積極的な自己表現力が身に付いてきます。
また、お友達と気持ちを合わせて一緒に動いていくことによって、相手を思いやる力やコミュニケーション力も育成されます。
“Rhythm class” is an physical expression class adopting elements of “Eurythmics” and “Dance”. It’s been said that making body movements and listening to music, enhances the brain development and is also deeply related with emotional development.
In this class, we are to cultivate sense of rhythm and music, concentration, skills to express freely, agility, flexibility and etc. Children take the lessons consistently for 4 years starting from Little Room (Pre-K Class) through Nensho (K1), Nenchu (K2) to Nencho (K3) by our dance teacher, and by the last term of Nencho grade, they are able to make different movements with arms and legs, as well as expressing themselves actively.
It also develops caring others and communication skills by making movements together with friends.

体操 Gymnastics
温水プール指導に加え年中からは、器械体操、ボール遊びなどを中心とした体操の指導も始まります。運動能力の発達に加え、集団でのルールなども学んでいきます。
From Nenchu grade (K2), we start to have apparatus gymnastics and physical exercises such as ball playing to learn rules to play as a group.

佐渡ヶ島お泊り会 Summer camp in Sado Island
毎年夏休み（７月後半）に、年長クラスと卒園児の小学生の子どもたちだけで佐渡島に行きます。めざすは佐渡の「メルヘンこばと」。３泊４日の大旅行！町田こばと幼稚園では年少クラスから、保護者の付き添いなしで遠足に行くなどして経験を重ねていきます。
町田こばと幼稚園では、自立したつよい心を育てる大切な機会として、遠足やお泊り会などの行事を位置づけています。のどかな田園風景に囲まれた幼稚園の宿泊施設「メルヘンこばと」でのお友達との合宿生活や、海水浴、金山見学、キャンプファイヤーなど様々な楽しい旅のイベントを通して、子ども達は自分で考え、自分で行動し、自分で乗り越える自律を実践します。町田駅に帰ってきた子ども達の誇らしげな表情に、子どもの大きな成長を実感なさる保護者の方が多いようです。
Every year during summer holidays, Nencho (K3) children (and few graduates) take a journey to Sado Island without parents. Destination is “Marchen Kobato”; the little house children stay for 3 nights and 4 days.
At Machida Kobato, we go on excursions without parents accompanies from Nensho grade (K1), and get some experience to be away from parents. We take the excursion and sleepover events as important opportunities for developing independence of children. Surrounded by the slow and quiet rural scenery, children experience to think themselves, take action themselves, and overcome problems themselves through staying and sharing together in “Marchen Kobato” with friends, and through events such as playing at the beach, visiting mine, campfire and etc.
Many parents get to realise the growth of children when they see children’s proud faces at the return to Machida Station.
