04“Always and Forever”,Their Land of Adoption
Anyone who has grown up as a child has a nostalgic experience of places, people, or things. It is because a hometown where you are always welcomed with a warm smile that makes you want to stop by and remember it.

About Us
Avenir Nursery is a Nursery that Meets the Guidance and Supervision Standards for Non-Licensed Childcare Facilities in Tokyo.
From 2018 the current year, through the intermittent survey of non-authorized facility, our nursery has received a certificate that conforms to on-site survey for supervision standards .
0 Year Old
Infancy is the most important period for forming a mental foundation.
Centered on that foundation,we will establish basic lifestyle habits through every daily life.
Most of children will able to sit with support or cushions since 6 months and could sit by themselves very well since 7 months.When they can make eye contact with people face to face,we can start baby sign training.As they entered the nursery,we using baby sign to get communication and raising them with care on language development and the stability of the mind.
We implemented “Playing by English” and “Playing by Chinese”,which are suitable for infants.Cause children can learn fastly by ears at this time,they can acquire global languages naturally.
During this period,the five senses,especially the sense of touch,eyesight and hearing are developing rapidly.In a safe environment,under the warm relationship with Nursery teacher,children could touch the real Montessori teaching materials and actual items,and also they will be able to trust the things and people the will meet from now on.
1 Year Old
By accumulating “along with English” and “along with Chinese” the children can gradually work on English and Chinese as a curriculum.
The words absorbed through the ears of the children also promote the growth of a two-year-old child who enjoys having a conversation.
For one year old children,they are not only interested in various things in daily life,but also trying to use words to express themselves.By teaching materials which can enhance motor skills and be freely chosen by children,they can enjoy the actions.In addition,we also prepare rhythmic class as well as gross movement activities to help steady walking.
2 Years Old
Experienced nursery teachers are also assigned to strengthen the educational element, a curriculum of childcare + education is created through teamwork between staff members and many experiences are enjoyed, moved, and interacted with in everyday life and play. We will watch over and assist the children so that they can absorb these feelings.
It’s a vital period of developing their individuality and character for approaching three years old children.They become interested in sensorial materials that are through observation,comparison and arrangement.Meanwhile,they also interested in letters and start to read books.For these,we are working on teaching materials that will satisfy their intellectual desire.On the other hand,children are able to complete things in daily life on their own and want to do something for friends or family,so we try to increase the opportunities for children to do something for others and promote their socialization.
* Currently, we are not recruiting infants (3 to 5 years old).
Mixed-age Childcare
Small children learn from admiring and imitating older children, and the older children are happy and of the thing that is helpful for somebody.That leads them to take leadership.
This precious experience can only be concentrated during the nursery school days.
At Avenir, we will also introduce mixed-age childcare to nurture the mind in a “society called children” and develop the ability to survive in the future.
*We also carry out activities according to age-specific development.

Avenir
– French for Future
Thank you for visiting the homepage of Avenir Nursery.
What kind of image do you have of a nursery school?
For example, a place where do toilet training for children and even cut the nails.
For example, a place that never let child be injured.
For example, a place that teaches words and letters.
Is it true?
It is believed that in nursery schools, all children play a leading role, and adults watch over them.
From large families to elementary families, basic family forms has changed, urbanization has progressed, and consultations with family members have increased year by year.
In proportion to this, society has moved to the labor problems of nursery teachers, and the environment surrounding nursery schools has changed rapidly in recent years.
What kind of smile will your child have in the future?
A childlike “child” who could climb trees, run around, get muddy and getting a little injured.
If they do something wrong then the teacher will get angry at them, they get scared and become unable to tell their parents as well.
Nowadays, there are many children who have fewer opportunities to walk, children who can not climb the stairs and there is no opportunity to move their limbs,
There is a surprising number of children who are unable to use exercise mats due to a decrease in their limbs’ motility.
Along with that, a decrease in immunity has become a problem. Hasn’t it become a convenient society and that’s overprotective?
What should I cherish?
What will cultivate their ability to survive even in the future?
Our society and work are unstable in the present world, and we have a strong willingness to adapt and respond positively to new things that are coming out one after another.
When we go out into society, we want to raise “a child who can respond firmly”.
Avenir nursery school meets the needs of diversified societies, and at the same time, we are able to provide the original Japanese home to the nursery school.
The children that are important to you are all cute children that are also important to us.
Together, let’s watch over the children growth.
The Meaning Behind the Logo Mark
Logo Mark with the Concept of the Future
The Meaning Behind the Logo Mark
The logo is a three-dimensional, advanced image logo mark that combines three streamlined columns and an elliptical ring.
It is a logo design that expresses growth and development under the theme of future and space. The three pillars are designs that image the past, present, and future. The ellipse surrounding the three pillars is designed with a small heart and a large heart. The upper heart is enlarged so that the small heart below becomes a big heart for the future. The heart is a design that expresses the wishes of people. It is a logo mark that shows great potential for the future.
