Shizen Ikuji Mori no Warabe Tajimi-en

Mori no Warabe (森のわらべ) is a nature-based forest kindergarten in Tajimi, Gifu, welcoming children since 2009 (a general incorporated association, MORIWARA, since 2019). There is no ordinary classroom: the children spend their days outdoors — in the forests, satoyama hills, and parks around Tajimi — through every season, climbing, exploring, and playing led by their own curiosity, watched over by warm, experienced staff. Visiting families come for the day together, parent and child side by side.
