This kindergarten is completely open,

most of the year.

And there is no boundary between inside and outside.

These children show amazing

concentration in class.

And these children have the highest

athletic abilities among many kindergartens.

When you put many children in a quiet box,

some of them get really nervous.

In that kind of occasion,

Usually children try to hide somewhere.

But here, just they leave and come back.

don't protect them too much,

and they need to tumble sometimes.

They need to get some injury.

And that makes them learn

how to live in this world.
