THE HIROGARI
CHILDCARE PROJECT
ABOUT

Well-Being begins in the everyday lives of children.
Through responsive relationships with peers and adults,
children develop a sense of belonging, confidence, and connection to the wider world.

The Hirogari Childcare Project is a community-based initiative that nurtures environments where children can live as themselves, participate meaningfully in shared life, and grow as capable contributors to society.

Inspired by IKIIKI — a Japanese approach to holistic well-being — we place children’s well-being at the heart of our practice.

Through relationships grounded in trust and respect, children experience belonging, develop confidence, and engage actively in their learning and everyday life.

In partnership with families and communities, we create learning environments where children grow as participants in society and where well-being can flourish for all.

Well-being is not only an outcome for children — it is a foundation for building inclusive and sustainable communities.
We invite you to join the Hirogari Childcare Project and take part in shaping a future where people grow together.

Well-Being begins in the everyday lives of children.
Through relationships with peers and adults,
these experiences expand outward—
connecting families, communities, and society.

Creating communities where Well-Being can flourish.
Well-Being is nurtured through relationships,
participation, and shared responsibility.

When families, educators, local residents, businesses, and individuals come together,
communities become places where people support one another and grow together.
Through the participation of diverse people, society becomes more inclusive, connected, and sustainable.

Physical Well-Being

Children feel safe,
healthy, and free to move
and explore.

Psychological Well-Being

Children feel accepted
and express themselves
with confidence.

Social Well-Being

Children feel connected
and belong within
their community.

Two Key
Elements of
Well-Being

Inclusiveness and Diversity are the foundation for fostering the "three assurances" necessary for well-being.
In an environment where these two things are perceived as natural as breathing, children empathize, play, and communicate, and furthermore, they begin to resonate with society and their community. Through this entire process, the "three senses of security" that are indispensable for realizing well-being can be secured.

Inclusive

Embracing Differences

To foster an inclusive place free from isolation or exclusion by recognizing and accepting diverse "differences," such as nationality, language, cultural background, family environment, and disability status.

Diversity

Recognizing Differences

To embrace all these "differences," increase opportunities for everyone to genuinely thrive as themselves, and realize 100 unique ways of living for 100 people.
