This approach implements a collaborative project-based education with the atelier at its centre. It is highly regarded worldwide for fostering independence, creativity and problem-solving skills, and has not only been adopted in many early childhood education settings, but has also been introduced in the in-house preschools of large, well-known companies in the USA. Social Constructionism / Constructivism （Based on the concept of Social Constructionism (Social Constructionism) and the philosophy of '100 Words', this is an educational approach that values children's various forms of expression and communication, and encourages them to listen carefully, look carefully and learn together. The basic idea is not to apply a one-size-fits-all approach to the site and the children, but to emphasise elements such as localisation, culture and language. The Reggio Emilia Approach is characterised by a philosophy of freedom and flexibility in its approach, and only major directions, so that the actual implementation in every educational setting is different.

The IB aims to develop inquisitive, knowledgeable and caring young people who, through understanding and respect for diverse cultures, will contribute to building a better, more peaceful world. Furthermore, it aims to provide graduates of accredited schools with an internationally recognised university entrance qualification (International Baccalaureate), ultimately ensuring a route to university entrance. Currently, the IBIC is developing a common curriculum for accredited schools, conducting the universal International Baccalaureate examinations, and evaluating and awarding the International Baccalaureate qualification.

Children are natural learners of nature. The programme uses natural environments such as forests and beaches to give children the freedom to explore, play, learn and develop. The programme demonstrates eight benefits that learning outdoors brings to children

• Building self-confidence and independence

• Empathy with others and nature

• Improved health

• Mental health benefits

• Learning through hands-on experience

• Manageable risk-taking

• Improved sleep and mood

• Understanding of spiritual meaning
  
  

Activities in the programme include exploring forest trails, watching creatures in puddles with magnifying glasses, watching birds with binoculars and tracking changes in wildlife in and around bushes. They gain experience through a variety of creative activities, such as digging in the earth, making crafts with natural materials, walking on bumpy ground, climbing rocks and trees, making mud dumplings and drawing art in the sand. Through this programme, children develop the motivation that comes with curiosity, as well as developing focus, confidence, independence, strength and self-esteem. This not only prepares them for primary school, but also gives them problem-solving skills, creativity and a way of spending time that is independent of facilities and artifacts.

In providing meals at our centres, we aim to provide morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea (and breakfast in some centres), in principle, house-made by professional chefs, using safe and healthy ingredients, balanced nutrition and a diverse range of food culture experiences. We have a strict policy to manage allergies, together with respecting religious and other food preparation requirements. In addition, a food and herb garden is typically established in a corner of the yard, with composting used to reduce food loss. Organic farming is practiced with the children to demonstrate sustainable agricultural methods. Efforts are also made to deepen learning about ecosystems and vegetation through beekeeping with stingless bees. Furthermore, we regularly organise nutrition education seminars on nutrition to provide opportunities for parents and children to learn about the importance of a balanced diet and the diversity of food cultures.

A workshop is used to hone the teamwork and communication skills of educators and staff through a series of 'collaborate, present and empathise' activities so that children learn while playing. Specific subjects include producing a 30-second commercial for their company, designing a logo and making playground equipment out of pieces of pallets (actually used in the Learning Hub).

This workshop uses a framework for self-analysis of Will (what you want to do), Can (what you can do) and Must (what you should do) for each individual considering career design, and also incorporates a process of 'presenting and empathising' with other participants to develop a deeper self-analysis and career plan.

This workshop is designed to deepen children's creativity and cross-cultural understanding and improve their communication skills through the experience of 'creating, presenting and empathising' in English with the art of Aboriginal people, who are considered to be the indigenous people of Australia and the oldest culture in the world. The unique colours and expression techniques of Aboriginal art are unparalleled in other cultures and are now attracting worldwide attention, and the uniqueness of conveying culture and events through drawing rather than writing, and the depth of a life lived as if at one with nature.
