Kindergarten

   My child has turned 3 years old. From April this year, kindergarten will begin. It is supposed to be in kindergarten or nursery school before elementary school. Japanese parents have to choose between entering kindergarten or putting them into nurseries from an earlier age after the child is 3 years old. In recent years, Japanese economy is not good, so parents of dual acts have increased. There are also such circumstances, it seems that there are many parents to put in nursery school. In my home, we decided to put it in kindergarten from the idea that we want my son to have as long as possible contact time with his mother. My wife has no friends around my house. Because parenting stress tends to accumulate, I think that she can make as many friends as possible after children enter kindergarten.
In Japan, kindergarten starts in April. Elementary schools, junior high schools, high schools and other schools all begin in April. The time when school begins may vary from country to country. As the cherry blossoms are in full bloom in April, Japanese people think of the scenery where cherry blossoms bloom when it says entrance ceremony.
When writing this sentence, I used the Google's translation function. I found some words that I needed to correct. But almost of all sentenses may be OK.

Hej, good to see new post on your blog!
It is such interesting one! Japan and Denmark are so different when it comes to kindergardens!
Here kids can start as early as 8 months old. Parental leave lasts for about a year and can be shared between the two parents - so kids start early in nursery. They can start at any time of the year - not only in April as it seems to be in Japan.

When a child is born here, the parents immediately apply for a place in kindergarden, because there are waiting lists. Are there long waiting lists for kindergarden place in Japan?

To Shantal ForSD Hi. In Tokyo, parrents have to wait for accepting, when you apply for nersery school. And here in Gunma, I heard one mother said she could not find a nursery for her daughter. She wanted to let her daughter get in nersury. Gunma is located about 150 km in the north of Tokyo. It is country side.
