The Japanese translation is as follows. So this is the value that Tinkergarten provides.
Children spend more than eight hours in front of a screen every day. Parents have a strong need to balance this with stimulating, aloud time that is healthy, energizing, and developmental. In our classrooms, children learn social and emotional enrichment skills such as leadership, problem solving, and perseverance. And we have designed scenarios that allow parents to play and learn the skills they want their children to learn to ensure that they are able to walk firmly on their own.
