The Japanese translation is as follows. This is the value that Tinkergarten provides.
Children spend more than eight hours each day in front of a screen. Parents have a strong need for balance with stimulating, out-of-doors time that is healthy, energizing and developmentally stimulating. 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 walking well on their own.
