Toyo Eiwa Kindergarten

Toyo Eiwa Kindergarten follows educational principles centered on respect and support, preparing children through structured activities and free play exploration.

Martha Julia Cartmell, the first Canadian Methodist missionary in Japan, established the educational institution in 1884, starting with only two students.

The kindergarten integrates Christian teachings into daily activities through prayers, hymns, and educational experiences that connect children with spiritual values.

The location in central Tokyo provides access to international visitors and scholars, creating opportunities for children to learn about different cultures.

Students participate in the Gingko Nuts project, raising funds to construct educational facilities in Bangladesh while learning about global responsibilities.
