[Childcare] June Event Ideas! Great for Cavities Prevention Day and Family Day♪

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

After working for five years at an after-school childcare club and three years at a nursery school, I began working as a freelance writer. I’m a mother of two children. Inspired by playing the flute in the school wind ensemble in elementary school, I joined a jazz club at university. I’ve also incorporated ukulele and piano performance into childcare. Playing, laughing, feeling sad, feeling frustrated—through all kinds of experiences, I want children to grow.

In June, nursery schools and kindergartens hold events like Cavity Prevention Day, birthday parties, and Family Day.

Here, we’ve gathered ideas for June-themed activities.

For children, lunchtime means more than just getting nutrition.

It’s an important time to have fun with friends and a place to foster social skills.

It also sparks interest in food and helps them learn basic table manners, nurturing a sense of gratitude toward meals.

Event lunches are also appealing because they let children experience the charm of traditional dishes, their origins, and the joy of colorful presentations.

Family Day

Create memories with your family! Here are some ideas for Family Day.

When you hear “Family Day,” you might feel like you have to do something special, but simply doing the activities you usually do at the preschool together with parents can make for a wonderful time—so feel free to give it a try.

Setting up a workshop corner where parents and children can replant flowers in the garden together is also a great idea.

How about planning a Family Day that makes the most of your preschool’s unique strengths?

Let's try growing vegetables

Nurture life and learn the importance of food! Here are some ideas for trying your hand at growing vegetables.

It’s a wonderful way to show children how fascinating nature is and why food matters.

By growing vegetables like eggplant, cucumbers, tomatoes, and bell peppers, they can watch the thrilling process as seeds sprout and leaves grow larger.

Harvesting and eating the vegetables they raised themselves brings joy and fosters gratitude for food.

With their hands in the soil, it becomes a lovely learning time that helps them feel connected to nature.

“Family Day” Photo Frame

[Kindergarten/Preschool] Father’s Day gift in June! Making a photo frame

“Family Day” Photo Frame

In May and June, we have Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, which bring more opportunities to show appreciation to parents.

How about making a photo frame as a heartfelt gift to express your gratitude? One method is to cut out the photo area from a milk carton, cover it with construction paper, and color it.

There are many other ways too, such as using origami paper, toilet paper rolls, or yarn.

Feel free to adapt the method to suit your child’s age.

For the photo, consider using one taken with the parent or one that shows the child’s growth.
