  • Teachers are "designers" who design environments for play and learning.
  • Instead of immediately stepping in to assist, teachers allow children to think deeply, encouraging experiences of self-selection and decision-making.
  • Teachers also learn with students, acting as companions and facilitators.

The Entire Campus is a Stage for Play and Exploration

  • With its distinctive silhouette, the Yumenomori campus serves as a symbol of Okuma Town.

    Designed as a creative hub for children aged 0 to 15 and adults alike, the entire campus is a space for play and inquiry. Located in the Ogawara Reconstruction Base area, it provides a gathering place for children and community members, embodying the spirit of renewal and creativity.

  • A Unique Building Shape Created with Triangular Frames

    By combining triangular steel frames, the building achieves both earthquake resistance and a one-of-a-kind, dynamic design. Features such as deep terraces under cohesive, extended eaves create a seamless connection between indoor, semi-outdoor, and outdoor spaces, fostering a liberating and flexible learning environment.
