- 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.
