息子を授かり、男の子ってこんな風に遊ぶんだ！
こんな風に感じるんだ！
初めての経験に毎日心を揺さぶられました。
毎日楽しかった。

自分が男の子になって、もう一度
子ども時代をやり直せたような発見と喜びの連続でした。

女の子の可愛さは、生まれる前から知っていた通り！
二人の子育てに夢中になりました。

引っ越しを機に、
お隣の3ヵ月の男の子との時間が始まりました。
もう一度子育てに関われる喜びと幸せに満ちました。

そして離婚。
一人で生きていく決断の中、社長経営塾に就職したのですが
直感的に「本当にやりたいことをやりたい！」と思い
子ども教室を並行して始めました。

その時、お隣の子はちょうど小学新一年生。
お母さんに教室をやることを伝えたら、
「うちの子、お願いします。」と即決。
１人目の生徒さんになってくれました。

その子の同級生の女の子が、
「わたしも通いたい。」と言ってくれました。
「普段自分からそんなこと言わないのに・・」と
お母さんはとても驚いていました。

その二人で始まった、小さな小さなお教室は
今年11年目を迎えました。

お母さん同士の口コミで、子どもたちが入塾してくれています。
最初のクラスの6人も、高校生になった今も、来てくれています。

今はフルタイムで働くお母さんが普通の時代。
どんなに愛情があっても両立は大変。
少しでもママの役に立てればと思っています。

そう思って始めたクラスですが、
今では子ども達一人一人が、
「自分の将来を考え、どんな人生を送るかを自分で決める。」
そのヒントを見つけるクラスを目指しています。

子ども達の成長に応じて、プログラムを考える毎日。
子ども達ひとりひとりが私にインスパイアを与えてくれています。

「子ども達を世界とつなげる。」
それが私の願いであり、ミッションです。

From “Parenting is Fun!"to Connecting Children to the World!

Raising children has changed my life.
When I was blessed with a son,
I thought to myself,
"This is how a boy plays! This is how aboy feels!”
I was moved every day by my first experiences.
Every day was fun.
It was a series of discoveries and joys,
as if I had become a boy and could start my
childhood all over again.
The adorableness of a girl is just as I knew before she was born!
I was enthralled with raising two children.

After moving house,
I had the opportunity to spend time
with my neighbor's 3-month-old boy.
I was filled with joy and happiness to be involved in
parenting once again.

Then came the divorce.
In the midst of my decision to live on my own,
I found a job at the
President's Management School,
and intuitively I thought to myself,
"I want to do what I really want to do!”
and started the children's class at the same time.

At that time,
my neighbor's child was just starting first grade.
When I told the mother that I was going to start the class,
she immediately said, "I want my
child to join the class, too.”
The boy became my first student.

One of his classmates said,
"I want to go to the class, too."
Her mother was very surprised, saying,
"She usually doesn't say such a thing herself.”
This year marks the 11th year of the small,
small class that started with these two students.
Through word of mouth among mothers,
children have been enrolling in the school.
Six children from the first class are still coming to the school now
that they are in high school.

Nowadays, it is common for mothers to work full time.
No matter how much love they have for each other,
it is hard to balance work and school.
I hope I can be of some help to mothers.
That's how we started the class,
but now each child is able to think about their own future
and decide for themselves what kind of life they want to lead.
Our goal is to provide a class
where each child can find hints for that.

Everyday I think about the program
according to the children's growth.
Each child is an inspiration to me.
Connecting children to the world.
That is my wish and mission.
