Kanagawa Ward 7

　In November, "Director General People and Town Exploration (outside site)" introduces the childcare volunteer activities of Seisa Gakuen High School Yokohama Port Said School.
　Seisa Gakuen High School Yokohama Port Said School has a childcare major course, and students who wish are volunteering for childcare at the local childcare support base "Kanachie" (outside site) as hands-on training.

　When I asked "Kanachie", the students and small children were playing happily with loud laughter. The children seemed to be happy to be able to play with their older brothers and sisters, and they enjoyed moving and enjoying themselves.
　The activities of Seisa Gakuen High School Yokohama Port Said School have been working at Kanachie for about 10 years, and some graduates who have experienced volunteering at Kanachie have become nursery teachers. It seems that there is.

　The students who listened to the story say that they are looking forward to the activity day at Kanachie. I felt that the time when I realized the child's growth, such as being able to stand and walk, was an important time for the students. Whether you want to be a nursery teacher or a student who is worried about your career, this experience will surely help you decide on the way to go in the future.

　I'm very happy that there are high school students who want to be involved in childcare and volunteer for childcare. I sincerely hope that the experience of "Kanachie" will be an irreplaceable property for students.
