Y Sapo (Yokohama City Childcare and Education Quality Improvement Supporter)
In Yokohama City, in order to secure and improve the quality of childcare throughout the city, based on past efforts such as the "Yokohama ☆ Childcare and Education Declaration", not only our own garden but also local neighborhood gardens We are working to develop human resources who contribute to securing and improving the quality of childcare. In fiscal 2023, we launched the Yokohama City Childcare and Education Quality Improvement Supporter Project (Y Support Project). Y Sapo is a human resource who visits other gardens and supports childcare along with consultation and implementation of in-park training and open childcare planning. In the Y Sapo business, we will nurture practitioners who support each other while learning from each other from the same perspective as the childcare workers they visit.

What is “Y” in Y Sapo?
Y-sapo's "Y" is of course "YOKOHAMA" Y.
“YOKO (from the side)” refers to the same childcare practitioner.
While supporting
Everyone talks about childcare and the appearance of children.
It represents the goal of Y Sapo.
