Responsibility (b) says a nursery owes the people around it something specific: an explanation of what it's actually doing.

The last of the six methods turns your attention from the child in the room to the family they go home to. Japan's Childcare Guidelines, in plain English.

A new section opens here — the nursery's responsibility to society. It starts with the most basic claim of all: a child has rights.

The last of the four environment guidelines closes the loop: the environment isn't just furniture. It's who's in it.

Environment (a) opens a new section of the guidelines — and it starts with a single word: themselves. Japan's Childcare Guidelines, in plain English.

Environment (b) pairs two words that don't usually sit together: rich activity, and hygiene and safety. Japan's Childcare Guidelines, in plain English.

Environment (c) asks the classroom to hold two feelings at once — cozy, and alive. Japan's Childcare Guidelines, in plain English.

Method (e) is the longest of the six — and it's the closest thing to a job description this section has. Japan's Childcare Guidelines, in plain English.

Method (d) is about group activities — but it starts with something more basic: how children treat each other inside them.

Method (c) asks you to understand development, then throw out the idea that every child should hit it at the same time.
