Within each child exists a fine adult. It is important that we speak to that adult.
and student grow and develop together.
These words from the final lines of the Soka Kindergarten School Song encapsulate the vision and mission of Soka Kindergarten dedicated to value-creating (“Soka”) humanistic education.
Envisioning our children to enjoy learning and growing their boundless potential, the School’s mission aims to provide a safe and conducive environment where we develop joyful and responsible early learners who grow to be of contribution to society. The three-year preschool experience aims to facilitate the child’s holistic development, and inculcate positive social, emotional and cultural values, alongside the child’s acquisition of literacy and numeracy skills.
Soka Kindergarten adopts “Strong, Righteous and Free” as our School Motto. For the children, this translates as values of perseverance, honesty and respect. Together with the children, all teachers and staff strive in their respective areas of responsibilities to acquire and demonstrate these same values.
In conjunction with November 18, 2008 – the anniversary marking the starting point of Soka education – School Founder Dr Ikeda presented the Soka kindergartens of Sapporo, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Brazil and South Korea with a new motto in the following three maxims. They concisely express the Founder’s wish for the children to possess these values for a life of victory and happiness.
Those who never give up, no matter what, are happy.
Always get along well as members of the same family.
Those who treasure their parents will become great people.
These maxims have become the cornerstones of the growth and development of students at Soka Kindergarten.
