School Readiness Program for Children with Foreign Roots
Sumitomo Riko, in collaboration with the Komaki International Association, operates a "School Readiness Program" (preschool) for children with foreign roots living in Komaki City, Aichi Prefecture, who are preparing to enter elementary school.
This preparatory school aims to help preschool-aged children with foreign roots smoothly adapt to life in Japanese elementary schools by teaching them the Japanese reading and writing skills, as well as the rules of daily life, required for the school environment. The classes are conducted by citizen volunteers who step into the role of instructors after learning teaching methods and key points regarding the creation of educational materials during a training course held between summer and winter.
Sixty-four children participated in this program, which marked its 16th year in fiscal 2025.
Sumitomo Riko intends to continue this initiative—which brings smiles to children's faces—in the hope that it will contribute, even in a small way, to their happy school lives and healthy growth.
