FY27 Term I Creation Grant [Single-Year Grant Program]
Business Overview
Guru Guru Mix is a creative class where children and adults come together to create "play" through many encounters. Adults of all ages and occupations are involved as staff and guests and communicate with children through play, creating a "mix" environment throughout the year. The program is 2 times a month, 17 times a year, divided into 3 terms according to the children's growth. We respect each child's desire to express himself or herself, and we do not place the obligation to acquire or perfect skills first. We try to create an environment in which children can experience many discoveries and inventions through the whole body, by drawing out their curiosity through the "play process" that attracts them, and by encountering various materials and methods.
