Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: Hokkaidoʼs first public kindergarten operated in central Sapporo for the ten yearsfrom September 1888 to March 1898. I previously wrote about the childcare workerKame Nishikawa, who played a central role in managing the kindergarten. (Refer to FujiWomenʼs University Journal No. 49, Section II, pp. 195-201)Given the social conditions in the mid-Meiji era and the educational policies ofHokkaido, it was significant that the public kindergarten existed for those ten years ofdifficult times. This year, I was given information on Hoiku Jikkenroku (ChildcareRecords), written by Kame Nishikawa. The article was covered in the January 1898 issue of the Tokyo Meikeikai Journal (Issue No. 180). In this thesis, I elucidate an unknown feat that she accomplished, based on her actual record. While tracing her strenuous, decadelong efforts, I have attempted to identify the direction she aimed at in childcare services.
