It's very cute that Paolo and Maiko miss Wolfy so much on school days that they want to pick him up early! 😄 Every child should grow up in such a loving family. ❤

I taught preschool in the US for twenty years and the kids are required to bring blankets to sleep on. However, the parents didn’t have to sew bands on them. That’s a bit too much! Wolfy seemed very cheerful and excited but you guys looked exhausted. 😂 Don’t worry too much. I’m sure that he will adjust well. He’s such a sweet little guy🥰🥰

Yup that’s how it was for my daughter and her preschool. I have heard some that require you to write names on even their diapers/pull ups tho! 😅

Maiko realizing that Wolfy said "thank you" for the first time was so cute. I am also very proud of Wolfy's milestones as he's growing up.

I've seen that Maiko takes such good care of her health with supplements and her routine. Would you guys be able to show some of what she does? I :) Love all of your content on this channel and Paolo from Tokyo!

7:54 Wolfy can be really funny some times. He knew what he was doing as well. But he's still cute.

As a new mom, It would be super interesting to see Wolfy dietary routine and how you guys organise/cook/freeze his food. The baby shower video was super helpful for us who are parents or parents to be :)

I would really want to see an updated “what you feed Wolfe” now and what key Japanese baby food staples you keep in the pantry. The previous video was so helpful!!

Hey, you may never read this, but I just wanted to say that you three are really a perfect little family. I started to watch your videos on your other channel, a few months ago I discovered your second channel and now I nearly watched every video. Thank you for letting us take part of your daily life, it really means very much for me and your videos will ever be one of the best things you can find on KZread! Greetings to Japan from Germany!

My two year old here in Norway got all her clothing tagged with here name at kindergarten. But she also have a closet and at the changing room (diapers room), a draw with diapers. We don't tag diapers only clothes. Cool video. It's so fun watching how similar we are 🙂

I have twins and I always had to send 2 sets of clothes and a pair of extra shoes to daycare just in case. Extra expense for sure, but, my husband and I both work full time in IT and my twins love their daycare. Now they're in elementary school, so it's not quite this involved. The days are long, the years are short.

You'll be able to exhale in a few years. With a toddler, it's rough for a while, but I promise you it gets much better! He is such a precious boy.

I have taught Montessori for 25 years in the US and we have them bring an extra pair of shoes to keep the classroom clean. I wonder if it similar to that. Excellent vlog, I can not wait to see how you all like the school.

In Singapore, children will leave their shoes in their shoe cubbys outside. The children and teachers don't wear shoes indoors.

Wolfy is going to do amazingly well. You are going to be okay Mom and Dad. He can do it. Cheering him on!

Before they go to new ground, it is best to see the kids coming in and out, and playing in the schoolyard. Your Newby will need some cues before the starting day.

This is so cute! Congratulations on getting the new nursery placement! Honestly dw about wolfy- kids are actually very quick to adapt 🥰 Also it's so interesting to see how much you have to prep for preschool... I think when I was growing up, mum and dad just dropped me off with nothing hahaha 🤣🤣 maybe just my lunch

You guys make beautiful children 🥰 What a nice little family 🌷🫶

We are in a similar situation with our daughter! She will be switching daycares this fall - she'll be around the age Wolfy was when he switched too, so I'm interested to see this! We love out current smaller daycare but she finally got a spot in a more "educational", bigger daycare that's also closer to our home. I'm excited but not looking forward to having her "integrate" in a new daycare, with half-days and such! It's such a pain for our work schedule, as you said. We'll get through it too! It's what's best for her :) I've never seen the towels thing - the new daycare will provide (and clean) the mattress covers for the naps. I'm very glad!

WOW ! Your little man is Growing ! Prays for you family IN JAPAN thank you so kindly to share and teach!! Prayers for you Little family !!!

Eager to see the continuation of this video, as I mentioned before, I enjoy watching your family, Paolo, Maiko & Wolfy❤️❤️❤️

Awww, good luck little man. I love how sweet and engaged your precious family is. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. You are cared about all over the world!

8:09 that was so cutee i kept replaying it🥰

Enjoy your videos, never too long 🙂 Hope you all did okay w/the school process & adjusted well.

nurseries in Australia have mini sheets to put into the beds and are changed and washed after every use, even during covid times. for the money people pay to send their child to daycare, I think it should be included. nappies are also included so the only thing parents have to bring are spare clothes, a water bottle and blankies if the child wants one

After watching your videos i wish my kids pre k would require a lot of the items it would have made them going a lot easier. Especially the towels and the names on the diapers.

the bringing your own daipers thing baffles me. Here its simply included in the price, saves everyone a lot of trouble and effort.

I remember when my mom had to write our names on our school stuff in marker. I love the idea of a stamp, very smart!

Being a parent is the hardest and the sweetest job. I know he did great!

Ahw Wolfy is just so cute 😍🥰 I cannot to wait to know how his first day in the new nursery was 😊

Wow so much involved. My boy just started day care in Australia. We just drop nappies off when needed and I just leave the whole box. Formula/pumped milk and a change of clothes and they provide everything else. Bibs, sunscreen, hats, baby wipes etc. I do feel pretty fortunate. It’s stressful enough with a 1 year old.

I hope Wolfy had a great first day!

It appears Japan cares about preparing for everything and that is awesome.

Since i am now wolfy new fan... so please make day in a life Wolfy while in nursery. He is so cute..... sending a virtual hug from indonesia😍😍

I was a preschool teacher in the US and we provided them the sheet that covered their sleeping may and they did bring their own blankets

I live in Valencia, Spain. I work in a British school in Nursery (3-4 year olds) they have to bring in a bedsheet with the 4 elastics too 🙂

We also ask for spare shoes that are left at school ☺️

It is my first time hearing Paolo speaking japanese, so cool!

Wolfie+s just the cutest ever!

As a preschool teacher I like the idea of having that extra pair of emergency shoes. My guess would be that they want them in case of potty accidents. There have been many times where a kid has had a pee accident that's gone down their legs and into their shoes. When that happens you have to do the best you can to wash out the shoes, then dig through our collection of extra shoes hoping that you can find a pair that fits.

When I was in kindergarten the provided mattresses for me and my classmates to sleep. So we had to bring mattresses covers. For the shoes it’s kind of like Japan. We have to put our shoes in like little cupboards. Also in my kindergarten there were also different age groups for childrens.

Shame you too look exhausted, as expected with any one year old. Good luck with everything and all the best to Wofly💚🌺☘️❤.

Awesome video!!!

IMPORTANT AND LOVELY MOMENTS ❤

Anything 👶Wolfy related is great!! 😍 Wished your channel had more 👶Wolfy and less of Paolo and his "I dont-know🤷‍♂️, I think? Let us know👨‍🏫" comments.

Loved the video. Sadly, when setting up a 6 month Kiwi Crate for our 5 year old granddaughter, the discount code wasn’t valid. Happily, Kiwi Crate was kind enough to gift us the first month. Much appreciated!

He is so sweet!! 🥰

we had those cots in kindergarten too here in Germany, at least when i was a child! We had to bring blankets tho, not towels :9

In New Zealand the centre provides the bed sheets and bibs.

On the KiwiCo information, if you could reduce the volume of your background music a bit 🤭 , it would be easier to pay attention to what your saying. Cool company by the way! 😁👍

The stringent rules for your little one's nursery is admittedly excessive. Kudos to you for grinning and bearing with it. I hope Wolfy is enjoying his new nursery and making heaps of friends. Cheers for sharing!

Hi! Could you explain in the future of what you meant by “getting accepted into nursery school”? How exactly do they get accepted? Like on what basis since it cannot really be academic since they’re toddlers 😭. And how can they not get accepted, is it biased towards foreigners? Need to know all this for the future! Thank you 🙏🏽

I am from the Czech Republic. When I went to kindergarten (2005-2007), the only things I had to bring with me were slippers and an apron. The only requirements for a child is that they can no longer use diapers and they must be able to tie their shoelaces. Right in the nursery they had their own little mattress with a duvet and pillow, so the parents didn't have to worry about anything.

The @11:13 私の妻が失敗した teasing/banter was so cute to see ☺️

Here in the US, I think it's very heavily dependent on your area and poverty rates for different rules or expectations. In "nicer" areas with "nice" schools (i.e. wealthier areas that are less ethnically diverse), you might be required to have shoes, plus an extra pair. In lower income areas, there isn't any shoe requirement, you wear what's on your feet. How I've experienced it as a parent is more wealthy people are more comfortable with more extras. In a poorer school, the kids go on a field trip wearing whatever they have on. If a school has money, you'll see all those kids wearing matching special shirts the school creates, plus maybe hats and sunscreen. Income levels greatly affect the school experience. As far as sewing bands on towels- in America, you'd never do that because every last tiny thing is monetized. There is such a heavy emphasis on buying things that the vast majority of people don't make ANYTHING themselves. You go to the store and buy it. In fact, it feels rare for a person to even think of making something themselves, honestly. I make things myself and sew and people think this is crazy or something. One last thing- here in America, where I live, there is a LITERAL 3 year waiting period for people to get into what they call "Universal Pre-K". This is school like nursery school. It's considered better for children as it is educational and kids who go to them do far better than peers. In many cases, it's not even a wait list, it's a "lottery." You go on a list to get the opportunity to do a lottery and those who get chosen get to go to the program. If you don't get to place your child in the Universal Pre-K, you have to pay for private school. This can be VERY expensive (something like $2000 US a month for younger kids). Daycare (which is only a person watching your child, but no guarantee of education, and some daycares have kids watch TV a lot of the day) is necessary to keep parents working, but most daycare also costs about $250+ a week for an older child and almost $2000 a month for infants to toddler aged children. In America, there is also no paid maternity leave guaranteed, no guaranteed paternity leave. So a woman would give birth, immediately try to get her child into a wait list when they're born, adjust to life becoming a parent, have to possibly go back to work shortly after giving birth (some women cannot afford to stay home at all- they use ALL of their sick time, then paid vacation days (but some people don't even get that) before they're able to use a couple of weeks of UNPAID leave). Then, they have to repay the high hospital costs of giving birth (WITH insurance, it's THOUSANDS of dollars to give birth and tens of thousands if you have something like a c-section). When it's finally time for preschool, parents are so incredibly stressed if they didn't have a lot of money saved up before having kids and if they cannot afford private nursery and they cannot get into Universal Pre-K, they don't go to school at all until the child is 5-6. For many people, this is normal, but there is also a reason children don't learn manners, etiquette, and how to be a part of a society in their first couple of years of school like in Japan. Here, test scores are so important, they jump straight to academics and test scores.

Wow - the rules seems … cumbersome but as you said … when In Rome …

Hello there✋👋✋👋✋👋.. Good to see you..

Sorry you had to change school so early, zebra family..

Having worked at a preschool I can tell you it's surprising how often kids manage to pee on their own shoes. Then of course, there's things like mud, vomit, etc.

Is it common for kids to start nursery school before they're potty trained? Maybe so in Japan, but is it the case elsewhere?

​@@ponyexpress2724 I am in South Korea and I've been here for a few years now. Even in places like Nebraska and California both places I have previously worked in my travels you can certainly find "educational daycares" or something named along those lines that essentially function as a preschool. Of course, many American daycares are just some minimally supervised box you toss you kids in but, not all. This unfortunately requires both money and research on the parents part due to the way the US approaches preschool although, that's basically the case here too, but not all nations do it like this, some even have universal public preschool with proper curricula. In the states some Preschools are also attached to daycares that have a full curriculum for every group with age divisions like PreK is 3-5, Toddlers 2-3, Pretods 1.5-2.5 (depending on a few factors), Older infants-the lines often blur here- and infants. With a few items like requirements a child must meet before "graduating" to the next group such as toddlers must be potty trained before they can move to Preschool. Of course, accidents still happen especially with the 3 year olds, and you get things like peed on shoes.
