SHUBUN UNIVERSITY JUNIOR COLLEGE

The Department of Early Childhood Education with over a half century of history has produced over 20,000 childcare specialists from foundation year, and has continued on developing young childcare providers based on our traditional education systems.
After entering our institution, students start to certify learning experience as a childcare giver, and advance to experience field practice in order to become a certified childcare worker, one who is full of a sense of mission, practical leadership, and team spirit. We aim at developing reliable childcare providers, those loved by not only the children but their parents in the region as well.

The Department of Living Culture provides four educational programs where students simultaneously develop their specialty, and the culture and manners of each program. We hope all the students, accompanied by friends with the same dream, spend a short but fulfilling two-year term with our instructors who are passionate within their teaching fields. Furthermore, we hope our students study hard alongside with friendly competition here.
