My name is Yasuko. All the children call me “Yaya”. I am a mum of two daughters. I have a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education & Care and started Sakura Kids FDC in 2016.

I have designed my FDC so that children can learn through play in a bilingual setting, which integrates learning Japanese language, culture and traditions, along with Australian values and customs.

I focus on supporting children to feel safe and secure so that they can explore and grow in a place that is safe and hygienic. It is a positive environment where each child is nurtured and can feel they can be themselves.

My goal is to foster each child’s sense of worth by helping them to develop at their own individual pace, as they learn basic life skills.
