Japanese preschools give their students a strong feeling of being part of a group. One way this feeling is created is with school uniforms. Each preschool has its own uniform, and they vary in design and color. In preschools where the parents cannot afford uniforms, name tags are issued ; these have the child’s family name, given name, preschool name, and name of the class written on them.The children are often collectively called by this class name when the teachers are speaking to them. All of this provides the children with a sense of belonging.
