スタッフ紹介

<美貴枝先生　Ms. Stapleton Mikie>
ハンドルネーム「たろうかじゃ」、正真正銘の園長先生！日本で様々な種類の保育や幼児教室を経験し、次時代の子どもたちを育てるに「世界視野を広げる保育」が不可欠ではと感じた。おてんば「たろうかじゃ」の名のとおり、 海外に飛び出し、アメリカの保育免許も取得し、ヨーロッパの保育や多言語教育にも見識を広めて行く。いつも新しいことを考え、たくらんでいる。 ついに、2009年、ロサンゼルスにオリジナルデザインの園舎を完成させている。たろうかじゃ園長、世界の視野を広げる保育は、終わりのない旅だと本人、今も新しいたくらみで毎日目がキラキラ。
