As screen time continues to rise and urban living becomes more compact, outdoor play has become one of the most essential parts of early childhood education in 2025. At Tokyo Juniors Preschool, we believe that the foundation for healthy growth begins under the open sky—with laughter, movement, and imagination.
The 2025 Shift: Why Parents Are Re-thinking Outdoor Time
Modern parents are becoming increasingly aware of:
- Digital fatigue in toddlers
- The rise in childhood anxiety and restlessness
- Reduced physical activity due to indoor routines
In cities like Ahmedabad, where kids often stay indoors due to weather or safety concerns, preschools with structured outdoor time offer a much-needed balance.
Top Benefits of Outdoor Play for Preschoolers

Running, jumping, and climbing naturally:
