The objective of this paper is to clarify both Minoru Wada's theories on kidergarten teachers, and kindergarten teacher education, and his actual training of kindergarten teachers. Wada is known historically as someone who directed public opinion towards a theory of childcare that advocated spontaneous play by children. He felt that kindergarten teachers shold have the following qualities in order to realize the Inducement Childcare: 1) an honorable personality and be able to exercise positive influence on the children, 2) adequate knowledge and ability to be able to induce the children and 3) a research agenda. Wada opened a school in order to nurture kindergarten teachers with these abilities. Wada's philosophy and practice in training kindergarten teachers had the following significance. Firstly, he proposed an original model of an ideal kindergarten teacher based on contents and methods particular to childcare, which was to induce play. Secondly, he realized a teacher-training course that connected practice with knowledge and skills. Thirdly, he constantly strived to elevate the position and expertise of kindergarten teachers. Fourth, he considered not only early childhood education but also elementary school education, and proposed inducement as an education method necessary for both kindergarten teachers and elementary school teachers. Wada's approach to childcare education was truly innovative in that he envisioned and implemented a training course that connected childcare internships and theoretical lectures, where participants learned inductively from the internships and the experiences of the children. Furthermore, it is also meaningful that he saw childcare in the continuum of elementary school education, and thus tried to correctly position kindergarten teachers in the continuum of elementary school teachers, elevate the position of kindergarten teachers, and attract talented individuals to the childcare sector.
