From the Slopes to the Playroom

Until he retired in 2016, Kentaro Yoshioka was a professional snowboarder and Japan's national champion. Now, he manages a small-scale daycare center in Sapporo, Hokkaido, that looks after children between 0 and 3 years old. Since making this dramatic career change, Yoshioka has been aiming for the top in childcare as well. In the 10 months since the facility opened, he has done whatever he can to make his daycare center the best in Japan. One activity he has organized uses his background as a professional athlete to help the children develop their athletic abilities. However, his tendency to leap straight into action when he gets an idea sometimes causes headaches for other staff members.
