Abstract
In this paper, I examined in-service training for kindergarten teachers in Pre-War Japan. There were the activities for the kindergarten teachers in the Meiji Period. For example, there were short courses and lecture meetings of various kinds. There's no denying that the in-service training had some systematical problems, but they were effective in the following ways: 1. In Meiji Period, The in-service training connected with a kindergarten teacher's needs because the kindergarten educational-related organization offered those activities. 2. The kindergarten teachers themselves found problems in their actual activities, and shared their knowledge and techniques through mutual conferences and studies. 3. The cooperation of the kindergarten educational-related organizations led to the development of the In-Service Training for kindergarten teachers.
