In this paper, I reviewed the historical development of children with special needs for childcare, from the 1950s to the 1970s in Japan. I particularly focused on a nursery in a special-needs school, a disabled center, and a general nursery school, as the primary nursery institutions. In conclusion, from the postwar years to the 1970s, tracking systems were developed to determine a child’s degree of disability, so that the severely disabled children went to disabled centers, while the children with mild disabilities attended general nursery schools.
