The Chao Kindergarten is a place where the player can access various facilities related to Chao. It appears in Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle.

Locations[]

Black Market[]

Main article: Black Market

The Black Market is a place where items for Chao can be bought, including fruit, masks, and eggs. Players can buy various items for their Chao, such as fruits, seeds, accessories and eggs in return for rings. The store's stock refreshes once in a while and has better options as more Emblems are collected. Players can also sell items for rings.

Classroom[]

The Chao Classroom is a place where Chao are taught various subjects. These include singing, dancing, drawing, and playing musical instruments. The player can leave up to four Chao as they learn the subject currently being taught in class, after which they cannot be taken back until the lesson is finished.

After the lesson is completed, when returned to the garden, the Chao will periodically exhibit what they learned. Apart from drawing, this can attract nearby Chao to listen, observe and/or emulate their behavior, assuming they too have also been taught accordingly.

Principal's room[]

The Principal's Office is where the player can access a menu of Help/Tips regarding the Chao Kindergarten and Chao raising in general.

Health Center[]

The Doctor's Office is where a Chao can be checked up for its health. The player can check the brought Chao's favorite food, the number of awards they have received, their age, how much reincarnations they have undergone, their stats and their stat grade. If the Chao gets sick (which is considerably rare), they may be brought to the doctor to cure it.

Fortune-Telling House[]

The Chao Fortune Teller is a psychic Chao who gives the Chao currently being carried a name. The player can also choose to name their own Chao here if they dislike the fortune teller's names.

Trivia[]
