Kids Leaf, a home-visit sick child care service operated by Gajumaru no Ki LLC (Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Higashi Ward, Hakozaki, Representative: Fumiya Nakano), has signed a corporate contract with Halekulani Aloha Dental Clinic for Pediatric and Orthodontic Dentistry.

This initiative aims to support staff raising children during sudden child health issues and to foster a more supportive work environment in dental practices.

Background of Implementation

Sudden fevers or health problems in children often occur the night before or the morning of, requiring working parents to take sudden leave, leave early, or adjust their work schedules.

In medical and dental settings, in particular, daily operations are directly linked to appointment scheduling, patient care, and staff allocation. Therefore, sudden absences of childcare staff can impact the stable operation of the entire practice.

On the other hand, there are cases where parents wish to use sick child care services but cannot do so at the necessary time due to the burden of transportation or limitations in reservation slots.

Kids Leaf provides sick child care through home visits by childcare staff, offering children a safe and comfortable environment in their familiar surroundings, and supporting parents in continuing their work.

About Kids Leaf's Sick Child Care

Kids Leaf is a home-visit sick child care service covering the entire Fukuoka City area and the vicinity of Kasugabaru Station and Kasuga Station. It serves children from 4 months old to the 6th grade of elementary school, with childcare staff visiting their homes to provide care.

As of the end of April 2026, Kids Leaf has responded to 940 cases of sudden fevers with a 100% response rate since October 2023.

Childcare hours are weekdays from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Services are available for conditions such as influenza, RSV, and streptococcal pharyngitis.

The corporate plan is offered as a welfare benefit to support staff raising children, targeting companies, medical institutions, and welfare facilities.

It can be used by even one employee, and the cost-sharing for membership fees, monthly fees, and usage fees can be flexibly set according to each corporation's budget and system design.

Representative's Comment

When a child suddenly develops a fever, parents often struggle between the desire to be with their child and the anxiety of causing trouble for their workplace.

This is especially true in fields like healthcare, welfare, childcare, education, and service industries, where it's difficult to halt operations. The burden falls not only on the staff member raising children but also on the entire workplace.

By creating a reliable option for childcare during illness, Kids Leaf aims for a society where parents can make choices that suit their circumstances without having to sacrifice either work or childcare.

We hope that this introduction as a welfare benefit for staff raising children will lead to the expansion of home-visit sick child care as a new form of welfare for companies, medical institutions, and welfare facilities in Fukuoka.

Future Outlook

Kids Leaf plans to expand its corporate home-visit sick child care plan, primarily in Fukuoka City, targeting workplaces where sudden absences can significantly impact operations, such as medical institutions, dental clinics, welfare facilities, childcare and educational institutions, and service industries.

Sudden child health issues can happen to any family. Therefore, by providing sick child care as a corporate welfare benefit, companies can enhance employee peace of mind, reduce turnover, improve recruitment capabilities, and ensure stable operations.

Kids Leaf aims to become a regional infrastructure that supports the balance between work and childcare, striving for a society where having a reliable support system in times of need is the norm, and promoting the adoption of home-visit sick child care.
