Kodomoiro, which operates child developmental support and after-school day services, has reviewed its work style, education system, and organizational structure to further stabilize the quality of its support. Starting April 2026, annual holidays will be expanded from 119 to 120 days, a dedicated education system will be established, and a general manager will be appointed. These measures aim to build a support system that does not rely on individual experience or intuition.
■ To support the quality of support with a "system"
In the field of child developmental support and after-school day services, the quality of support often depends on the individual experience and ability of staff, leading to inconsistencies in how children are engaged. To address this challenge and achieve "support quality that does not depend on individuals," we believe it is necessary to comprehensively organize work style, education, and organization.
This initiative is part of a redesign process to consistently improve the quality of support as a unified system, rather than improving each aspect in isolation.
■ 120 Annual Holidays: Sustainable work styles support quality of support
Kodomoiro believes that creating an environment where staff can work with peace of mind for a long time ultimately leads to improved quality of support. Therefore, starting April 2026, annual holidays will be expanded from 119 to 120 days.
The goal is not merely to increase the number of holidays, but to allow for more flexibility in daily tasks, thereby enhancing the time spent with each child and the quality of judgment.
■ Establishment of a Dedicated Education System: A system to progressively enhance support capabilities
To stabilize the quality of support, an environment is needed where each staff member can learn and practice based on a common foundation. Kodomoiro has organized the necessary skills for developmental support into the following three stages and has established an education system with four dedicated staff members:
・Child assessment (understanding child's development and emotional state)
・Fundamentals of childcare/education (foundation of interaction)
・Practice of developmental support (individual and small group adjustments)
By building these stages progressively, we aim to ensure that support does not lean solely on techniques but becomes firmly established as interaction grounded in a solid foundation. Furthermore, training content that was previously partially dependent on external providers will be increasingly internalized with an increase in the number of hours for education staff, creating a system where learning can be deepened in a way that is directly linked to daily support. In addition, environmental settings and individual responses are not treated as special techniques but are seen as naturally derived from understanding the child and basic interactions.
■ Appointment of General Manager: Horizontally supporting quality across multiple centers
When operating multiple centers, inconsistencies can arise in on-site judgments and support directions. Especially as the number of business locations increases, it becomes crucial to maintain a common support philosophy and judgment criteria as a corporation, while valuing the flexible responses of each site.
To address this challenge, Kodomoiro, foreseeing a system of 12 business locations in May 2026, has appointed a "General Manager" to oversee multiple blocks and support support policies and operational judgments across them. This position is above the block leaders who manage 3-4 business locations. This aims to organize and share common support philosophies and judgment criteria across the entire organization, while maintaining the flexibility of each site, thereby sustaining consistent quality of support.
■ Kodomoiro's Philosophy: Developmental support is "special, yet not special"
Kodomoiro does not view developmental support as something separate and special, but rather as an extension of child-rearing valued in nurseries, kindergartens, and elementary schools. In this sense, developmental support is connected to daily interactions that foster a child's growth. However, even within the same flow of growth, each child's developmental stage, emotional state, difficulties, and perception of the environment differ. Therefore, in developmental support, it is important to carefully assess each child's situation and intentionally create interactions and environments tailored to that child.
In other words, while the foundation of growth is common, developmental support involves adjusting interactions and environments for each individual child. The purpose of this initiative is to realize this philosophy not by relying solely on individual intuition, but through an established education system and organizational structure.
■ Future Outlook
Kodomoiro will continue to enhance the quality of support by integrally reviewing its work style, education, and organizational structure. We aim to create a safe environment for all staff, children, and parents, and to realize developmental support where a consistent quality is maintained regardless of who is involved.
