Nationwide Expansion of 'Tetoteru,' a Reservation Management System for Temporary Childcare Developed from Frontline Feedback

Jusen Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture; CEO: Shota Abuta), a company dedicated to child-rearing support services, announces the full-scale launch of 'Tetoteru,' a reservation management system specifically designed for childcare facilities, starting June 2026 across Japan. The system will be available to non-certified childcare facilities, daycare centers, kindergartens, and certified daycare centers nationwide.

'Tetoteru' digitizes and automates reservation management tasks previously handled via paper and phone, significantly reducing the administrative burden on childcare workers. Already tested in over 100 facilities nationwide, the system has proven effective in streamlining operations. With intuitive operation and low-cost implementation, 'Tetoteru' enables childcare staff to spend more quality time with children.

## Background: Challenges Identified from Operating a Real-World Daycare

The company operates 'Happiness,' a temporary childcare center in Fukuoka Prefecture. Temporary childcare allows parents to leave their children for short periods, offering vital flexibility for urgent errands or personal time.

However, managing temporary childcare is complex due to varying daily enrollments, individual documentation, slot coordination, and diverse fee calculations—leading to significant staff burden. Drawing from direct operational experience, Jusen developed 'Tetoteru' with a design uniquely tailored to temporary childcare, addressing needs unmet by generic systems.

## Four Key Features of 'Tetoteru'

- Field-Driven Design: Developed by actual childcare operators, fully specialized for the complexities of temporary childcare.
- Simple Operation & Low Cost: Intuitive interface allows quick adoption even by staff unfamiliar with IT, supporting operational efficiency.
- Safe and Secure Childcare Support: Ensures safe child intake procedures even amid severe staffing shortages through systematization.
- Nationwide Facility Compatibility: Can be adopted by non-certified childcare centers, daycare centers, kindergartens, and certified daycare centers.

## Features That Make Parents Want to Return

Beyond facility efficiency, 'Tetoteru' enhances the parent experience.

### Photo-Enhanced Care Reports

Staff can send real-time updates with photos through the app. Parents can check their child's status instantly on their smartphones, with many reporting, 'I feel at ease knowing my child is safe,' and 'Receiving photos makes me look forward to using the service again.'

Photos and records are stored in the app, allowing parents to review them like a growth journal. Many users report, 'I realized it became a record of my child's growth,' fostering regular app usage and stronger emotional connection to the facility.

### Automated Pre-Visit Reminders

Automatic reminders are sent to parents the day before their reservation, reducing no-shows due to forgetfulness and stabilizing facility utilization. This also eliminates the need for staff to manually confirm appointments.

These features have led to an increase in positive Google reviews for facilities using 'Tetoteru,' contributing to new parent acquisition.

## Parent Testimonials (from Google Reviews)

Facilities using 'Tetoteru' have received numerous positive responses from parents:

- 'We use the service twice a week. The staff are friendly and very approachable. Receiving photo updates through the care report is something I look forward to every time. Booking via the app is also easy and convenient.' (★5, Google Review)

- 'Easy booking through the app and photo updates on my child’s day—this made me feel completely at ease leaving my child here!' (★5, Google Review)

- 'Both booking and initial registration were simple and truly helpful. The detailed photo reports and attentive service actually exceeded what we experienced at our previous daycare, and my daughter enjoys going!' (★5, Google Review)

## Pricing and Implementation

'Tetoteru' requires no initial setup fee and can be implemented as quickly as the same day. Starting at ¥2,640 (tax included) per month, the pricing is accessible even for small-scale facilities.

Payment options include credit card and bank transfer. The implementation process is completed in three simple steps: plan selection, payment registration, and facility registration. With a user-friendly design suitable for IT-inexperienced staff and comprehensive post-implementation support, adoption is seamless.

A free online consultation session is available. Within approximately 15 minutes, we provide tailored guidance based on your facility’s needs. Facilities considering adoption but unsure where to start are welcome to consult with us.
