Kataguruma Inc. (Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director/CEO: Hiroaki Otake) is pleased to announce the re-broadcast, due to popular demand, of its free webinar for management and principals of childcare facilities, "Unraveling the 'Mechanism of Revenue and Expenditure' in Daycare Centers from Public Pricing — Tips for Balancing Appropriate Staffing and Labor Costs —" on two days, Tuesday, May 12, 2026, and Thursday, May 28, 2026.
◆ Background: Complicating Public Pricing and the Deepening Dilemma of "Labor Costs"
Currently, while childcare sites are seeing revisions to staffing standards and improvements in treatment by the Children and Families Agency, rising material costs and increasing recruitment costs are pressuring management. The concerns "We want to maintain generous staffing, but how can we suppress the rise in the labor cost ratio?" and "The additional items in public pricing are complex, making it difficult to judge if our facility's revenue and expenditure balance is appropriate" are pressing issues common to many managers.
In this webinar, Shuji Yanagi of Fukushi Soken Co., Ltd., who has experience as a childcare worker and principal and has conducted over 1,400 third-party evaluations, will be invited as a lecturer. He will demystify the financial logic behind the system and the "financial and labor preparations" that should be undertaken now in anticipation of future system revisions.
◆ Feedback from previous participants (excerpt from survey)
・"As a certified children's garden, I was anxious about overpaying for improved treatment. By comparing with the materials, I gained a perspective for objectively judging my facility's balance of revenue and expenditure." (Certified children's garden, management)
・"Improving the labor cost ratio was not currently achievable, but after listening to the training, I felt motivated to re-evaluate the relationship between consignment fees and labor costs." (Daycare center with 55 children, principal)
・"After becoming a principal and studying on my own, there were many parts I didn't clearly understand. By learning the essence of 'revenue and expenditure mechanisms' that are hard to ask about, it led to skill improvement." (New principal)
◆ Main contents of this seminar
・Understanding the balance of revenue and expenditure in daycare centers from the structure of public pricing
・Financial perspective for optimizing "staffing standards" and "labor cost ratio"
・Financial and labor preparations in anticipation of future changes in the institutional environment
