Life Design Kabaya Completes Construction of Asahijuku Kindergarten's New Building

## Completion of Asahijuku Kindergarten's New Facility

Life Design Kabaya Co., Ltd. (Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture) announced its role as the contractor for the new building of the Asahijuku Kindergarten, a kindergarten-type center for early childhood education and care (ECEC) newly constructed by the Asahijuku Gakuen Educational Corporation in Minami-ku, Okayama City. The building was handed over on March 31, 2026, and began full-scale operations on April 24, 2026.

### Facility Features
Constructed as a new base for education and childcare following the transition to an ECEC model, the facility now accepts children aged 0 and 1, combining functions of both a kindergarten and a nursery. The interior of each room features a colorful design concept based on nature and animals, with minimal partition walls to create an open and airy atmosphere. The design incorporates natural light via skylights above the spiral staircase, and uses wood extensively in the eaves and second-floor balcony to provide an environment where children can feel close to nature.

### Contribution to Educational Programs
The Asahijuku Gakuen Educational Corporation integrated the construction of the new facility as part of its educational program. As the construction contractor, Life Design Kabaya supported the program through direct communication, such as hosting site visits and responding to interviews from the children.
