We are participating in 'April Dream: April 1st is Dream Day'.
This press release is the dream of ARIA Co., Ltd.

ARIA Co., Ltd. (Osaka City, CEO: Daisuke Miyazaki), which operates a home nursing station specialized in pediatrics, has received a positive response to the 'NewGate Children's Cafeteria' held for the first time on Sunday, March 15, 2026, and will continue to deploy this event regularly at various locations nationwide. The aim of the event is to provide a place where children living in the area and their families can connect with smiles. It is by no means limited to children requiring medical care or children with developmental characteristics. We will hold 'inclusive children's cafeterias' where all children and families in the community can participate and enjoy themselves, in regions nationwide where our home nursing station bases are located.

In addition to providing free warm meals, we will implement fun programs such as bouncy ball scooping and cotton candy making experiences. Moving forward, we plan to prepare 'exciting prizes' that will make children want to participate, aiming to hold events on a scale of 100 people. With the vision of 'A life full of smiles, true to yourself', and the mission of reforming community medicine through the self-realization of medical professionals, we will provide opportunities and places for local residents to smile and connect.

## Why a Home Nursing Station Hosts a 'Children's Cafeteria'

NewGate conducts over 5,000 cases per month of developmental support for children with developmental characteristics and medical care support for children requiring medical care. While staying close to children and families living at home while receiving medical care and support, we strongly felt the need for 'connections with the community' and 'places where people can gather with peace of mind'. We hope that the 'NewGate Children's Cafeteria' will lower the psychological and physical hurdles for children requiring medical care or support and their families to go out and participate in community events, becoming a safe haven for them.

On March 15, despite being the first time it was held, 55 guests attended, and we received happy feedback. Moving forward, we aim to create a safe place for children and parents to gather not only by providing meals but also through 'play', 'experience', and 'interaction'.

## We Want People to Understand Pediatric Home Nursing Correctly

It is not widely known that pediatric home nursing can be used by many people. Besides developmental support and medical care support, it can also be used for supporting twin childcare aimed at family respite (rest), reducing the caregiving burden, nighttime support, and securing time with siblings.
