● Background of the Donation In recent years, accidents involving children being left behind at childcare facilities have been increasing. According to a survey conducted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government on licensed and certified childcare centers, the number of reported cases was 14 in fiscal 2017, 18 in 2018, 34 in 2019, and 28 in 2020, totaling 94 cases over four years (Asahi Shimbun, February 13, 2022). It is pointed out that since there is no legal obligation to report such incidents, the actual number of cases may be even higher. Coupled with the increasing workload of childcare workers and labor shortages, strengthening safety measures in childcare is an urgent issue shared by local governments and childcare facilities.
