[URL] https://www.senshukai-childcare.jp/hoikuen/facilities/kiyose.html | Senshukai Childcare Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Taito-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Hisako Morishita; hereinafter "Childcare"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Senshukai Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka; Representative Director and President: Satoshi Suzuki; hereinafter "Senshukai"), will open "Egao no Mori Nursery Kiyose," a licensed nursery school, in Kiyose City, Tokyo, on Wednesday, April 1, 2026. With this opening, the Senshukai Group will operate a total of 15 facilities, including 13 licensed nursery schools, 1 corporate-led childcare facility, and 1 private after-school care facility. Senshukai has deepened its collaboration with Kiyose City since 2023, when it signed a "Partnership Agreement for the Promotion of Child-Rearing Support" and provided services to the city. In 2024, it was selected as the operator for a new nursery to be established on Tokyo Metropolitan land as a replacement for the closed Kiyose City Seventh Nursery School, and has been preparing for its opening. For its operation, based on the knowledge gained from childcare sites operated by the Senshukai Group, services such as "Egao no Sensei" and "Toen Sukusuku Bin" will be introduced, which solve on-site issues using product development know-how from the mail-order business. This will reduce the burden on parents and childcare workers, creating "time and peace of mind," and thereby realizing a high-quality childcare environment that closely supports each child.
