Kindergarten Support System + Bus Catch Exceeds 3,000 Facilities

VISH Inc. (Headquarters: Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture; Representative Director: Hiroyuki Tabuchi) announced that the number of facilities adopting its ICT system "Kindergarten Support System + Bus Catch," which supports operational efficiency for kindergartens, nursery schools, and certified childcare centers, exceeded 3,000 as of April 1, 2026. This milestone is not merely the achievement of a numerical target, but rather the result of accumulated trust with the teachers and staff who have continuously used the system on-site every day. We recognize this as the very journey of gradually realizing our company's mission, "Bringing comfort and smiles to everyone," together with the frontline. We express our sincere gratitude.

This achievement of surpassing 3,000 facilities is supported by the high evaluation and trust from the field, continuously assessed in daily kindergarten operations, with a continuous usage rate of 99.5% and 60.2% of new contracts coming from referrals by existing facilities.

15 Years of Walking Together with On-Site Voices

The "Kindergarten Support System + Bus Catch" service began in December 2010 and will celebrate its 15th anniversary in December 2025.

What we have consistently valued over these 15 years is to be a presence that continuously supports on-site operations and challenges, and remains indispensable.

Each function, such as absence/lateness notifications, attendance/extended childcare management, bus operation management, billing, and cashless payment support, has been repeatedly improved based on feedback from adopting facilities.

The Value Shown by "Continued Use" After Implementation

We have always aimed to be a supporter that gently accompanies daily kindergarten operations, thinks together, and improves together.

Currently, the continuous usage rate remains high at 99.5%, with many facilities using our service for a long period.

This is the result of being evaluated as an "indispensable presence" in daily kindergarten operations, and it is our greatest encouragement.

It's not just about implementation and done; it's about continuously evolving in response to changes on the ground.

This accumulation has led to the milestone of surpassing 3,000 facilities.

To Continue Being an ICT that Stays Close to the Field

VISH Inc. will continue to contribute to reducing the workload and improving the quality of early childhood education and childcare sites through the "Kindergarten Support System + Bus Catch."

Utilizing accumulated operational data and on-site usage trends, we are continuously improving functions and renewing the system in a way that stays close to daily kindergarten operations.

・Renewal of the Parent Communication App

We have reviewed the screen configuration and operability to make communication with parents clearer and more reliable.

・Renewal of the Administration Screen

The screen design has been improved to follow the flow of daily tasks, allowing teachers to perform their work as intuitively as possible.

・Addition of AI-powered Support Function for Creating Child Development Records

Development is underway to reduce the burden of record creation while supporting the organization and reflection of each child's growth.

These functions have been gradually refined into the necessary forms by listening to on-site voices, thinking together, and adapting.

We are continuously reviewing the system to improve usability and reliability while staying close to daily kindergarten operations.

Furthermore, regarding the use of AI, instead of replacing teachers' judgments or tasks, we aim to provide support that creates "comfort" in daily operations by becoming a presence that thinks and supports together as a member of the team.

As a functional evolution made possible by 15 years of walking alongside on-site voices, we will continue to nurture "Kindergarten Support ICT that can be used with peace of mind."
