Outline of Final Research Achievements

A questionnaire survey on the time taken for children, was conducted among licensed private nursery schools that care for infants in H Prefecture. I did the interview investigation to A city, which operates a nursery school station business.
According to the survey results, more than 10% of nursery schools hand over from guardians children at around the schools’ entrance hall or gate during normal school hours. Additionally, the interview revealed that there were issues even though it helps greatly in meeting the needs of parents by eliminating children on waiting lists for nursery schools, reducing the burden for parents that have to shuttle their children, etc.
