Information for Exhibitors

As childcare needs become more diverse, work at daycare centers is becoming more complex and the burden on childcare workers is becoming heavier.With the use of ICT to facilitate communication and automate information processing gaining attention, we are now calling for product proposals for daycare centers that are working to improve the treatment of childcare workers and the quality of childcare.

In recent years, it has been said that there has been a diversification of issues surrounding the diet of children, who are in a critical period of growth and development, including unbalanced nutrient intake, an increase in childhood obesity, and an increase in underweightness during adolescence.Furthermore, food education is said to have a significant impact on children's physical and mental growth and personality development, and is receiving more attention than ever before.However, food education in nursery schools is becoming exhausting due to a variety of keywords and issues, such as planning food education activities related to school lunches, cost reduction, food digitalization, and sustainable eating habits.

"Childcare human resources" has been highlighted in the media as a major issue in the childcare industry. There are a number of issues, including a shortage of childcare workers and inadequate wages relative to the amount of work they do. In the Human Resources Zone, we are looking for products and services aimed at working childcare workers, such as work efficiency, evaluation systems, employment support, job change support, team building, and welfare services, so please consider exhibiting.

Learning materials refer to materials and tools used to acquire knowledge and skills, and are important for promoting children's growth and learning and supporting healthy physical and mental development. In recent years, they have been attracting attention, with the government creating "preschool education programs" that clarify methods for collaboration between daycare centers, kindergartens, and elementary schools to ensure a smooth transition between preschool and elementary school education, with the aim of helping children in daycare centers and kindergartens adapt to elementary school life.

Play and activity promote physical, cognitive and social development and lay the foundation for developing healthy habits.
Numerous studies have also shown that play and activity contribute to improved academic performance in children.

Therefore, play equipment and toys play an important role in childcare and educational facilities to support the growth of various children. Also, introducing unique play equipment and toys can help differentiate your facility from other facilities. This zone is looking for play equipment and toys for childcare and educational facilities. At the booth, you can experience the "fun," "touch," and "unique ways to use" that cannot be conveyed through catalog listings alone.

"Inclusive childcare" is a system in which all children learn and grow in the same environment, regardless of age, nationality, disability, or developmental differences. It is said that exposure to a variety of races, ages, and developmental differences from an early age fosters diversity, empathy, and social skills. It is also being promoted in childcare and education settings as an important initiative to prevent the isolation of families with minority children, such as those requiring medical care or foreign nationals.However, many issues remain, including a shortage of childcare workers, a lack of specialized knowledge and skills, workload, a lack of facilities at childcare sites, and crisis management measures. In this zone, we are seeking services and products to solve on-site issues in order to realize "inclusive childcare."

This applies to a wide range of childcare-related products and services that do not fall into any of the above zones.
