- ICT SYSTEMS THAT SUPPORT THE WORK OF CHILDCARE WORKERS AT FACILITIES SUCH AS NURSERY SCHOOLS AND KINDERGARTENS
- CONSISTENT SUPPORT FOR VARIOUS OPERATIONS, INCLUDING DOCUMENT PREPARATION, THROUGH ICT
- Quality of childcare is improved by having more time to deal with children
In recent years, the increase in the number of "latent childcare workers" who do not work in childcare even though they are qualified has become a serious problem. One of the reasons for this has been the heavy workload. CoDMON, an ICT system for children's facilities, is close to the childcare workers and contributes greatly to reducing their workload. In the four years since its release, the system has gained the support of many childcare facilities. We spoke with Yoshinori Koike, Representative Director of CoDMON, and Tatsuya Inaba, Director and General Manager of the Development Division, about the company's efforts to further improve the quality of childcare by reducing the workload of childcare workers and improving work efficiency.

To give nursery teachers more time and space to deal with children
Editor: Please tell us about the features of your service.
Koike： Our ICT system for children's facilities, CoDMON (hereinafter referred to as "Codomon"), was released in 2015 as a support service for nursery school teachers working in childcare facilities such as nursery schools and kindergartens, based on the philosophy of "making the environment surrounding children better with the power of technology. It was released in 2015. The number of children waiting to be placed in childcare facilities has been increasing, and the various standards required for childcare have been tightened, resulting in a number of issues such as the normalization of overtime work and low wages. If the working environment and working methods of childcare workers are not made sound, the children will suffer the consequences. In response to these concerns, we have launched a service that specializes in childcare workers, using technology to reduce the burden on childcare workers and change the way they work for the better.
Editor: Do other companies offer similar services?
Koike： There are many similar services, but most of them seem to focus on the communication function between parents and childcare workers rather than on improving the work of childcare workers. Incidentally, I think we are probably the first IT venture to enter this field.
