Due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, nursery schools and kindergartens across Japan have been closed or refrained from attending school one after another. As a result, children have to spend the day at home, and many parents may be having a very difficult time. A service that may be able to help with these days is the "Online Kindergarten" that we will be introducing. This is a real-time program that is broadcast on the Internet homepage (also available on YouTube) between 10:00 and 14:00 on weekdays. The content is structured according to a daily curriculum supervised by experts, just like a real kindergarten. This article was created based on a news release from Benesse Holdings, Inc., which provides "Online Kindergarten," and a response from the company's brand and public relations department to questions from the BabyTech.jp editorial team.
Using the internet to recreate life as it would be in a "kindergarten
Online Kindergarten" was launched on March 18, 2020 with the aim of providing "a service that allows children to spend their days at home as if they were in kindergarten" using the Internet. The aim of the service is to enrich the daily lives of children who, due to the spread of the new coronavirus, have been forced to spend their days at home, and who may not get enough exercise or have their daily rhythms disrupted. To this end, various contents are provided free of charge according to a "daily flow (timetable)" supervised by experts.

One of the features of "Online Kindergarten" is that it features a repeated section where the lady talks to the children watching the video, so that the children can actively interact with the video and simulate human interaction. In addition, in order to nurture children's "ability to see, hear and think," picture book reading and videos on a wide range of themes were incorporated in a well-balanced manner.
