The results of the survey of parents with children under the age of primary schools who attend childcare facilities showed that the parents "use ICT for childcare (38%)", "do not use ICT for childcare (39%)" and "do not know (23%)", indicating that the level of use of ICT for childcare is less than 40%.
In terms of the level of expectation for the use of ICT in childcare, about 90% of all parents expect to use ICT in childcare, indicating that the majority of parents expect to use ICT in childcare. In particular, 100% of parents who already use ICT for childcare answered that they would like to see ICT for childcare continue to be used, indicating that they feel that ICT for childcare is effective.
The most common benefit that parents felt was that "it is good to be able to check notices and contact books from my phone at any time (e.g., not restricted by time) (65.78%)". The most common response was "It's good to be able to check notices and contact books (no time constraints, etc.) (65.78%). In addition, when asked what they would like to see from ICT in the future, the most common answer was "more information about what is happening at school", followed by "more data recording (as a record of growth)", indicating that they would like to know more about their own children.

We will contribute to reducing the workload of childcare staff by promoting the introduction of ICT in childcare facilities through the free provision of ICT, and at the same time, we will work to develop services that respond to parents' feelings of "I don't want to miss my child's growth and I want to know more about how my child is doing. At the same time, we will continue to develop services that meet the needs of parents who do not want to miss their child's development and want to know more about their child's progress.

Also, more than 60% of parents feel that it is convenient to be able to access information on their smartphones at any time.
