Editor: I see, at the BabyTech® Award Japan 2021, the judges commented that it was wonderful that so many different childcare support tools are available free of charge.
Nishimura: There are many cases in which municipalities have discontinued subsidies or are held back by the cost of installing a system. We started this service with the hope that we could solve these regional differences and budget problems by offering the service free of charge. In fact, we have seen many of our "Yes Cheese! system, more than 90% of the teachers we have talked to have realized the benefits of the system, saying that it has led to a reduction in their work hours.
