- In addition to interacting with children, childcare workers are burdened with reporting to parents and keeping growth records
- ChiReaff Space® is a service created to support childcare workers who are overwhelmed by their daily duties.
- In addition to supporting documentation, the system also has a child chart and development management function that assists new nursery school teachers in understanding the personality and characteristics of each child based on data from 40,000 children.
Child care workers spend time with children for working parents. It is a rewarding profession to be involved in the growth of children, but on the other hand, their hard work has been called into question. They arrive at the school earlier than the children in the morning to begin preparations, spend time with the children during the day, and after seeing the children off, a lot of paperwork awaits them. Many resign from their jobs due to the hard work, or take their work home with them and work without pay.
ChiReaff Space® is a service that supports such busy childcare workers.
