HighFlyers Releases New "Translation Function" for "Kiitosu-no-To" Contact Book Tool to Further Facilitate Information Sharing

- The following is content from the press release -

High Flyers, Inc. operates 11 licensed nursery schools in Chiba Prefecture ( https://www.kiitos-kids.net (headquartered in Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture, Japan; Takashi Hinata, President; hereinafter referred to as "High Flyers") has released a new function to its contact list tool, "Kiitosu-no-To".

About "Keetosu-no-to

Keetos is a communication tool for parents and guardians created from scratch by nursery school nurses from the perspective of the field. It is used at "Keetos," a licensed daycare center operated by High Flyers.

This tool can be easily operated with a smartphone and introduces various functions that make child-rearing fun, such as posting letters and photos of daily childcare activities. This is convenient for parents who are busy with work, housework, and childcare, as it can be checked anytime and anywhere as long as a smartphone is at hand.

In addition to communication, there are various other functions related to preschools, such as "attendance management" to prevent accidents resulting in loss of life of children due to being left behind, which has become a major problem in recent years, and "meal kit purchase" to "say 'thank you' to teachers," which is a unique initiative of HighFlyers.

Furthermore, taking advantage of our in-house development, we immediately reflect feedback from parents and childcare workers, and make daily updates in real time to make the system even easier to use.

Purpose of the release of the "Translation Function

Keytos is currently attended by parents and preschoolers of various nationalities, and the languages spoken are varied. Some of them have difficulty speaking, reading, and writing Japanese. Until now, English-speaking nursery staff have been available, and written notices have been written in hiragana.

However, this was not enough, and both the parents and the preschool were left feeling uneasy about communication. We want to break down the language barrier and communicate more with the parents! I want them to use the day-care center with peace of mind! This is why we started to create a new "translation function" for the nursery.

The "translation function" allows both nursery staff and guardians to translate notices from the nursery and text of daily letters sent to "KiTosuNoto" into the language of their choice at the touch of a button via Google Translate. We believe that the release of this function will overcome the language barrier that has been an issue in the past, further facilitate communication and information sharing with all parents, and enable us to provide higher quality childcare services.

Parents who use the service have happily commented, "I used to have to copy and translate, so this is very helpful.

Future Development

We will continue to listen to the voices of all those involved with children, customizing childcare to today's lifestyles and creating a daycare center that makes people want to come back tomorrow.
