- The following is content from the press release -

(Head office: Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture; Representative Director: Yoichi Yanase; hereafter "icuco") announces the start of collaboration with Studio Alice, Inc.

Through this collaboration, we aim to further improve the quality of childcare by creating an environment where all those involved in childcare can look after children with peace of mind.

Studio Alice is a photo studio specializing in children's photography with 431 stores in 47 prefectures across Japan, and has long provided professional services that bring smiles to children's faces. On the other hand, icuco provides high-quality, low-cost services that are close to the childcare field, utilizing technology unique to a company that originated from an automobile parts manufacturer.

Through this collaboration, we will combine icuco's technological capabilities with Studio Alice's expertise to develop future services and provide even more attractive services for children and their families.

We provide not only photography, which we have cultivated in our specialized children's photography studio, but also site management, product development, printing factory, and support services, all of which are performed in-house, so you can use our services with peace of mind and security.

The application can manage a vast amount of information such as arrival/departure management, nap checks, teaching plans, journals, etc., all in one place.

It also has the ability to manage information from multiple preschools at once, improving the speed of information management, sharing, and form creation, thereby creating a more comfortable working environment for childcare workers.

We operate 431 photo studios specializing in children's photography in 47 prefectures throughout Japan. We offer a wide range of services, including training staff to bring out the smiles on children's faces, developing products and costumes, setting up one of the largest laboratories in Japan, and providing a variety of photography menus.

From shrine visits to coming-of-age ceremonies, we help families create precious memories through photography by preserving important family moments as commemorative photos.
