Regarding the level of expectation for the use of childcare ICT, approximately 90% of the total respondents expected the use of childcare ICT, indicating that the majority of parents expect the use of childcare ICT. In particular, 100% of the parents who are already using childcare ICT answered that they "hope that childcare ICT will continue to be used," indicating that they feel the benefits of using childcare ICT.
The most common advantage that parents feel is beneficial is "It is good to be able to check notifications and contact lists anytime from a smartphone (e.g., not tied to time)" (65.78%), indicating that busy parents tend to feel that the ability to communicate without being limited by time or location is an advantage. This is a clear indication of the trend among busy parents. Furthermore, when asked what they expect from childcare ICT in the future, the most common response was "I want to know more about how my child is doing at preschool," followed by "I want more data to be recorded (as a record of growth)," indicating that they expect to learn more about their own children.
summary
The results of the survey showed that approximately 90% of the parents expect the use of childcare ICT, indicating that the needs of parents are high, and more than 80% of those who are already using childcare ICT are "satisfied" with it, indicating that parents are highly satisfied with childcare ICT. However, the penetration of childcare ICT is not high, as only 36.9% of the respondents are currently using childcare ICT.
By providing childcare ICT free of charge, we will contribute to reducing the workload of childcare workers by promoting the introduction of childcare ICT to childcare facilities and developing services that meet the needs of parents who do not want to miss their child's growth and want to know more about how their child is doing. We will continue to develop services that meet the needs of parents who do not want to miss their children's growth and want to know more about how they are doing.

Yes Cheese! Sen Corporation, which offers a series of childcare ICT services, conducted a survey of 100 parents with children attending childcare facilities on their attitudes toward childcare ICT.
From the parents' perspective, some parents answered "don't know" in the actual utilization of childcare ICT at their preschools, so it is likely that there are cases where facilities have actually introduced childcare ICT systems for business management and other purposes.
Parents' desire for childcare ICT services is based on their expectations for the recording part of their children's records: "I want more records of my child's growth" and "I want to know more about how my child's life at the preschool is going.
In addition, more than 60% of parents feel that it is convenient to be able to access information anytime via smartphones and other devices. It is hoped that the use of childcare ICT will enable preschools to meet the expectations of parents who want to know more about their children's condition and growth "anytime" and "as much as possible" without putting pressure on the operations of the preschool.
Let's take a look at the details of the survey from the press release.
