The infant and toddler care space is available on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and the elementary school care space is available on weekdays from noon to 7 p.m.

The district has equipped play facilities, toys, and books so that children can enjoy playing, and plans to conduct ongoing programs such as reading play activities, art, and craft activities.

Additionally, it will recruit 10 children in grades 1 and 2 of elementary school from dual-income families to provide after-school care and offer opportunities for caregivers to share parenting information.

Those interested must make a reservation in advance. In accordance with social distancing guidelines for COVID-19, the district plans to limit the number of users at the same time to no more than 10 on a first-come, first-served basis.
