Frequently asked questions

  • Is there a microwave or refrigerator on site? No — this is a temporary nursery. Please bring food and drinks that don’t need heating or refrigeration.
  • Does my child need a futon for napping? No need to bring one — baby racks and towel blankets are provided on request.
  • Can I bring my child’s favourite toy? We recommend against it, as the provider cannot be responsible for lost or damaged items.
  • Can I check in on my child during a break? To keep the group setting calm and focused for all children, parents may not enter the childcare room during sessions. If you’d like to spend time with your child, please treat this as a temporary outing from the room.

Provider: Alpha Corporation Co., Ltd., a regular member of the Japan Child Care Service Association (ACSA).
