Premise story: What is child development support?

Children with disabilities up to the age of 6 before entering elementary school are sent to facilities such as child development support centers, where they are taught basic movements, knowledge and skills in daily life, and adapted to group life like in a nursery school or kindergarten. This is a facility designed to provide a place for children to learn.

Types of child development support

・Child development support office

This is a facility where preschool children with disabilities can receive developmental support in their local area.

In addition to supporting preschool children with disabilities, we also provide support to the families of preschool children with disabilities.

In addition, we aim to establish as many child development support offices in nearby areas as possible, and this facility also aims to expand the number of offices.

・Child Development Support Center

Child Development Support Centers play a central role in child development support in each region.

If a child development support center is compared to a "city hall," a child development support office can be considered a "branch," and unlike a child development support office, it is much larger in scale and provides a wider range of services. Masu.
