Childcare ServiceDay-Care Pick-Up Service
“I’m unable to collect my child from day-care on certain days of the week.” “I suddenly need to attend a meeting this evening, and might be late collecting my child from day care.” Have you ever experienced problems like these? The Kyoto University Gender Equality Promotion Center (abbreviated as Center) provides child pick-up and nursery services for researchers and students who have such problems. We commission a private company to provide the Day-Care Pick-Up service. A care provider (a sitter) will be sent from the company to collect your child from day care and provide temporary care at the Center’s day care room.
※Please note: service fees revised in April 2020.
