イベント託児システム(ならっこイベント)

In September 2010, we started to provide childcare services during various on-campus events, such as seminars, workshops, and symposiums to ensure that those with babies/children are able to participate in these events. Based on the numbers of babies/children to take care of during the events as well as the sizes of the events, users can choose between the following two types of services.

Two Types of Childcare Services During Events

  • Group-Based Childcare

A sponsoring/coordinating organization of the event requests childcare supporters to provide a service. Multiple supporters take care of multiple children.

  • Individual-Based Childcare

An individual participant of the event requests a childcare supporter to care for his/her child(ren) only. (The request needs to be made via the event sponsor/coordinator.)

To organizers of on-campus events considering to offer childcare services to their participants

It is not uncommon for childcare services to be provided at academic conferences and symposiums where researchers get together. The availability of childcare services also enables people with babies and/or children to participate in seminars, etc. We provide childcare services during events sponsored/coordinated by NWU faculty, staff, etc. We adjust the service delivery to meet your unique needs, based on the numbers of children/babies to take care of, fee scales, cancellation policies etc.

  • You can make your even flyer more attractive by writing “childcare services available” on it.
  • Even if there is no event participant who needs the childcare service, and the sponsoring/coordinating organization ends up having to cancel the service, there is no cancellation fee until one or two days prior to the event.
