Through a 20-year cohort study, we have been exploring the factors associated with child development and empirically analyzing childcare support. As a result, we not only have developed five supporting scales (i.e., the Child Development Scales, Social Skill Scale, Checklist for children with difficulties, Index of Childcare Environment, Index of Center-Based Childcare Environment), but also outlined their practical uses. These practical uses will encourage high-quality childcare and provide improved support for both children and caregivers.
　We have also developed 5 electronic versions of a childcare support system with flexible utilization and that provides a better visual capture of results and practical applications.
　This site will introduce the application of these tools in order to achieve high-quality child and childcare support. If you are interested in the online version (i.e., the online childcare support system), please try the trial version first.
