Nakayoshien, a day-care center for infants and toddlers of 0 to 5 years old, is located in the Shikata area of Okayama University to take care of children of faculty, staff, research students, and graduate students. Nakayoshien is especially active in accepting children from 0 to 1 year old, which are becoming increasingly difficult to enroll in licensed nursery schools in the neighborhood. In addition, to support working women returning to work, we do our best to accept children even in the middle of the school year.
