Extended-hours cram school performing the added function of after school care

We have developed a new business model, Meiko Kids, which is an extended-hours cram school for elementary school students in grades 1 through 6 that also performs the function of after school care.
Meiko Kids provides educational services that enable children to acquire self-motivated learning - which is an educational principle of Meiko Gijuku - and study habits at an earlier stage, during their early years at elementary school. Moreover, against the social background of more and more women continuing to work as they raise their children, Meiko Kids also provides safe and reliable extended-hours after school care for first-year elementary school students and upwards.
Through our new Meiko Kids business, we aim to increase our students in early elementary school grades who will become Meiko Gijuku students as they grow older, further expanding our client range and achieving a synergy effect with our Meiko Gijuku business activities.
