Childcare Services
Information about the Rest Area with Kids' Space and Nursing/Diaper Changing Space
We will also provide a rest area with a kids' space and facilities for nursing and diaper changing, in addition to the childcare room. These facilities are available for use at any time without prior reservation. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us (popecoloffice.com).
Information about Childcare Room Registration (Closed)
At the conference, based on the recent survey results, we have decided to set up a childcare room at the venue (including the reception venue). Additionally, we have decided that everyone who pre-applied for childcare can also use sick child care in case of sudden illness such as fever.
We have set the usage fees at a considerably low rate, subsidized by the conference organizers, to make it as accessible as possible for everyone. However, our conference finances are tight, so we kindly request those paying with public funds to contribute a slightly higher amount.
Please note that besides certified childcare professionals, we may also have childcare assistants with experience in family support assisting in the childcare room. Furthermore, families are welcome to attend the reception (children under 7 attend for free). It is also possible to participate in the event with your child without using the childcare room.

The Use of Sick Child Care Services
All applicants are eligible to use the sick child care services in the event of sudden fever. However, for the safety of your child, we kindly ask that each individual visit a medical facility before using the sick child care services. (In other words, we recommend bringing your child's health insurance card in case of sudden fever.)
Use During the Reception
For those using the childcare room during the reception on November 16: Please accompany your child to the reception venue. For those using the childcare room until the evening, please pick up your child by 6:30 PM, and we will take care of them again at the reception venue.
