Family Support Center

What is the Inagi City Family Support Center Project?

The Inagi City Family Support Center project is a mutual aid activity within the community where user members who want assistance with parenting and activity members who want to provide parenting support help each other in raising children.
We assist with children's pick-up and drop-off as well as short-term childcare.

For detailed information about the project, please also refer to the Inagi City Family Support Center project guide.
