The Kyoto University Gender Equality Promotion Center offers the Day Care Room for Infants on Waiting Lists for Public Nursery School to help researchers and students who are struggling to balance work and childcare, while being on waiting lists of public nursery schools.

A service provided for researchers and students who are unable to pick up their child from nursery school or cannot make it in time, a babysitter will pick up their child and provide temporary childcare at the Gender Equality Promotion Center.

A facility ocated within the Kyoto University Hospital, in cooperation with nurses and childcare staff present on-site, provides an environment where children of Kyoto University faculty, staff, and students can be cared for without their parents having to take time off work or research when they are unable to attend kindergarten, nursery school, or school due to illness or convalescence.

You will need to get a “Consulting Doctor Contact Form” in advance from your regular doctor, etc. (Kyoto University Hospital Pediatric Outpatient Clinic does not accept advance consultations)

These two day-care centers originated from a joint workplace day-care center established in a corner of Kyoto University, and many of the parents of the children at these centers are still related to Kyoto University.
Therefore, the Kyoto University Staff Union and the two day-care centers maintain a good relationship, and as a rule, childcare counseling and consultation on admission to day-care centers for union members are held at the staff union office from 12:10 to 12:50 on the second Tuesday of every month.
