●Nagasaki
A Childcare Support Facility Offering Diverse Spaces that Connect Families with the Community
Located in Sasebo City, Nagasaki Prefecture, this newly built childcare support facility was established by a kindergarten with a 65-year history. It serves as a new community hub open to local families, providing a welcoming environment for child-rearing support. By gently connecting a variety of spaces—including an earthen-floored area, an atelier, a playroom, and a multipurpose room—the facility encourages natural gathering and interaction between parents and children. It has become a comfortable and inviting place where local families can drop in as part of their daily routines.
