Poppins to Open Its First Child Development Support Center 'Poppins Bloom Toyonaka' in Toyonaka City, Osaka Prefecture, August 2026

Poppins EduCare, a subsidiary of Poppins Co., Ltd. (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Group CEO and President: Maiko Todoroki), will open 'Poppins Bloom Toyonaka,' Poppins' first child development support facility, in Toyonaka City, Osaka Prefecture, in August 2026. Leveraging Poppins' unique, tightly integrated network—operating six childcare and after-school facilities within the same city—the center will deliver comprehensive support services.

Child Development Support Facility 'Poppins Bloom'

Poppins Bloom is Poppins' first dedicated child development support facility, offering both attendance-based and home-visit support services.

The name 'Poppins Bloom' symbolizes how each child's rich diversity and individuality come together, mutually recognized and respected, to bloom into a magnificent flower. The overlapping double 'O' in the 'BLOOM' logo represents 'infinity (∞)'—signifying the infinite potential within every child, as well as the strong, warm bond between families and Poppins, walking hand in hand.

Poppins has long practiced its unique 'EduCare (Education + Childcare)' philosophy to nurture each child's potential. At this facility, we will continue to support each child's individual growth by embracing their unique personalities.

Three Key Features of Poppins Bloom

1. Comprehensive Support Through Close Integration with Poppins' Childcare and After-School Facilities

Poppins Bloom will leverage the 'Poppins Network,' closely collaborating with Poppins' childcare and after-school facilities in the same area to provide comprehensive support. By sharing children's information across facilities, we create an environment where each child receives optimal care regardless of location. With services spanning nurseries to after-school programs, Poppins will accompany children throughout their growth journey.

2. Hybrid Support Model (Attendance + Home Visits) for a Secure Environment

In addition to attendance-based support, Poppins Bloom will offer home-visit services, where support staff visit childcare or after-school facilities to assist with group living challenges. Consistent support from Poppins Bloom staff ensures children feel safe and secure across various environments.

3. Individualized Programs That Turn 'Likes' and 'Strengths' into Growth

Specialized staff will draw out each child's individuality through personalized, interest-based lessons to discover their 'likes' and 'strengths.' By offering programs based on each child's interests and curiosities, we help them accumulate success experiences and develop personalized plans that foster growth and self-esteem.
