NEW! Temporary Nursery Rooms "Nakayoshi" and "Mirai"

In order to support faculty, staff, and students who work hard both at the university and at home, Osaka University will be opening temporary nursery rooms on the Toyonaka and Minoh campuses as temporary/emergency childcare facilities for toddlers to elementary school students during times when other nurseries are unavailable to cover their childcare needs, such as early morning, in the evenings, and on weekends and holidays.

Your children can receive childcare from babysitters contracted by the university. In addition, the university will cover a portion of the fees for this service, making this service easy to fit into your budget.

A two-week registration period is necessary for enrollment for these services, so if you intend to use this service, please register as soon as possible!

We are also making preparations to open a temporary nursery room on the Suita Campus! More information will be available in the future.

The flyer for this service can be seen here .
