Lik has entered into a contract to acquire all shares of Chizukai Child Care Co., Ltd., which operates 15 childcare facilities, on December 1, 2026. The company focuses on operating the licensed nursery "Egao no Mori Nursery" and provides child-rearing support services, and the Lik Group aims to strengthen cooperation to achieve sustainable development of the childcare business.
On October 26, 2026, Like's local subsidiary will open its first overseas childcare facility, "Niji-iro Nursery BSD", in BSD City, Banten Province, Indonesia. In response to the increasing number of dual‑income households and severe childcare facility shortages, it will provide "Japanese‑style childcare" equipped with safety and an educational environment, contributing to improving the local child‑rearing environment.
In a survey conducted by Like (Like Kids), 315 parents in the Greater Tokyo area, including Chiba, Kanagawa, and Saitama, were surveyed, revealing that more than 70% could not enroll their children in their first-choice childcare center, indicating high childcare demand. When choosing a center, there is a strong tendency to prioritize "access to the center", and the difficulty of enrolling in childcare centers continues. By 2026, the number of childcare centers closing or dissolving will reach 36, and the number of children waiting for childcare nationwide will increase to 2,435, with a significant increase especially in Tokyo.
Like Kids and Hanamaruki jointly held a hands-on food education event where preschool children explored koji using their five senses. The event aimed to introduce traditional food culture and help children understand umami.
