Baby Gym: A Revolution in Early Childhood Movement Education

Overview
In July 2026, ALCOMOT Corporation will unveil the Baby Gym, a dedicated indoor movement classroom for children aged 0 to 3 years, in Komagome, Tokyo. Located conveniently near both Komagome and Hakusan stations, this innovative facility aims to tackle the declining physical ability of young children, while also addressing the growing burdens faced by parents during child-rearing.

In 2007, the physical abilities of 5-year-olds were comparable to those of 3-year-olds in 1985, indicating a regression of approximately two years in just twenty years. This decline is coupled with a reduction in opportunities for physical play, leading to a concerning situation where injuries occur even during warm-up exercises in elementary school gym classes.
Furthermore, the World Health Organization recommends that children over the age of one engage in at least three hours of physical activity each day. However, data suggests that preschool children in Japan only manage an average of around 20 minutes per day.
