Mila-bo Launches Online Reservation Service for Childcare Support

Mila-bo Co., a company dedicated to developing services for local governments, has announced the launch of its online reservation system, named "mila-e Reservation," starting from May 7, 2026, in Ishioka City, Ibaraki Prefecture. This initiative aims to enhance the childcare support services available to expectant parents in the region.

Background of the mila-e Reservation Implementation

In Ishioka City, the local government has been keen on providing comprehensive support to families during pregnancy and parenting. With the introduction of the "Mother and Child Health Handbook" application developed by Mila-bo in October 2024, the city has been facilitating communication and information sharing through what is known as the "Ishioka Childcare Support App."

The integration of the "Childcare Support Fund" has enabled the implementation of the mila-e Reservation system, focusing initially on providing seamless online booking for pregnancy consultations. This integration allows users to receive notifications and parenting information directly through the app, transitioning smoothly to make reservations for consultations while minimizing the time-consuming task of booking via phone during municipal office hours.

User Process and Access

The mila-e Reservation service is easy to access. Users can simply tap on the “Online Reservation” option on the top screen of the Ishioka Childcare Support App. After logging in with their mila-e authentication account, they need to fill in their information to complete the booking. First-time users will be required to create an account to utilize the service properly.

For inquiries about the service, residents of Ishioka City can contact the Childcare and Health Division by calling 0299-24-1390.

Overview of mila-e Reservation

The mila-e Reservation service is designed to digitize the reservations and reception processes associated with local government services. Users can conveniently book or cancel appointments via their smartphones 24/7, significantly improving user convenience while also optimizing administrative workflows.

This online reservation system works in conjunction with the "mila-e Oyako Handbook," focusing primarily on appointments for consultations, classes, and events. For those municipalities interested in implementing the mila-e Reservation system, Mila-bo conducts individual explanatory meetings to discuss potential integration.
