Bears Expands in Kitakyushu

Celebrating its 25th anniversary this October, Bears Corporation, headquartered in Nihonbashi Hamacho, Chuo, Tokyo, is set to enhance its collaborative efforts in childcare support with local governments. Starting from July 21, 2025, Bears will join the "Pre-and Post-Natal Childcare Support Helper Dispatch Project" in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture. This initiative aims to provide crucial domestic assistance for families who may be feeling isolated, particularly those with new children.

Background and Development

Since its inception in 1999, Bears has steadily evolved, placing a strong emphasis on administrative cooperation in childcare support and housing assistance. Notably, in June 2024, the Japanese government finalized its “Basic Policy 2024,” which includes measures for home assistance services as a response to declining birth rates and promoting women's active participation in society.

With the growing trend of nuclear families and a weakening sense of community, many parents often struggle with the challenges of raising children alone. The number of municipalities offering domestic and childcare support has increased, indicating a response to the needs of these families.

Some of the specifics of the project include offering services at a reasonable rate of approximately 1,000 yen per hour for qualified residents in Kitakyushu who have limited access to help for household chores and childcare. There are provisions for discounts based on citizens' tax status, promoting affordability and accessibility for all families in need.

Future Directions

Looking ahead, Bears is committed to enhancing its quality of service and ensuring customer satisfaction by creating a robust support system. The company aims to deliver reliable, safe, and convenient services that align with the daily lives of families. By forming partnerships with various municipalities, corporations, and organizations, Bears envisions contributing to a society where everyone can enjoy their desired lifestyle without undue stress.
