Yaruki Switch Group's Dedication to Childcare Support in Ehime Prefecture

In a noteworthy initiative, the Yaruki Switch Group, an integrated educational service company based in Chuo, Tokyo, has taken decisive steps to support childcare services in Ehime Prefecture through its participation in the corporate version of the hometown tax donation system. The aim is to foster a thriving educational environment that collaborates closely with local communities. This initiative aligns with the company's mission to enrich children's futures through education.

On November 20th, a presentation ceremony was held at the Ehime Prefectural Office, where Kensuke Okuda, the Vice President of Kumon Group and an Executive Officer of the Yaruki Switch Group, presented a donation certificate to Vice Governor Kaname Hamasato. This event symbolizes the growing partnership between the private sector and local governments to support children’s growth and development in the region.

During the ceremony, Okuda remarked, “The disparity in educational opportunities across Japan is a significant challenge that requires our collective attention. Supporting children from their early years is essential. This donation marks the beginning of our commitment to enhance the environment for childcare households in Ehime, and we are eager to work alongside the community to ensure children thrive.”

The donations will specifically fund the “Egao no Kodomo Seikatsu (Smile Childcare Support Project)” by Ehime Prefecture, which focuses on creating a supportive environment for children’s healthy growth. Okuda emphasized the abundant resources in Ehime, such as its natural beauty, culture, and history, that can enrich children’s experiential learning and stimulate their curiosity, further guiding them toward a bright future.

Expanding Educational Services in Ehime

Recently, with the establishment of the Kumon Group as part of its portfolio, the Yaruki Switch Group has broadened its service offerings in Ehime. New educational programs launched include:

• - “School IE”, a personalized tutoring service with locations across the region.
• - “Ninja Nine”, a youth sports program, has opened five studios in Matsuyama, including Matsuyama Shio, Matsuyama Yodo, Matsuyama Kuwahara, Matsuyama Izumi, and Matsuyama Higashi Ishii.
• - Integration of AI-driven essay correction services in the Prep Academy.

Moreover, plans are underway to establish a Child-Eye center in Matsuyama for early educational development and exam preparation by November 2025, along with the introduction of the Kids Duo after-school English program in December, marking a first in the region. These initiatives reflect Yaruki Switch Group’s commitment to providing diverse learning opportunities tailored to the needs of local children.

The Philosophy Behind Yaruki Switch Group

Yaruki Switch Group encourages the growth of what they term the “Three Powers for Creating a Happy Future.” These include:
1. Self-Power: Enabling students to think, decide, and act independently.
2. Co-Creation Power: Fostering the ability to work collaboratively and create new values through environmental engagement.
3. Imagination Power: Equipping children with the skills to envision and anticipate future possibilities.

The firm operates schools such as School IE, Child-Eye, WinBe, Kids Duo, Ninja Nine, and others, with over 2,300 schools across Japan and international locales supporting more than 130,000 students.

In June 2023, the group aligned with TBS Group, signaling a strategic move to merge educational services with media initiatives. With the acquisition of the Kumon Group, Yaruki Switch Group is poised to bridge educational gaps and drive educational reform in local communities throughout Japan.

Ultimately, the Yaruki Switch Group aims to unearth the unique, intrinsic potential of every child, nurturing their dreams and supporting their journeys in life—a testament to their dedication to empowering the next generation through education.
