What is the Fukuoka Family Support Center? It is a membership organization where "people who want support in child-rearing" (requesting members) and "people who want to support child-rearing" (providing members) engage in mutual support activities for child-rearing in the local community. For example, when it is not possible to take children to or from nursery school or kindergarten, when members return home from a children's group for families away from home, or when going out for special occasions such as weddings, funerals, or shopping, the network allows members to look after and leave their children with each other. It is available to all families with children, not just dual-income households. Membership registration is required to use the service. Both requesting members and providing members are required to attend a training course, and after completing the course, members can register as members.
