Osaka City Selects Provider for New Regional Child-Rearing Support Center
Osaka City has announced the selection results for a public proposal process to contract a service provider for its new Regional Child-Rearing Support Center (Hiroba-gata type). This facility, slated to open in October 2025, aims to provide essential support and a welcoming space for families with young children within the community.
The announcement, published on August 1, 2025, at 04:00 on the official Osaka City website, marks a significant step forward in the city’s commitment to enhancing child-rearing environments and strengthening community networks. The selected provider will be responsible for the operational management of the “Hiroba-gata” (plaza-type) facility, which is designed to be a central hub for child-rearing support activities.
Regional Child-Rearing Support Centers play a crucial role in fostering a supportive ecosystem for parents and children. These centers typically offer a variety of services, including safe play spaces for children, opportunities for parents to interact and share experiences, consultations with child-rearing professionals, and access to valuable information and resources. The “Hiroba-gata” model specifically emphasizes the creation of an open and accessible “plaza” where families can gather informally and build connections.
The procurement process, conducted through a public proposal (pro-posal) method, underscores Osaka City’s dedication to transparency and fairness in selecting qualified organizations capable of delivering high-quality services. This competitive approach ensures that the chosen provider possesses the expertise, vision, and commitment necessary to effectively manage the new support center and meet the diverse needs of Osaka’s families.
The upcoming opening of this new facility in October 2025 is anticipated to provide significant benefits to the local community. By offering a dedicated space for interaction, learning, and mutual support, the center will contribute to the well-being of both children and their caregivers, promoting positive child development and alleviating some of the challenges associated with raising young children. Osaka City looks forward to the successful launch and operation of this important initiative.
