While temporary school closures are being taken at elementary and junior high schools etc. in response to the spread of the new coronavirus, efforts are being made in Mihama Town, Fukui Prefecture, to allow women with childcare teacher qualifications to be able to self-learn at a cafe that is their own store manager Has begun.

This cafe in Mihama-cho, Fukui Prefecture is open only on Saturdays and Sundays during the winter season, but due to the closure of schools due to the spread of the new coronavirus, children can not go to schools but also libraries etc. Because of that, we decided to open up space for self-study on weekdays.

Miki Adachi, the manager of the cafe, is a nursery teacher and has experience as a junior instructor. Together with volunteers from university students, she also provides support for teaching self-study children to study.

In addition, as a preventive measure against infection, it is necessary to prepare a disinfectant such as alcohol in the store and to periodically ventilate the room.

Acceptance is limited to 20 people a day, and it can be used for about 500 yen from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm on weekdays.

Mr. Adachi said, "I think there are some homes that are in trouble due to sudden school closures, so I want you to use it regardless of grade."
