Hey there! Do you know what’s happening in Tokyo? 🎌 Starting in September 2025, all preschool kids in Tokyo will get free daycare! That’s right—no more daycare fees for families with little ones. 🎉
Tokyo’s governor, Yuriko Koike, announced this awesome plan to help families and encourage more people to have children. Japan has been facing a problem called a low birth rate, which means fewer babies are being born each year. By making daycare free, the city hopes to make it easier for parents to work and raise kids at the same time. 👨👩👧👦
Why is this a big deal? Well, in many countries, daycare can be super expensive. By reducing this cost, families can save money and maybe feel better about having more children. This could help Japan’s population grow in the future! 🌱
Isn’t it cool when a city comes up with ideas to help its people? What do you think about this plan? Would you like something like this in your city? 🤔
