Global Kids (株式会社グローバルキッズ) is a Japanese childcare and early-education company whose corporate philosophy is 'All for the future of children' (子ども達の未来のために). The group operates nursery schools (保育園), after-school care (学童保育), and child developmental support (児童発達支援) services, primarily in the Tokyo metropolitan area. Its stated vision, '2030 Triple Trust,' aims for the group to become the most trusted presence for staff, parents and children, and the community, and to serve as social infrastructure for children's growth and learning. The company positions itself around child-centered care, teamwork, safety, and gratitude, summarized in its 'STAT' values (Safety, Teamwork, Action, Thanks). It has adopted the Dutch-origin Jenaplan education model, and in 2026 announced that 11 group facilities were certified as Japan's first Jenaplan 'research promotion schools.' Global Kids also runs a food-education program called 'Engohan' (えんごはん) that emphasizes enjoying food and nurturing heart and body. Global Kids provides both licensed and non-licensed childcare, including Tokyo-certified nursery schools (東京都認証保育所) and company-led childcare centers (企業主導型保育所). It also operates the 'Global Kids Act' developmental support centers. The group publishes a blog and recruitment information, and in 2026 signed a memorandum of understanding with Kinderland International Education for business collaboration. The company is headquartered in Tokyo and remains privately held; no public listing is indicated in available sources.

Global Kids is a Japanese childcare provider that has developed a network of nursery schools, after-school care programs, and developmental support centers, mainly in the Tokyo metropolitan area. The company's public materials emphasize a child-centered approach and a mission to contribute to children's futures. Its corporate philosophy, 'All for the future of children,' is presented alongside a code of conduct and a credo that commits the group to being trusted by staff, parents, children, and the community. Over time, Global Kids has expanded its range of services to include Tokyo-certified nursery schools (東京都認証保育所) and company-led childcare centers (企業主導型保育所), as well as child developmental support through 'Global Kids Act.' The group has also invested in pedagogical innovation: it adopted the Jenaplan education model, which originated in Germany and spread in the Netherlands, and in February 2026 announced that 11 group facilities were certified as Japan's first Jenaplan 'research promotion schools.' This certification reflects the group's ambition to be a leader in alternative early-childhood education in Japan. In March 2026, Global Kids announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Kinderland International Education, signaling an intent to pursue international business collaboration. The company also runs a food education initiative called 'Engohan' (えんごはん), which focuses on enjoying food and nurturing both heart and body. Global Kids maintains a public blog and recruitment site, and its vision '2030 Triple Trust' sets a goal for the group to become the most trusted presence for employees, families, and society by 2030, serving as social infrastructure for children's growth and learning. The company is headquartered in Tokyo and appears to be privately held.
