株式会社coconone

cocone Inc. (Location: 6-12-3, Inaho 1-jo, Teinei-ku, Sapporo, Representative: Hiroto Izumi) started a crowdfunding campaign on CAMPFIRE on April 27, 2025 to raise funds for the opening of "Child Development Support Coconone," a child development support center where children with medical care and physical disabilities and their families can go together. Crowdfunding for the opening of "Child Development Support Coconone," a child development support center where children with medical care and their families can go together, began on CAMPFIRE on April 27, 2025. While the number of children with medical care is increasing year by year*1 in Japan, there are only a limited number of facilities in Hokkaido that are barrier-free and staffed by specialists. By completely renovating an old private house and providing a parking lot and emergency power supply, we will provide the community with a place where they can "try what they want to try" with peace of mind.

Child Development Support COCONONE


Background: Experiences in the field that made us keenly aware of the lack of places for children to go

The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare estimates that there are approximately 20,000 children under the age of 18 who require medical care such as ventilators and suction devices nationwide, an increase of 1.5 times over the past 10 years*1 However, in Hokkaido, there is still a lack of day-care facilities that are wheelchair accessible and have power for medical equipment, forcing parents to travel long distances. As a physiotherapist, I have worked with hospitals and welfare institutions to provide wheelchair-accessible facilities for children.

After 12 years of working as physical therapists at hospitals and welfare facilities, the Izumi couple saw that children "lack options for play and social experiences" after being discharged from hospitals, and decided to establish the corporation in 2024. They decided to establish a corporation in 2024, with the aim of creating a "community base" that would support children's smiles and family life, and planned to open an old private house-style facility with barrier-free renovations and disaster prevention equipment.



Features - Specialist staffing and disaster prevention specifications encourage "parent-child commuting

1. management by professionals

A physiotherapist (the representative and his wife), a nursery school teacher, and a nurse are on hand to provide consistent support for posture maintenance, feeding, and breathing management. 2.


Acceptance of children with medical care and children with physical disabilities

We plan to install a power supply for suction equipment and oxygen concentrator. Of the 10 children, a quota for children with medical care will be secured. 3.


(3) Full renovation of an old private house x Complete barrier-free access

Slopes to eliminate steps, sliding doors over 90cm wide, barrier-free toilets, spacious shower area, and a play space where 3 wheelchairs can turn around at the same time will be designed. 4.


4. emergency portable battery

Medical equipment can be operated even in the event of a power outage. Prepare for the risk of earthquakes and heavy snowfall in Sapporo. 5.


5. parent-child day-care center & peer support

Prevent "orphaned children" by providing childcare counseling sessions and support for siblings.



Future Prospects - Expanding the comprehensive support model through regional cooperation

We raised 3 million yen through crowdfunding and plan to officially open the center on July 1, 2025. The center will fill its 10-person capacity within 6 months of opening, and by 2026, it will conclude a collaboration agreement with neighboring pediatrics and rehabilitation departments. The center will contribute to "creating a community where children with medical care and their families can continue to live.
