Popolar is a Japanese childcare and education brand operated by Task Force Co., Ltd., a company founded in 1989 that provides childcare support and educational facilities across Japan. Its urban and licensed nursery schools are guided by “Solo Education,” an approach designed to help children become more independent, think for themselves, and turn curiosity and “I want to try” into “I did it.” The program includes specially developed curricula, daily activities, events, and opportunities to build social, practical, and problem-solving skills.

Popolar offers flexible childcare to suit different family and work schedules. Services include monthly enrollment, temporary childcare, extended care, gradual transition care, and handmade meals, with dinner available. Registered families can use Popolar locations nationwide. The organization also provides information about individual schools, courses and fees, school visits, tours, consultations, and application materials. Its website shares updates, frequently asked questions, and childcare blogs from its locations. Popolar additionally offers corporate childcare services and recruits childcare professionals for new-graduate and experienced roles.
